Stitch Fix - January 2015 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 was my twelfth Fix marking one year of using the subscription service. It was also scheduled to arrive the day before my birthday, so I was ready to treat myself.

Chantal Cowl Neck Knit Top - $38.00

I'm a fan of the cowl neck, but don't have many in my closet. I was excited to see this one, until I put it on. I tried this top with cardigans and jackets, but the longer I had it on, the more I was convinced there must have been some mistake and they sent me a maternity shirt. It fit well around the shoulders and chest, but poofed out at the bottom. The look was very unflattering.

Denna Colored Skinny Jean - $78.00

These jeans fit really well. They are a good length and fit will around my waist. However, I'm having troubles with the color. I have a lot of neutral colors in my closet, so I tried this with black, white, brown, and grey. I tried them with jackets, sweaters, hoodies, cardigans, and t-shirts. Nothing seemed to work with them.

Layla Striped Elbow Patch Detail Cardigan - $48.00

Ooo and ahh. The material of this cardigan is very soft. It's also a heavy cardigan which would be nice for the winter. It's got cute little patches on the elbows (how did I miss those in the photo?) and is a nice length. My only concern is that I have a lot of cardigans at this point.

Henry Birds on Branch Infinity Scarf - $28.00

I have marked blue on my style profile as a color not to send me. Looking around other blog posts, I saw this scarf in many different colors, so I had to question why they sent it to me in blue.

Overall, however, the reason for marking blue as a color not to send is because I have so much of it already. This scarf will go well with many items in my closet.

Sheila Colorblock Cotton Top - $38.00

I wasn't too thrilled about this top when I first saw it. It's definitely the kind of shirt I would walk right past without a second thought at a store. However, I try everything that Stitch Fix sends me because every once in a while, they surprise me.

This was one of those tops. I liked it a lot once I put it on.

Overall

In the note left by the stylist in my box, I was reminded to update my style profile for the best fixes. Yeh, I do that. Two of the items contained a color I requested to avoid, so I'm having troubles believing that updating my style profile helps. Still, three out of five isn't bad. At least there wasn't another dolman shirt.

I am going to have to back off the cardigans for a bit and start sending back the items in blue. I need a bit more versatility in my closet. That's the entire reason I started this subscription!

Last month I had mentioned that I may suspend my subscription for a while if I wasn't able to get back on track with my health. I've been doing pretty well that last couple of weeks, however, so I will continue to use Stitch Fix as an incentive.

My next subscription is scheduled for February 10, 2015.
