In case you need to get caught up on my history with Stitch Fix or aren’t sure what it is, why not read through my previous shipment reviews and outfit posts?
Now that you’ve done that, let’s move on to my latest Stitch Fix shipment. I had a $25 credit (thank you to whoever used my referral link!) and thought, hey, I haven’t gotten a Stitch Fix order in over a year. Why not get one now? So, I placed my order.
Since the last time I got a “Fix” they’ve added the ability to link to your blog if you have one or a Pinterest page so they can get a better idea of items or outfits you find yourself drawn to. Which means that in this latest Fix I actually loved the look of all of the items!
Well, you already know I kept the sweater since I wore it on Monday. But what did I think about the rest of the items?
1. Katherine Barclay Tobias Crew Neck Knit Sweater – $98
Pros
Loved the color, super soft, fit perfectly
Cons
Price is more than I would pay for a sweater but with the $25 credit it brings it down closer to Banana Republic pricing and this sweater is very reminiscent of another sweater I have from there that I’ve worn to death
Verdict? Keep
2. Tart Jackman Plaid Cinched Back Cotton Flannel – $58
Pros
LOVED the style, fabric and print and the great details on the back
Cons
WAY too small. I couldn’t even get it buttoned. This made me very sad as I would have bought this in a heartbeat if it fit.
Verdict? Return
3. Leota Fiore Box Pleated Skirt – $98
Pros
Definitely fits with my desire to expand beyond pencil skirts. Comfortable fabric with pull-on waistband design.
Cons
This skirt definitely accentuated my hips! I think it would look adorable on someone taller with a less-curvy figure but on me it just made my bottom half look really, really wide.
Verdict? Return
4. Katherine Barclay Julian Zipper Detail Ponte Skirt – $98
Pros
Someone was listening when I said I needed a new black pencil skirt! The zipper and pocket detail on the back are a nice touch. thick elastic waistband and fun front seam details also give it a unique quality
Cons
I don’t know if I would necessarily call this “ponte” as it’s a lot more like a stretchy, heavier cotton. Regardless, ponte skirts and I don’t always get along and that was the case here. Too form-fitting for my personal tastes. Also, the price point was too high. I can get something similar and better fitting from The Limited.
Verdict? Return
5. 41Hawthorn Tear Gems Fringe Bib Necklace – $38
Pros
A necklace style I don’t have yet at a decent price point.
Cons
I think I’ve learned why I don’t have a necklace like this! Even getting it to lay nicely in the box was driving me crazy! I just knew I would spend all day fiddling with getting the gems to lay flat. Also, the gold parts of the necklace felt kind of cheap and I was worried about its durability.
Verdict? Return
In the end, I only kept the sweater. But this shipment definitely has me wanting to look for a blue gingham shirt now! And I was pleasantly surprised that every single item in the box was something I could have loved if it had fit me better. But, of course, that’s a difficult thing to do when you’re sending items to someone you’ve never met, you know? Although, the element of surprise is what makes Stitch Fix kind of like getting a present every time you place an order!
