Stitch Fix Time!
What is Stitch Fix?
So everyone is talking about it and it is everywhere on Pinterest. So what is it?
I've had it for almost 2 years and I love it. I originally signed up because after several years of staying home with babies, I was returning to teaching, part-time, and everything I owned was either out of style, didn't fit, or was worn out.
Is it a subscription service? Yes....but....my favorite thing is that you completely control when you receive anything and can easily skip one....or more....months if you are....say selling your house and moving across town. Or have 38 birthday presents to buy any particular month.
Another great feature is that it only costs $20 to send out a box...but you get it all credited towards any one (or 5) things you buy.
My 3rd most favorite feature is I don't have to drag any disgruntled preschoolers around to the store and dressing room with me....where they most assuredly yell out things like "why do you have all those veins all over your legs!?!???!".....or worse.....
Here is the rundown (in bullet points....cause ain't nobody got time for reading paragraphs....)
*Go to Stitch Fix
*fill out an online survey about sizes/preferences/likes/style
*choose what type of pricing you prefer (I always pick "as cheap as possible;)
*Link your pinterest account....VERY important! I have received many items I have pinned....they actually look at it and listen :)
*Schedule your box....and then change your arrival date 23 more times during the month because you can't wait...
*Five items (tops, bottoms, accessories....whatever you picked that you want)
arrive at your door in a pretty little package.
*Take 3 business days to try it all on in your own closet.
*Send back anything you don't want (free shipping, return packing already included, you can just stick the whole thing in your mailbox or drop off at the post office).
*Fill out the online "survey" about what you liked and didn't like.

SOoooooooo.....here is my box!
I tried all the items in my box on with jeans....because that is just the easiest and fastest when you have a 2 year old occupied....because he won't be busy for long!!
I am a part-time elementary reading teacher and a mom of two littles, so I asked for more casual pieces. I read books on the floor with kindergartners and take my kids to the park, so I was not really in need of cocktail dresses and business suits, but they have those too!
I absolutely LOVED this first one. It is a Market and Spruce Corinna Striped Dolman top. It was very soft (kind of a light weight knit sweater-y material. It was comfortable and fit well.
I kept this one!
(The front looks just like the back)
My second piece I also loved and kept. It is the Pomelo Moni Stud Detailed 3/4 Sleeve blouse in Cobalt.
The next one was a sleeveless Le Sample Kahlo Embroidered Solid Tank. I loved this one out of the box. We live in South Carolina, so we will still have warm days even now in October. The front was cute....however....
Except the side view reminded me of my maternity wear....I love my babies. Maternity wear? Not so much. Back in the box it went!!! (Besides...SOMETHING has to go back....can't buy it all!!....sigh. :)
This Pixley Montgomery Chevron Cross-Front top was in the middle for me. I couldn't decide. It was comfortable enough, but was not my favorite either. So at 34 years old, I 've learned that if I don't love it right off, it will just hang in my closet unworn. So back it went also.
(And I think I am still regretting sending this back...bleh.)

I also received a lovely pair of Liverpool Collen Straight leg jeans....however they were too big and too short (story of my life) so I didn't even take a picture of them on. Can we all, as women, just agree that finding jeans that actually fit is a Herculean event?!?!
Can't wait for my next box!
