Stitch Fix – Fix #9 Review
Is anyone else feeling like their closet needs some updating?? I can’t remember the last piece of clothing I have purchased for myself. When I look back and pictures from many years ago and see that I still have the same top in my closet, I know that it’s time to get a new box from Stitch Fix!
My 9th fix arrived last week, and since I peeked, I was really excited about what was coming. My note to the stylist asked for a pair of black jeans or pants, casual long sleeve tops, and a dress that hits just above the knees and can be worn with a normal bra. She gave me exactly what I asked for!
Bancroft Shiyane Fireball Layered Necklace – $28
This is the first piece of jewelry I have received from Stitch Fix. I don’t actually wear much jewelry aside from a pair of diamond earrings and my wedding ring, but occasionally I’ll wear a long necklace so I was kind of excited to see this one. Unfortunately, it arrived broken … and tangled. Once I get got it untangled and tried on, I realized this one wasn’t for me. It is just too short for my taste so even though I could have exchanged it, it was returned.
Mix by 41 Hawthorn Kallon Brushed Knit Hoodie – Dark Purple – $38
This top is totally my style and the color is exactly what I would pick out! It is lightweight and fit perfectly. The only thing I wasn’t excited about with this top was that the sides come up a little higher than the front and back. Even though I really liked it, I knew that this would bother me which means I wouldn’t get the use out of it that I should. It was returned.
Mix by 41 Hawthorn Alison Essential T-Shirt Swing Dress – Navy – $38
I’ve seen swing dresses, posted about them often and even bought one on clearance for the Haiti trip I mentioned. The one I bought didn’t fit quite right and it was a lighter, solid color that didn’t look so good. I left it for the Haitian women. J
I was super surprised by the quality of this swing dress! It is a heavy material, but not thick and had a little form to it. I love the color on this one, too! When worn alone, I just did not think it was very flattering on me. However, when I paired it with a cardigan, long necklace, and a pair of boots, I really liked it! Unfortunately, I didn’t like that I was limited to wearing this only with a cardigan and boots. This was returned.
Sam Edelman The Kitten Mid Rise Ankle Skinny Jean – Black – $98
This jeans were exactly what I asked for – black, mid rise, skinny, and almost perfect length! I have a terrible time finding jeans that fit right in stores but have had great luck with Stitch Fix. Unfortunately, I put on a few pounds this winter after my trip to Haiti and the holidays so these were a bit snug. I could have exchanged them for a larger size, but I’m working to get back to where I was last Fall so I didn’t want to give myself that option. These were returned.
Pink Clover Shenaya Knit Top – Green – $44
This top was my absolute favorite! It fit PERFECTLY and was a GREAT color for me. It was a perfect length in the torso and sleeves and the neck on it laid just like it should. The only downside to this top was that it is thin. You cannot wear it without wearing something underneath. Unfortunately, I couldn’t justify paying $44 for one shirt right now. It was returned.
Final thoughts:
Even though I ended up returning everything on this fix, I was really happy with what they sent and will definitely be ordering another box soon! One thing that Stitch Fix has taught me is to really evaluate the pieces I am buying. Yes, their prices are a little higher than I would normally spend at the store (on some things), but I love having a personal stylist to pick out clothes for me and give me tips on how to wear them. And, I might just request the Pink Clover top again in my next fix!
