Stitch Fix - November 2014 Review

Stitch Fix is a subscription service where a stylist sends you five items each month based on your profile. You pick what you'd like to keep and send back what you don't like.

This month, I made a note asking for black and classy pieces as I sing a lot during the Christmas season and need "performance" black. So, if you notice the lack of color in this Fix, it was intentional.

My stylist this month was Christina Ann and she did a great job!


Moni Stud Detailed 3/4 Sleeve Blouse - $58.00


I've seen this shirt around the Stitch Fix blogosphere and knew I would eventually receive it. I know a lot of women have liked and kept this one, but I'm not a big fan of the studs. The shirt didn't seem tailored very well as it sat lower on one shoulder than the other, making the  studs around the corner look crooked. I also didn't like the way the sleeve poofed at the elbows.

Aveda Sheer Cinched Waist Blouse - $68.00


I really liked the over-all style of this blouse. It had two layers: sheer layer, and then a solid tank top underneath. Cinches at the waist often make me look pregnant, but this one didn't do that.

However, this isn't a Colorado fall/winter blouse. I was freezing while I took the picture. I tried putting a blazer or cardigan over it, but it just didn't work.

I was on the fence for a few days on this, but ultimately decided to send it back as it wasn't worth the price.

Collen Straight Leg Jean - $78.00


I could use a good pair of black jeans in my closet, so I was happy to see these. However, I do wish they were just a tad bit longer and I didn't find the fit very flattering. I'm willing to pay the price for jeans that I love, but these just didn't get to that love status.

Carver Faux Leather Quilted Bomber Jacket - $118.00


I'm going to be honest. This jacket has caused me to need a trip to the Confessional. When I pulled this jacket out of the box I uttered an "Oh, my ... " as my jaw dropped. I LOVE IT! I'm going to have to dig a bit into my savings for this one, but it's worth every penny!

The material is heavy for a cold day and the collar comes up like a turtle neck which keeps the cold wind off my neck.

Status: Kept




Alfie Chevron Ribbed Edge Infinity Scarf - $32.00


The material on this scarf is very soft and I love infinity scarves. The colors of the chevron stripes are great for fall. This one was a keeper!

Status: Kept



Overall


Even though I only kept two items, this is the closest I have ever come to keeping all five items. I liked four of them and it would have been cheaper to keep all five with the 25% discount I would have received for keeping them all then it would have to just buy the four I liked. However, I just didn't love the jeans and the blouse enough to hold on to them.

My next Fix is scheduled for December 16, 2014.
