I first heard about Stitch Fix through one of my favorite blogs,
Peanut Butter Fingers. Basically it is an online service where you enter in your preferences of what style of clothing and jewelry you like, and a price range for what you are looking to spend, and they send you 5 items. You can even link your Pinterest board(s) to give the stylists ideas of what you like. Another neat feature is that you can request specific items---I do have a couple weddings coming up so may include dresses in the future!
You keep what you like and send back what you don't. You pay $20 for the "styling fee" but if you keep anything, the $20 goes towards that purchase.
Stitch Fix is pretty popular right now and has about a two month waiting list. The nice thing is, you can choose how often you want to receive the box. I chose every other month, as I like to go shopping in the stores too!
When you open the box, you will initially see a styling card. This is nice because it shows you what to wear with the pieces-if you need that kind of thing. I do. The second is a list of the items and the prices-if you choose to purchase all 5 items, you get everything for 25% off.
The first item I got was the Bay to Baubles Christy Layered Bauble Necklace for $38.00. They called this light green but I think it's closer to turquoise. I LOVED this item and ended up keeping it! I know I will get a ton of use out of it this summer.
The second item was the 41Hawthorn Dita Colorblock Sleeveless Ponte Dress for $78.00. This fit me really well and would be perfect to wear to work but I was not a huge fan of the colors. I did look online and saw similar 41Hawthorn color block dresses so may request a similar one for the future.
The next item was the Hourglass Lilly Brandi Open Front Cardigan in Coral for $58.00. I loved this cardigan-it fit me great and I loved the color. That being said, I have one that is similar to it. And for the price, it was a little high for a basic cardigan. I decided to pass on this one.
I also got the Renee C Ventura Paisley Print Keyhole Detail Tank Top in green for $48.00. This was really cute and a fun print, however, it ran a little short and I didn't love the way it fit. I ended up sending this back.
The last item I received was a pair of Kensie Jeans Johnny Regular Length Skinny Jean in Navy for $88. These looked black to me...I had been looking for a pair of black skinny jeans for a while so was really excited when I saw these! I typically buy short length pants and these were just a little too long. I could have hemmed them but unfortunately were just a little too snug.
Despite only keeping one item, I would say it was a success as most everything fit me well and most were items that I had clothing similar to already or things I was looking for. Here is a referral link if you are interested in trying it:

I hope to do reviews here each time- I have a few friends who have signed up so it's fun to compare and see what everyone received!
