Stitch Fix #10 – August 2015

I almost can’t believe that I just typed “#10” in the title bar above! 
Welcome to my TENTH Stitch Fix review! What started as a late-night split-second decision to quickly make a profile and schedule a shipment just for fun has turned into almost a whole year of monthly surprises and new clothing. Here’s to my next 10 fixes because I’m planning to stop any time soon. This is too fun. 🙂
If you’ve been keeping up with my review posts, you know that I’m pretty particular when it comes to what I keep. I’m sure this may drive the stylists crazy (sorry!!), but because I’m not made of money I have to be super selective with what I pick. Just adding one needed item to my closet each month makes this service worth it though, at least to me. 
Out of my first nine fixes here’s a look at what I’ve kept since I started Stitch Fix. Also take note of my 5,000 hair changes. 😉
Six tops…

three bottoms (two pairs of jeans & one pair of leggings)…

and two dresses!

Moving on to this month’s fix!
Sweet Rain Purdue V-Neck Top
 

I actually really like the pattern of this shirt, but I’m not loving the loose semi-peplum thing going on. It also doesn’t do anything for my shape, so back it goes.
Pixley Beaverton Split Back Knit Top
 

Duh! Keeping it! I loved this top when I pulled it out of the box, and thankfully I loved it on just as much! It’s casual in the front, but the split back detailing makes it suitable for social gatherings as well. I really love this one and think that I’ll love pulling it out of my closet to wear frequently.
41Hawthorn Moni Geo Print & Camisole Blouse
 
 

I liked this top better out of the box than when I actually put it on. It would be a perfect shirt if I were working, but I can’t anticipate wearing it that often. To be honest, this one really comes down to a money thing. Of course I’d probably wear this every now and then if I had it on hand, but I really can’t justify shelling out the money for a shirt I’ll only wear a handful of times that I’m not totally in love with anyway. 
Evolution by Cyrus Tamy Short Sleeve Pull Over
 

 
I really, really love this top! I think it’s much prettier in person than it is in these pictures. You should feel the quality! Whoa! I’ve never really seen anything like this top. The back is obviously awesome, and I love the diamond-shape detailing on the front. Unfortunately the price point was way too high for me right now. This is the most expensive Stitch Fix top I’ve ever received, and I’d be crazy to keep it. I’m glad my stylist included it for consideration though because I like to keep my options open.
Kut from the Kloth Aberdine Straight Leg Jean
 

 
These jeans are what dreams are made of! I’m wearing them as we speak. 🙂 This is the fourth pair of bottoms I’ve received from Stitch Fix, and this will be the fourth pair I’ve kept! I love the Kut from the Kloth denim brand and would highly recommend trying them. Though there’s nothing special about the look of these pants, they’re extremely comfortable and fit perfectly. Super thrilled! I was skeptical if Stitch Fix would ever be able to send me a well-fitting pair of pants since I have such a hard time finding pairs that I like myself, but so far I’ve loved and felt confident in every pair they’ve sent. Confidence is key!

What is Stitch Fix?
 
Stitch Fix is a stop-anytime apparel subscription service that sends customers five pieces of clothing and accessories once a month (or more or less depending on one’s preferences) based on price points that one designates in her profile. Stitch Fix stylists hand-pick what to send each customer based on one’s online profile created upon sign up. Customers are charged a $20 styling fee upfront per shipment, but the styling fee is later applied to any item(s) the customers chooses to keep.  If one chooses to send back all five items, Stitch Fix keeps the $20 fee. A customer’s best bet is to keep at least one item since $20 has already been paid. Stitch Fix also includes a prepaid bad to send all unwanted items back. If a customer chooses to keep all five items, she gets a 25% discount off of the entire box. So awesome! I love this concept of shopping!
 
Additional note: Stitch Fix also offers petite and maternity styles!

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother is today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to two little girls (ages 4 and 2) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
