I honestly don't know how and where people find these super cute, perfectly styled clothes because I am not seeing them at the places I shop. (Huh, perhaps that means I'm shopping at the wrong places...) Part of the issue is that I just don't really care that much, which is why I wear a lot of black capris and tank tops and in the winter that switches to black yoga pants and simple and comfortable long sleeved shirts. I like to be comfortable and not flashy or risky. I rarely wear busy patterns and I am not trendy. At all.
So get this...you go online and fill out a survey answering a variety of questions about your style (ha. style?) and preferences. They show you complete outfits and you tell them whether you love it or hate it. You tell them styles you would never wear and styles you wish you could include more in your wardrobe (I think I said more classic and romantic styles.) I love me a good survey, so I thought that part was fun. I was a bit nervous when most of the pictures of complete outfits were totally not me, but I decided I would never know how this would work unless I tried the entire process, so I just gave it a whirl. Once you've completed the survey, you wait for your Fix! And you get the luxury of trying on in your own house without having to dig through racks at Marshall's. It also forced me to try things that I wouldn't normally pick out. They give you helpful cards with two ways to wear that specific item. That may be awesome for people who have a ton of clothes and options, but I don't own skinny jeans or pencil skirts or scarves, so I just kept the work pants on that I wore yesterday with everything. Ha.
We were all pretty pumped when my package arrived!
She wasn't too happy when we pulled it away from her in order to open it up.
My little helper....
To be honest, at first sight I could already tell I was going to be stretched a bit.
A.) A simple (but expensive) cardigan. Tom really liked this one and I definitely don't have anything like it.
B.) A sweater. With holes in it. Just not sure I can pull off holes AND the the short in front/long in back look.
C.) The least expensive top. Looks a bit "animal print" to me, but is very soft and comfortable and has cute detailing on the sleeves.
D.) A "tank". I think it's romantic looking, so I can see what they were trying to do, but I think I would like it more if the fluttery sleeves continued in the back somehow. I don't really like to show off my arms, so the back is almost a bit too revealing or something.
E.) Another sweater. Pretty colors and very soft. However, I don't do "tight" and the sleeves were too clingy for my liking while the rest of it just looked baggy.
(The girl looooves paper and anything she can tear into small pieces.)
So what do y'all think?! Any of them worth keeping? I will tell you that I paid a $20 styling fee that is then used as a credit towards whatever you decide to keep. And I only have three days to decide, so I need your feedback! I have one I'm leaning towards, but am open to suggestions *smile.
If you like to be surprised (I do!) and think it's fun to get mail (I do!) and have someone "shop" for you (I do!), then maybe you should give Stitch Fix a try! It's fun to live life on the edge.
But seriously, let me know what you think! I need help here people.

awww she's so cute! I would keep A, B and C xxx
ReplyDeleteI like A and C the best. I've never heard of it before, sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I really like the sweater with holes in it and love the short front / long back. I would keep all except D and E.
ReplyDeletethis is a really good idea! I should try it.... I like the first cardigan the best :) But I also like B too....
ReplyDeleteWow. Sarah, you are beautiful. Seriously stunning.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I vote for the first thing- the cardigan!
So glad you tried it!
I agree with Raechel, you are stunning! I don't think I would keep any of them if i were you. I think you can do better! I've seen Stitch Fix have hits and misses. It's such a fun idea! I'm in Canada and they don't ship here, sadly.
