I was just as excited for this month’s Stitch Fix (my second!), as I was for my first! This month has been crazy busy…as this time of year always is…so I was ready for some great Christmas-time gear without having to hit the stores in person.
I made sure that my Stylist Note was crazy detailed for December. I told them I wanted: plaid, vests, skinny jeans, a warm jacket, and a little sparkle 🙂
Kristen M. was my stylist again, which I liked. Not only is it nice to have a little consistency, I feel like a stylist can only get to know your style if they have worked with you a few times and gotten to know YOU. Kristen’s note was sweet, even mentioning Living Swagger, and I definitely think she checked the boxes of my “want list”. That being said, I wasn’t as thrilled with this Fix as I was with the first…
Oswego Tie Neck Top – $68 / Jimmy Skinny Jean – $88
I said I wanted plaid and skinny jeans- check, check. The top is cute and definitely plaid, but reminds me too much of my maternity tops. For my figure, the fit just isn’t flattering. It is 100% Rayon, and should be hand-washed or dry cleaned (another big drawback for me). I will say, though, that the tie-neck detail and button sleeves are both feminine and fun.
The jeans actually fit great. They are the perfect amount of stretch and don’t seem like they will bag in the knees. The problem? The butt pockets are spread so far apart, they accentuate an area that I don’t need accentuated ; )
Verdict: Returned (both)
Time Carved Teardrop Chandelier Earrings – $28
A little sparkle- check. These earrings have lots of pros…love the length, the gold, the detail, and they seem well made. The con? I have way too many earrings…way too many…
Verdict: Returned
Calandra Side Button Hooded Poncho – $68
I love this sweater! It seems so perfect for so many different occasions…from dressed down running errands to dressed up dinner date with the hubby. Cute flats, comfy boots, a skirt and booties- I can see it all! It is super warm and the Acrylic/Cotton blend should be hand washed.
Verdict: Kept
Oakjoo Faux Suede Moto Jacket – $128
A warm jacket- check! This jacket is a winner, for sure. The faux suede outside is a contrast to the sweater-like inside. It is warm, it is stylish, and it is fun. Really, it is perfect! It is 100% Polyester, and must be dry cleaned (bummer I know, but that is pretty status quo for jackets). It is a perfect Christmas present to me from me ; ) Unfortunately, I just found an amazing jacket while I was on vacation and I just can’t justify two back to back…sad day for me.
Verdict: Returned
A note about Stitch Fix:
It’s a super easy to use service…you fill out a style profile, choose the prices you would be willing to pay per each item type, and decide how often you want to get styled. You have the option of setting up your own Stitch Fix Pinterest board that your stylist can look at while styling you. A stylist from Stitch Fix will then be your own personal stylist for however often you choose to receive a box, sending you 5 items based on your style profile, Pinterest board, and personal instructions. If you purchase an item, the $20 service fee goes towards it, if you keep all 5 items, they take 25% off, or you can send all the items back and they only keep the $20.
