I got my second StitchFix box this weekend! (I get them once a month.) I asked this month for my box to focus on colorful shirts because my casual everyday closet is basically full of navy, gray, black, and white right now. I have some fun ones for Sunday, but I prefer more t-shirty tops during the week.
Anyway.
From what I've heard, they typically send four items of clothing and one accessory, but I got five shirts in my box! Whaaaaaat! Going through each piece before trying them on, I was a little nervous because four of the five were clinger knits than are typically good for me, but also really impressed with what my stylist sent after listening to my feedback / needs. Here's what I got!
I forgot to take a picture of this one before returning it, so here's a teeny picture from the app. :) |
Loved the color, loved the lace inserts in the sleeves. The lace was see-through, so I'd have had to sew in a lining or wear an undershirt with it, and it was just too expensive for a shirt I'd have to alter.
Verdict: Returned
#2:
I forgot to take a picture of this one and then couldn't find it anywhere online! But this top is similar. I liked it, it fit well, and I loved that it had a v-neck that wasn't low enough to need a tank top. However, it just wasn't special enough to warrant the price.
Verdict: Returned
#3:
I've been afraid of horizontal stripes and told my StitchFix stylist so. But, she sent this one, I tried it on, and loved it! It's so comfy, needs no adjusting or undershirt, and I love how it looks! If it didn't have the brighter neckband, I would've sent it back, but I like the balance. Love how the sleeves are different than the middle, too. When I showed Joel, he said, "That looks like you. Like, it reminds me of you."
Verdict: Kept!
#4:
Like the color and lace detail on the back. I typically like a little more detail on the front of what I wear, but I still liked this one a lot and Joel loved it.
Verdict: Kept!
And #5:
This shirt was a little hard to photograph without it looking bland or super boxy, but this is basically it. :) Love! This is probably my favorite one from the box. As soon as I put it on, I knew I wanted to keep it. Love the fit, style, and that it's a woven instead of a knit.
Verdict: Kept!
There you have it! Box #2! I don't intend to fill my whole closet with StitchFix items because they are pretty expensive. I'll probably only get a couple more boxes. When I tell people I'm using StitchFix, I always make sure to tell them this is a fun thing that I saved my allowance money to try. It's definitely not for someone who's looking for a deal, but it's great for someone who's looking for help in figuring out clothes. AKA, me. Haha :) But for how I've used it, I really love it!
