Stitch Fix – Fall Box Review
Another season equals anther excuse for me to try Stitch Fix! I’m not ruling out a more frequent fix, but typically I order a box as the seasons change in hopes of finding something a little different. Sometimes it is also fun request a fix for a specific holiday or upcoming social event. This month I was only looking for a new piece or two to add to my fall wardrobe. Come along and see how my fix worked for me!
In case you’re not already familiar with Stitch Fix, let me fill you in! Stitch Fix takes the stress out of shopping by offering to do all the leg work for you! Simply head over to StitchFix.com and create a FREE style profile. Enter your sizes, style preferences, and set budget limits for different clothing items. When you’re ready, pick a date for your first fix. You’ll be matched with a personal stylist who will review your style profile and hand-pick five items just for you! Better yet, ask your friend who always seems to receive the perfect fix who her stylist is and then request her! The items are shipped to your door and who doesn’t love receiving a box full of clothes! Keep the items you love, check out online, and return any unwanted items in the pre-paid shipping envelope that comes with your fix! Shipping and returns are free. There is a $20 styling fee up front which will be applied to any purchase. Easy, peasy!
A prerequisite for me to absolutely love an item it must 1) Fit well (obviously) and 2)Work well with items already in my closet. If I’m going to spend a little more on these pieces I need them to be versatile and work for the office, date night, girls night out, etc.
I was thrilled when I found out Jessica is now styling for Stitch Fix and could not wait to request her. Her own personal fixes always have fun pieces in a similar style to mine so I knew she would do a great job! I was totally right and loved all but one piece.

I loved the pattern and colors of this top as well as the versatility to be dressed up or down. I styled with black jeans here but know it would work great with a skirt or shorts as well The weight is perfect for our climate and it could be worn almost year round by pairing with fall or spring colors to bring out the variations in the blouse. Honestly I just did not need another off the shoulder top at this time.

You guys know I am a sucker for some colored skinnies and these cords were adorable. The fit was true to size and very comfortable but unfortunately they were definite high waters on my long legs. Since I already have a pair of mustard skinnies I knew before trying them they would be heading back. Such a great color to have this time of year!

One thing for sure, you never want to add ruffles to an area you do not want to highlight! I have fairly broad shoulder and while I love showing off my shoulders with off the shoulder tops, adding a ruffle is a no, no. This sweater would probably be adorable on a much more petite gal but for me it was not flattering. I do love how it paired so nicely with wine jeans and booties!
Cost $54 | Returned
I did love the style of this top and it is oh so soft! This piece i debated over and over but ultimately decided to return. Had this been the only item I was wavering on I probably would have kept it to receive the discount for purchasing the entire box but I just wasn’t feeling it.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! I knew as soon as I pulled this out and saw the maroon and white stripes this would be a keeper if it fit. I love a great fit and flare these days and this dress is no exception. I know it will style well with a blue jean jacket as the temperatures cool off and my tall boots come out from hiding. It will be equally adorable with a pair of slip on sneakers. This piece is so versatile and one I know I will be wearing across seasons in so many different ways.

One thing I love the most about Stitch Fix is how easy it is and how great the customer service has been. Anytime I’ve had any issue at all they have answered my questions quickly and with a positive solution. I love I can pack the items up and place in my own mailbox to return without an extra trip to the post office! And I really, really love that many of the items aren’t found anywhere else so you can count on not being twins with your coworkers and friends. Stitch Fix is fairly low risk so if you have never tried it before it’s worth a go!

So many great pieces. I especially love the two sweaters they sent you and the outfits you created with them with those plum skinny pants. I think the ruffle shoulder sweater is unique and a great price – maybe you should have kept it?! Love the floral cold-shoulder blouse too but you can find a million like those lol. You nailed all these 5 Fall looks my friend!
Welcome by to see my latest. 😉
Hi Ada! Stitch Fix is always a fun way to try things I might not try myself.
Love the dress!!!!

