My First Fix

After all the hustle and bustle of packing, unpacking, and organizing...our apartment is finally coming together! Wednesday and Thursday were both absolutely exhausting and then I woke up Friday morning to a really wonderful surprise -- my first "fix"

A couple weeks back I signed up for Stitch Fix. After you sign up on their website, you answer about 30 style questions so they can get to know your fashion style, items you're looking to stay clear of, brands you love, your sizes, price range, etc.

They then put together a special package just for you that includes 4-5 items. They ship that package to your house which allows you to shop in the comfort of your own home! You can try the different pieces on and then decide which ones to keep and which ones to send back. They provide a shipping bag and label for any or all items you wish to return!

They also include a free little gift in each package. For me, it was this cute package of post-it notes! Also included is a list of the items you received and their prices, as well as ways to style each item.

Here's a look at the 5 items I received in my package...

 

 

Although the sheer floral top and wool skirt were cute, they just aren't me. Then the navy jacket that I hated at first started to grow on me...if only it would have been a size smaller.

In the end the white cardigan and the necklace were the two items I really loved! However, with the necklace being $35 and the cardigan being $90, I could only afford to keep one. So I thought about it and although I have 10+ cardigans, I knew I would get great use out of having another one. Putting on a simple tee, jeans, and a cardigan is like my go-to style.

Overall, I really enjoyed my StitchFix experience. It allowed me to shop at home which I loved because I could combine these with items in my closet. It really made me think about how much use I'd get out of the item by paring it with pieces I already own and love.

Now that you've seen my fix, here are a few more important details you need to know...

What Does It Cost?
You pay a $20 styling fee, which can later be applied to whatever you decide to keep. If you decide to send it all back, then you lose that $20 credit.

What If I Like Everything?
If you choose to keep the whole package then you get a 25% discount. So for my entire package, it would have cost me about $177...not bad for 5 name brand items!

That Sounds Awesome! How Do I Schedule My Fix?
Simply sign up here, choose which date you'd like to receive your "fix", fill out the style questions and away you go! StitchFix does NOT bill you every month like other services. Instead, YOU pick when you'd like to receive a new package!

Disclaimer: I was provided with a $50 credit to apply towards my purchase. However, all opinions are my own and 100% honest. I thoroughly enjoyed my StitchFix experience.
