Stitch Fix - February 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 I had posted a few really cute sweaters on my Pinterest board, so I was really excited to see what they would send me. Here's a quick view of what I had posted, including that amazing sweater I was sent back in September that was just too much money, a sweater with amazing colors that I saw on The BoxQueen, and a very comfy looking sweater I saw on Living in Yellow.



I then, specifically asked for the Kut From the Kloth Nadir Chiffon Knit Top pictured on the left in my note to the stylist. I was very excited to see what I'd get!

My stylist this month was Kristen.


Chaplin Hooded Anorak Cargo Jacket - $88.00


This jacket is a lot like the Analisse Anorak Jacket I requested and received back in August. It's a bit heavier, the color is more neutral, and the material isn't as soft. I'm a sucker for these jackets, though. I have to start sending them back, but not this month. ;)

Presley Colorblock Button-Back Sweater - $68.00



This sweater was really cute. I loved the colors and the colorblock on it. However, buttons in the back just don't make sense to me and I don't like the way they feel on my spine when I want to sit back and relax. This was also a polyester and wool blend. I knew there was wool in it the minute I put it on because my skin started to itch.

Hiedi Jean - $98.00


Kristen mentioned in her note that she had seen on my blog that I had mentioned that I needed black jeans.  Let's see, I remember writing that. When was it? There it is! November! Thank you, Kristen, for reading so much feedback! She also noted that these were low rise and lengthy, referring to my complaints of jeans that are too short.

Normally, I would not spend this much on a pair of jeans. However, I did have some credit (thank you for clicking on my links!) and Kristen is right, I do need a good pair of black jeans. These are extra skinny, so I hope I can pull them off.

Iowa Split Neck Blouse - $48.00


My husband put it best: the pattern is much too loud. He and I agree that this is a nice shirt, but it's just not my style. It was very light and fit well.

Status: Sent back





Aditi Spade Earrings - $28.00


So, I've apparently already misplaced these earrings. I guess that means I don't have a choice in keeping them or sending them back. They're around here somewhere!

Anyway, I'd keep them even if I hadn't lost them. They are gold earrings that aren't too large, but not too small either. They're subtle and can be worn to church or just around the house. I can't wait to find them and I'll post a picture as soon as I do.

Overall


I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that my request for a specific sweater went unnoticed, but I'll try again next month. I was happy to see that a stylist took the time to read my blog and find out what it was I liked and even mentioned some styling for church. I love it when I feel like they take the time to review feedback!

Just like I mentioned last month on backing off of cardigans, I'm going to have to do the same with the jackets. I've kept four jackets Stitch Fix has sent me and I love all of them! I just can't afford to keep buying them and I'm out of room in my coat closet.

My next Fix is scheduled for March 10, 2015.