Isn’t it great! Fit and flare styles lately are just the best for me and this one made me feel a size smaller so yea! 🙂
I have been considering Stitch Fix but I’m just not sure. May give it a go! I think you made great choices. I wasn’t a fan of the ruffle shoulder sweater, I’m not sure who it would look good on but you’re too pretty for it!
xo,

LOL…thank you Kellyann! You should definitely try Stitch Fix someday if you just need something fun and unexpected that you aren’t seeing everywhere else. It’s a fun surprise to receive a box with no clue what’s in it! I love that I somewhat “know” my stylist too!
I am so glad you liked the dress! When I saw it I immediately knew I had to send it to you. Sorry the other pieces didn’t work but we can try again next time.
No apologies…at all…you did a great job! I felt like everything (except the sweater) were definitely styles I would have picked for myself. This dress though….it will be around all year!! Even Carly Jo was a huge fan!
You definitely kept the right piece, that dress looks amazing on you! Swing dresses certainly flatter you!
Thanks Amy! I’m sure glad I finally figured out this whole fit and flare and swing dress thing because I’m definitely more comfortable in this style.
That dress??? Totally amazing on you Shelly!!
XOXO

Thank you Jodie! I can definitely see me wearing this year round here.
I didn’t realize they gave you outfit suggestions too, that’s kinda cool!
yes mam! That is one of my favorite parts!
Great choice but it had to be hard to decide! So many cute outfits!

It is always a hard decision for me, Cheryl, when I don’t 100% love everything. Thinking I made the right choice this time though.
I always love reading Stitch Fix posts! It’s a little like I get to open the box myself… 🙂
The dress is fabulous! Perfect for fall!

Jess, it is so fun opening a box with no idea what’s inside! I know the dress is definitely going to be worn a ton. Hope you are having a super week!
That dress you kept is definitely a winner! I’m so glad that you kept it! It looks perfect on you.
That dress is super cute. I love the seams up the front. It’s very flattering! Good choice.
I felt like the seams shaved a few pounds and that is always a win! 🙂
I really love the dress you kept! It’s super cute!
Thanks Julie! I can see this dress working for me year round which is always a plus. Can’t wait to throw on some tall boots with it.
Such a cute dress! I actually love the sweater with the ruffles on you! You look great in it. I know you have to go with what you feel comfortable in as well. So glad you kept the dress!

Thank you Ruth! It is so true we definitely have to feel good in what we are wearing.
I love swing dresses too, and this one is so pretty on you! I’m getting Stitch Fix’s quarterly now. They did great for me in the beginning but we had some problems after that. I like the price points they are sending you – mine are always so much more expensive even though i ask for lower.
Me too! That’s why I stopped do it…everything was always $88.
Lana you can totally add a price point comment to your notes!
I still haven’t tried stitch fix but it looks fun! I love the dress you kept, I totally agree with on your returns too. The ruffled shoulders wouldn’t work on me either, broad shoulders too. But I do need a pair of mustard skinnies so cute!

I would definitely be curious to see if they have a great petite style line Brooke. And shoulder ruffles….definitely not a plus for a broad shouldered girl.
I love reading what people got in their Stitch Fixes. Everything looked fantastic on you, but totally understand the reasons why you returned. Love what you kept, good piece to pick!
Thanks Sarah….definitely think this dress is going to be a year round fave for me.
I’ve been tempted to tr Stitch Fix for awhile, but never took the plunge! I love that you kept the burgundy dress, it looks beautiful on you!

Thanks Beth! I’ve gone back and forth with Stitch Fix. I tried it regularly for a couple of years and then gave up but when I started back up again I made sure to over explain my style, my size, etc. I also started looking at what other people were receiving and flat out asked for their stylists name. Once I found a stylist who “got me” it has been much more successful!
I love that dress that you kept! It’s a gorgeous color! I like that cowl neck top, especially the drape in the front.
