I Finally Gave Stitch Fix a Try!

Stitch Fix Box
    For about a year or so now, I've toyed with the idea of trying Stitch Fix.  I've seen other people talk about their own experience with Stitch Fix, but I hesitated.  I am not one to commit to subscription boxes.  They usually seem too pricey for me.  Also, I hate having to go mail a return package.  But then, someone sent me a $25 credit and since I really need some wardrobe help, I decided to give it a try! You can get $25 to spend at Stitch Fix, too and I will get another $25 if you sign up by clicking my link! 
    Since the pandemic with all of its lock-downs started, I have gone to the mall exactly ONCE!  I purchased a few things, spent too much and I still needed a few more things! My shoes are all looking bad, my shirts always get holes in the stomach area for some mysterious reason and I need more pants! So, when I received the $25 to spend at Stitch Fix, I investigated further and here are the answers that I found to my concerns:
  • How can I justify paying a $20 styling fee?  The fee is subtracted from the clothing price when you make a purchase! 
  • I don't want to be locked into a subscription!   You don't have to be! You can try just one box. You can set up a subscription or just order a box manually every time you want one.
  • I hate doing the returns! Stitch Fix makes the returns so easy! They send you a pre-addressed, postage paid, large envelope that you can just drop off at the post office!  Easy peasy! 
  • The price of the clothing will probably be way too high for my budget.  Stitch Fix allows you to tell them what price range you want to shop in.  I chose the most inexpensive prices possible choice!   I found the the clothing I received was comparable to what I would find in the store, not on sale or clearance. Plus, the $25 I received covered the styling fee + $5! Then, that $25 was taken off of the price of what I kept.  If you love everything and keep all of it, you get an additional 25% off! To top that off, shipping is free! 
  • What if they don't have my size and I feel like a loser for even trying this company?  Come on, you know that as women we all have insecurities like that!  When I found out the Stitch Fix did boxes for women in (ahem) of my size, I was hopeful, but still not optimistic because I am very tall and my hips aren't large like some curvier women so it is hard for me to find shirts and pants that I like.  But, I was so pleasantly surprised at the pieces I received in my box! 
Stitch Fix Haul
    When my box came, I was surprised at how small the box was.  Upon opening it, I was amazed that 5 pieces of clothing were in it, plus a note from my stylist, (Danny), and cards showing me ways to style the clothing. I loved that feature.  Plus, there was the return envelope and the list of prices. I must say, I got pretty excited when I saw what was in the box, it all looked really cute and the fabrics were nice, Nothing seemed cheap or poorly made.  Here is what I received:

3 shirts, all super cute! 
1 pair of jeans, I loved them, they were soft and comfy, but unfortunately too big on me!  (That was actually nice in a way! I'm hoping to try them in a smaller size.) 
​1 dress, I liked the print, but not the hemline.

​I'm not showing you the dress, but here are the jeans and shirts.  It was really nice to be able to try everything on in the comfort of my own bedroom rather than a now almost non-existent department store dressing room. You can click on the photos to find out which pieces I kept. 
I really liked this shirt, but the pleat pulled slightly across my chest which I knew would make me constantly have to readjust it. So I had to to say no to this one. These are also the jeans. See how they are a bit loose?
At first I was unsure about this shirt because it is a little flowing around the hips. But my girls liked it and the more I looked at it the more I liked it, so I kept it! I wore it with a skirt on Sunday!
I am leery of stripes usually, but I loved this tee. It is so comfy and long enough for my body! I kept it!
    After the $25 discount, the 2 tops I purchased came to $41, or around $20 per shirt.  In today's market, that is pretty good for a good quality top!  
    My husband, who was photographing me, asked me if it wouldn't be easier to just go to the store and shop and buy the clothes by myself.  I gave him an emphatic "NO!" Here were my reasons:
  1. The Stitch Fix stylist was able to find me items from many sources that I would have had to put a lot of leg work into.
  2. My choices were narrowed down to a few items, so the decision of what was staying and what was going was easier to make. 
  3. Trying on at home is so nice! 
    I want to give a shout-out to my stylist Danny who really listened to me when I filled out my info about what I like and don't like.  You have the option of getting a different stylist if they really miss the mark, but I kept mine!

I just tried Stitch Fix in the last year or so and have had a few boxes where I kept everything! I do love their jeans and had a pair that weren't the right size but since they were the only item in the box that didn't fit I was bummed I wasn't going to get my discount; BUT I found a spot on the return page to request them in the smaller size and they did give me the full box discount anyway. Some of my favorite clothing items have come from them and so far all of the clothes have held up well.
