It all started while pinning; I noticed a friend pinning fabulous styles to her board under "Stitch Fix.". Not one to be left behind on a fun fashion foray, I quickly googled Stitch Fix. Along with a link directly to the Stitch Fix website popped up numerous pages of Stitch Fix reviews, photos, a blog, the list goes on.
So, I dove in. And, it was a 100% bust. I lost my styling fee, and was completely disenchanted. That is until said pinner above called and invited me over to see her "Fix". She had received the most adorable Tart jacket in the smoothest terry fabric and it fit me like a glove. Had I been too hasty in my abandonment?
I immediately signed up for Round 2. Fix Day arrived and with a new stylist, Molly, we hit a homerun. A 5/5! Guess what was in there? Yep, Molly had found the adorable Tart blazer! And it was perfect. She had also scoured my Pinterest board and pulled the Papermoon polka dot top as well as a fabulous pencil skirt - both matching items I had pinned. Molly had paid attention.
Which brings me to Fix #3 and my first official review. The first piece of good news - my fix surprised me by showing up early. Two days early! We all remember being 5 on Christmas morning, right? Well, you can relive that feeling by becoming a Fixonista. There is nothing like seeing that brown box with the turquoise tape show up on your doorstep. You can barely wait to run in, grab the scissors and see what goodies are in there.
As I opened the box top, my heart dropped when I saw the little jewelry box. If you have read other parts of my blog, you know I am a bargain hunter. Bargain hunters do not like to spend a lot on costume jewelry. However, I forged ahead and quickly opened the note and style card. 
I could have leaped for joy when I saw the first line from Molly - "I'm so, so happy you loved your last Fix and I'm excited to style you again today"!" And, style she did. Look what I got!
I really liked it, but I also wanted to try some other looks. First, I pulled out a peasant type blouse from TJ Maxx (I am also a Maxxonista - LOL) and voila - a more bohemian look.
In my note to Molly, I had indicated I would like to try the Margaret M Emers pants ($73.50 after discount). Everyone on the Stitch Fix Facebook page raves about them so despite their price tag (definitely more than I usually spend), I requested them. And, they did not disappoint. They are so comfortable and completely versatile. I paired them with a top from another subscription service (more on that in a future post), a 20 year old necklace I had on hand, some kitten heels and yep, again that Tart Blazer. They could easily be paired in a more casual ensemble but my photographer (i.e., my spouse) was getting restless. 
My final reveal is the 41Hawthorn Dita Sleeveless Ponte Dress ($51 after discount). This one drew a whistle from the hubby so it will definitely be worn soon. It is Navy blue and super comfortable. Perfect to go from work to an evening out. I love it!After evaluation, I think the dress was the best deal at $51; although the jeans are half the price of my favorite Sevens so those are a close second.
After two 5/5s, I will be continuing my relationship with Stitch Fix. Want to join me? It's simple:
- Visit Stitch Fix and read over how it works. By using this link, I will get a $25 referral credit. I thank you in advance for that!
- Fill out your profile; it is key to your stylist getting to know you. There are two opportunities to leave personal style advice: in your profile and in a note to your stylist. These are important. Invest some time into making them as useful as you can (abbreviate, don't use full sentences)
- Also, create a Pinterest board. I feel this was so key in getting 5/5s. You can see mine here. I pinned things from the Stitch Fix blog and Pinterest board as well as styles from celebrities/pins that I liked. Some people prefer to let their stylist "surprise" them. That is a great option too, but I am more of a "know what I like" kinda gal.
- Have fun with it. Nothing says you have to keep anything. But I think you will :) And, if you keep all 5, you get the 25% discount. Did I mention there is also a Facebook page where you can buy/sell Stitch Fix items. Search for it. You can always take a risk, keep all 5 and then sell what you don't want on the FB page.
That's it for now...I hope you enjoyed it :) Happy Fixing. xo, Hil
