This second Stitch Fix box was not my style. Here’s my fashion pinterest board for reference. I ended up with a different stylist, which maybe meant she either didn’t read all my feedback from before, or just didn’t understand my style well enough. Kind of a let down. These were the contents, from the top:
Quebec Embroidered Peasant Top
This was unfortunately not my style at all. Too billowy and sheer, and I’m not a fan of the chiffon style of fabric. I guess my stylist didn’t see that comment in my feedback from the last shipment?
Verdict: Return.
Hobson Scoop Neck Blouse
I really like the pattern on this one, so I really wanted to like the shirt, but again it’s chiffon. Also a little bit too loose to wear without a tank top underneath, especially around the underarms. Otherwise the length did feel right.
Verdict: Return.
Haiden Distressed Straight Leg Jean
I wore these in most of the pictures, they went pretty well with the shirts she sent. These were cute, but unfortunately about an inch or two too big around my waist. You can’t really tell in the pictures, but I’m sure I’d be pulling them up all day long! I also feel like the ripped sections felt too forced, it’s like they tried to make preppy jeans look distressed. I’d rather the patches be less square, at least, and I’d like to be able to roll the hem down all the way (they’re stitched in place).
Verdict: Return.
Stanyan V-Neck Knit Top
This one was cotton-y fabric and pretty comfy overall. Style-wise, I mostly didn’t like the cinched fabric on the back of the shirt, it’s not my kind of thing. I’m one for plain, straight-cut shirts! Bottom line though is that it felt too big. I wanted it to fit a bit tighter. Starting to think I should ask for a small instead of a medium shirt size!
Verdict: Return.
Emily Lightweight Chevron Infinity Scarf
This was the one thing I really liked in this fix. I wore it with a plan black v-neck shirt and I think it looks great! Good for this end-of-summer time. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot of shirts it would go well with since most of mine have patterns or prints that don’t necessarily match, but I’ll just have to experiment and maybe find some more. 🙂
Verdict: Keep.
Total spent after returning clothing: $28
I’m starting to wonder if they don’t carry a lot of stuff that’s my style. From other reviews I see online like mine, and from pinterest, it seems like they cater better to the preppy or classic look. Either that or they don’t read feedback as thoroughly as they say. I will probably give it another go in a month or two, but I don’t have as high hopes and may not do it again if it’s another let down.
At the very least, ordering from Stitch Fix has made me think more about what I like to wear. It’s given me the courage to ask for clothes that I wish I was cool enough to wear–because really, I am cool enough. 😀 Now, I might just have to go out and find those things in stores myself…
