Stitch Fix
Cost: $20 Styling Fee + Cost of Items Kept ($20 fee will be applied as a credit toward anything you keep from your shipment.)
Ships To: United States.
I’m not sure if this is my June 2014 Stitch Fix or my 2nd May one or what, but I have deliveries scheduled every 4 weeks and I think I got two in April and called one my May box, which is throwing me all off!
If you aren’t familiar, Stitch Fix is a personal styling service for women. You provide your style, size, and budget preferences, and they will send you a package of stylish goodies to try on at home. There is a $20 styling fee that is applied to your order should you decide to keep any / all of the pieces. If you don’t keep anything, you don’t receive a refund of the fee. And if you keep all of the pieces, you get a 25% discount on everything! Also, I should mention that you are only charged once you “check out” at Stitch Fix. You have a few days to try everything on and the box comes with a bag and a prepaid return label so you can easily ship back the pieces you aren’t interested in.
Stitch Fix ships via FedEx and took just under a week to arrive. With the holiday weekend in there I didn’t think that was too bad at all.
As usual, I had peeked at my items in the box (you can go to the review your box area on the website to see what’s coming), but I have realized that it isn’t too much of a spoiler because I can rarely tell what it looks like.
Stitch Fix comes with an information card which includes a listing of everything in the box, prices, and then a total of how much everything would be if you kept everything in the box (it deducts your $20 styling fee and the 25% discount for keeping all of your items). Just to give you an idea, my box had a merchandise total of $394 and had I kept everything, I would have had to pay $280.50 (plus my $20 styling fee). In comparison, my Fix from last month would have been $199.50 to keep everything. Here is what I received:
~AV Max Kokomo Branch Bar Necklace ($62): I like this necklace and think it’s fun and unique, but I don’t know that I like it for $62. I think I would love it for about $40? So I am just not sure about this one! Verdict: Undecided.
~19 Cooper Cathleen Split-Neck Tulip Sleeve Blouse ($68): I really like the fabric and the color of this, but on me? No. Just not looking good. Verdict: Returned.
~Kut from The Kloth Callie Demin Jacket ($78): Some people look totally adorable in a jean jacket. I am not one of those people. I look like I am trying to hard. Plus the cut of this one is all kinds of not me. It’s too short which is another not so amazing look on me. Verdict: Returned.
~Mavi Aiden Ankle Length Skinny Jean ($98): I was scared I was going to spill something on these just taking them out of the box, so for me they are a no. I can basically guarantee I wouldn’t get to my destination without something getting on these. Verdict: Returned.
~Tart Juliano Chevron Print Twist Shoulder Cowl Neck Top ($88): Totally love this! The fit, the fabric and of course the pattern! I probably would have kept it no matter what the pattern, but the fact that it was a funky chevron makes it even better! Verdict: Kept
Like last month I am only keeping one (well maybe two) items from this Fix. As long as I keep at least one item and don’t lose my $20 styling fee I am happy and think it’s worth it to get a fix every month. However, I am going to do some updating and revamping of my preferences and my Pinterest board to see if I can’t get some more keepers next month.

I didn’t think I could pull off a jean jacket either but I love my Costco one & its stretchy denim and soft.
I love the jeans and know that I couldn’t wear white either and my kidlets are older!
I don’t know who is worse about spilling things, me or the kids!!!
Hi Jennifer, do you feel the sizing is consistent with Stitch Fix? I’ve wanted to do it for awhile now but I worry as when I go shopping in a store I can wear anything from an extra small to a large, depending on the cut. Do they charge to return for a different size?
I do think it’s fairly consistent. Think more, say, nordstrom and less, say old navy sizing!
No charge for returning items. You have 3 days to return items (pre-paid pack included in your package). It may not be possible to exchange an item for a different size. Just let your stylist know what you are looking for and they really try to meet the expectation.
Okay what did you decide on the necklace? Cause it was super cute!
I haven’t decided yet!
Love that chevron top! I bought some white skinny jeans a month or so ago and have only worn them once for the same reason! I kept reasoning I’d wear them more once it’s consistently warm, but now it’s almost too warm!
Ha!!! It’s like a disaster waiting to happen with me!
I got that jean jacket a couple months ago and kept it. I am short waisted though. I also got that necklace last month and didn’t keep it. I agree it is cool but I just didn’t think it was worth $62. Love the top you kept!

I wonder if it’s the same exact necklace you got! That would be kind of cool.
Whoa, jean jacket and white jeans?! Different time frame! Looking at the outfit idea cards I would be bummed for not getting that cute black and white skirt or that colorblock sheath dress.
Ha!!!!!
Yes I got the tray with compartments that’s in the Father’s Day box, 3 of the macaron boxes – they were down to ten dollars so I only paid $5 each – I should have got more!!! Great gifts. And a single herb keeper and they’re already at my mailbox in Detroit
Nice!!!!
Love the shirt you are keeping. That is totally something I would keep too. I can’t wear a jean jacket either they just are not flattering on me at all. I think they are all just too boxy looking or something. I agree on white jeans. I have seen very few people who can actually pull them off and the spill factor is a huge issue of us boymoms.
Totally agree on the jean jackets. I just cannot do it.
Have you tried rolling the sleeves up and wearing over a maxi dress. (Jean Jacket) Wear over tank tops with a skirt or shorts. I have a KUT I bought from the Nordstrom sale and has been a saver.
I know it looks so cute on some people, but it’s just not for me.
I actually just bought a jean vest (Kohls) that I’m wearing over some summer dresses. Almost got the jean jacket (it was actually cheaper than the vest) but didn’t like it as much. Worried the vest might be too young for me but I think it’s okay. I have a friend who gets Stitch Fix and keeps everything!
I really want to always keep everything because it’s such a “value”, but I rarely love it all.
I actually have a couple of denim button down shirts that I wear instead of a jean jacket. I just roll the sleeves up to about 3/4 and wear it over all kinds of outfits. That works better for me because it’s longer, more like hip length.
I can see that working better!
I’m getting my first Stitch Fix this week. I am terrified the sizing won’t work (I wear a L-XL) but I figure it’s worth a try.
Report back on your thoughts!
That is my size range and I haven’t had any problems. I am candid with my feedback and the fixes have been getting better each month — usually keeping 3 – 4 items out of each box. I hope you find it an enjoyable experience.
