It’s that time once again, the beloved “Your Fix Is on It’s way!” email has arrived! On par with the course I begin my digging for items ahead of delivery….
As always, for those of you who are unfamiliar with Stitch Fix, let me spin you up. You can sign up here, and when you do please leave me comments on how it’s worked out for you! You’re going to love it, I know I have.
1. Sign up and get started with the Style Quiz – This will create a profile of your style, likes, dislike, body shape & sizing, so that your personal stylist can get a feel for you. There’s also a notes section to let your stylist know about personal likes and dislikes, and a section to add your pinterest board link. I highly recommend this, sometimes your stylist can get you an exact piece you pin, or an article of clothing extremely similar to something you love.
2. You’ll pay a $20 Styling Fee when ordering your first Fix, which will be credited towards any or all items you purchase in your fix. Stitch Fix carries an assortment of clothing, tops, dresses, pants, jewelry, handbags and even shoes! Your Fixes will arrive as frequent or as infrequent as you desire. Five personalized pieces are delivered right to your door, and that’s when the fun begins!
3. Keep what you love and send back what you don’t want within 3 days, in the postage paid supplied envelope. You’ll only pay for what you keep! You’ll get 25% off your total purchase if you decide you love it all! Then I’d recommend you leave feedback on the experience, because it’ll make your next Fix that much better!
So this month my note to my stylist explained I have a bachelorette party on a Sunday in NYC coming up, and I’d like something cute and maybe a tad sexy for that event, but to remember it’s a Sunday Day outing in a hot city. I also noted my 4th wedding anniversary was approaching, and it would be nice to have something to wear out to dinner with the hubs on a cute date night. I’m attending my very first big country concert this month too, and I noted I’d love to have an adorable top to wear to that with jean shorts or something! I may or may not have mentioned Labor Day, and an upcoming wedding, I think I excluded those events. At the conclusion of my prior to delivery searching I must say I was very excited for the arrival of this fix at my doorstep, and below will show why!
Papermoon – Rosella Jersey Maxi Dress, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $74.00
Another one I couldn’t hunt down in my searches, all I kept coming up with was the Waters Maxi dress, so I’m planning on getting something similar in style and cut. A basic cotton maxi hopefully in a fun pattern, and great colors. I almost like the colors, but I’m a bit blue & white dressed out. This makes me wonder if the stylists look at what they’ve sent me in the past. This also was a new stylist to me, Lexi. I like the cut, the V neck line. The note said this was for the bachelorette party in NYC, but this is not anything that I was envisioning for a bachelorette party. This is more of a beach evening with my daughter! I do like the fact that the straps are adjustable though, major plus! I’ll keep it.

Crescent – Edita Crochet Detail Top, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $54.00
Found this item online in white, very cute looking, but I was quite unsure of how it would look on me. The straps seemed very thick, and the neckline boxy. My initial thought was this must be the top sent for the country concert. It would be nice to receive it in white, since I don’t really have very many cute white tops. Then it arrived, as I thought this was sent for the concert. A plus, it’s white, but it’s ridiculously see through. The straps are too big, it’s boxy in the neckline like I thought, short on me, and overall I’m not a fan. There’s no way this one was worth $54! I did keep it because in the end it would cost me to return...maybe it will grow on me?

Pixley – Alasandra Lace Dress, S (Verdict – KEPT) $74.00
This item I could not come up with in my searches, but I was envisioning a very cute short dress with a lace overlay. When it arrived I was kind of on point with my assumption. This dress is wide, so I’m not sure how I feel about it. It would look cute with a jean jacket and maybe some cowboy boots, but that’s not really my style. I also feel it needs some sort of belt. Everyone I showed liked it, so I'm going to give it a try.

Renne C – Melisa Printed Pencil Skirt, S (Verdict – KEPT) $48.00
This one I found in my searches, and it looks absolutely awesome, I hope it’s long enough! I’ve also read it runs small, and on the tight side; fingers crossed I can squeeze into this without too much heartache. I found this skirt online in a few patterns, all seem cute, but I now really have my heart set on the black, white & red one!! What I really like most so far about this skirt is the price! So, I did not get the pattern I was praying for, but the one I got is very cute. This skirt is a bit tight, if I gain any weight I’ll be shoving it in the back of the closet for a while. This was sent to be worn with the black Pixley blouse, and I honestly don’t think the two look great together. The skirt is very tight and fitted, and the top loose, it just doesn’t really look right. I like the skirt so I’m definitely keeping it, but I’ll look for a new top. My stylists noted this was to meet my anniversary dinner outfit request, I think it fits the bill on that.

Pixley – Dinora Lattice Strap Blouse, Small (Verdict – KEPT) $54.00
Pinned this bad boy, and received it! I have seen this top in many bright summer festive colors, orange, coral, a light sea blue, pink. I’d love to have it in almost any color...I spoke to soon because then it arrived and it was black. I already own way way too many black tops, and this is like the third top Stitch Fix has sent me in black. Needless to say I’m changing my profile to note not to send me black! I need color in my life! However it’s such a cute top, and matches the skirt they sent so I’ll keep it!

Overall I’m semi disappointed in this fix. The black top just bums me out because I don’t need black. I feel like they have to meet the price quote, and because I have absolutely no bottoms to be sent I get a dress or two in each fix. I do not wear dresses that often, so I’m also noting on my profile no more dresses. I just don’t feel like Lexi read my requests and met them. The lace dress that was sent said this will work for the upcoming baby shower…What baby shower?! LoL I’m not attending any baby showers, and I’m 100% positive I didn’t note that to my stylist. To double check I messaged Stitch Fix asking for a copy of the note I sent my stylist for this fix. That’s another thing that bothers me, there’s no place to view my past notes left to stylists. It would be nice to have them someplace. My request confirmed I said bridal shower in my note. I don't feel it appropriate to wear white or cream to a shower when the bride most likely will, that could just be me.
Then there’s the white top that is completely see through for $54, what a joke! I’m also curious to know if they have in their file for me, all the items they’ve previously sent. This being my 7th fix I’m seeing similarities in my items when it comes to color, and that’s no good for me. I need more “Spice of Life!”
What are your thoughts on my August Fix? I’d love to hear, so comment away!
