Fortunately, (at the time not so much) I bought a bunch of Spring/Summer work tops last year right after the pandemic started from J Crew. I got everything at 60% to 75% off, which meant I didn't spend much. But I felt like I could add another shirt or two and definitely some updated work slacks.
If you haven't heard of Stitch Fix, let me tell you a bit about them. You pay a $20 styling fee that can be used towards the purchase of your items that are sent to you. You can create Pinterest boards with styling inspiration, you can go to the Style tab and say if you like outfits or not, you can tell your stylist what you are in the market for and you can take the quiz to give sizing/likes. Then you get a preview (this is new to me) of what is to come. If you don't like something, you can change it out or have a new box made. I had a new box created as I didn't like any initial styles. But to be fair, I hadn't gone to the Style tab or updated my preferences.
So this is what I got in my first fix.
I tried these on with the blue top and cardigan. Not really how I would pair them, but it was easier than pulling items from my closet. I LOVED these pants. They were stretchy, very long (maybe a bit too long), in a beautiful olive green, they have pockets and zip up. They were a nice work pant or even a pant you can wear on the weekend. I wanted to keep these, but $78 was a lot for right now. I will re-purchase these in the future though. Just when I am back in the office full time. RETURNED
These are very similar to the green ones, but not as long. I could always use a pair of black pants for work, so I ultimately kept these. They were a great option for work and play. KEPT
This was the softest cardigan. I loved how cozy it was, the pockets, the length and fit. But with my area heading into Summer, I didn't think I would get much use out of it until Fall and the Winter, so it went back. Sadly. RETURNED
When I saw this on the card I wasn't a fan. It looks too much like a maternity shirt with the ruching on the side. But then I put it on and it was better. It was soft, a great length, great coverage, but ultimately it was too much of a maternity/postpartum shirt. It would be perfect for a nursing mother, which I am not. RETURNED
I loved this shirt when I saw it. And I loved it on, BUT the seems were frayed and the threading in the armpit area was already coming apart. I tried it on and loved it even more, but I felt that after one wash it would fall apart and paying $68 is too much for something that wouldn't last. RETURNED

Overall, I was satisfied with this box even though I only kept one item.

All these years and I’ve never tried Stitch Fix. I did another service twice and didn’t like it but I can see the appeal. You look darling in these pieces.
ReplyDeleteI see the appeal too. But I also feel obligated to buy things. Ha. I do love the pants though.
DeleteI've done Stitch Fix in the past but awhile ago! I like what they sent you, too bad many didn't work out, but it's ok to just keep one!
ReplyDeleteYes it is. I used to love it, but then I didn't really need it. It was fun to try it again.
DeleteI love those pants that you kept! They look great on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. They are really comfy and perfect for work and going out.
DeleteThe wrap shirt looks great on you! xo, Biana
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteI havent used Stitch fix in awhile... I should try & see what they have for summer - I typically use them in winter to get cardigans :)
ReplyDeleteI love winter cardigan too. I thought why not try it again? And the stylist did a pretty good job.
DeleteI have never tried Stich Fix and I am tempted to sometimes...as I would love to have someone else's opinion on what would look good on my body shape. Right now I cant find clothes anywhere that I like. The pants you got are really cute on you!
ReplyDeleteI thought of you for this. Because you said you can't find anything at Target and other places. That is also why I said yes to trying them out again. I need a wardrobe change and they helped. I am doing another box soon.
DeleteI think you made awesome choices! Those pants are super flattering. Stitch Fix has always been a fail for me (lots of fall/winter clothes sent to a gal in Hawaii), but others have been so successful!
ReplyDeleteI love the pants and thank you! I would definitely ask for only Spring/Summer clothes for you. They should realize that you don't need winter stuff in Hawaii.
DeleteI've never tried Stitch Fix for me! I wonder if they ship to APOs?!
ReplyDeleteI would think that they do, but I have never checked.
DeleteI liked this post and hope it continues. I felt it was very beneficial
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really appreciate that.
DeleteNice picks! The blouse looks fab on you! Too bad the quality is not up to the mark.

I wish it was up to my standards as it was really cute.
DeleteI just got a box in yesterday and the three items I loved at first sight were all returned and the two I thought I'd return I ended up loving when they were on; you just never know. You got some great items!
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. Did you do a post on your items? How often do you do a fix?
DeleteLove this post. Cute pieces.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
