Yay! My February 2014 Stitch Fix is here! Since Stitch Fix is getting harder and harder to schedule “on demand” I have myself set up for monthly fixes now so they come on a set schedule.

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 shy of a week to arrive to me.  It was delayed a day which I am guessing related to this weather mess that went on this week.

I totally peeked in my account to see what was in my Fix this month before it arrived.  It just lists item names in there and doesn’t have pictures, so I wasn’t spoiled too much, but I did have an idea of what to expect!

Stitch Fix comes with an information card, but I don’t know exactly what I did with mine?  The excitement of the Games has me all flustered!  The information sheet 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 $324 and had I kept everything, I would have had to pay $228 (plus my $20 styling fee).  In comparison, my Fix from last month would have been $180 to keep everything.

Here is what my box included:

~411Hawthorn – Ivy Abstract Floral Print Tab Blouse ($68): At first I looked at this and was like, umm, no way.  Not at all.  And now I love the print, but the shirt just looks silly on me.  I’d love a bathing suit cover-up in this print though!  Verdict: Returned.

~Tulle Angeline Airy Knit Open Cardigan ($78):  I saw cardigan in my account when I peeked and got all excited!  Sadly this one just doesn’t do it for me.  Unlike the printed top (which I am seriously sad doesn’t work for me), I have no regrets about sending this one back.  Verdict:  Returned.

~THML Basel Lightweight Striped Sweater ($68):  Love this one!  It’s not really seasonally appropriate for this weather, but what really is?  It’s supposed to be like -20 with the windchill again tonight and it’s to the point where I don’t even know that anyone cares anymore!  Anyway, this is totally me and I love it.  Verdict: Kept.

~Tart Galena Solid Pleated Ponte Skirt ($78): This is so not me.  I am certain on the right person it would be beyond adorable, but not on me.  No, no, no.  Verdict.  Returned.

~Rikka Betty Chevron Infinity Scarf ($32): Yes, yes, yes!  A million times yes!!!! I’ve seen these chevron scarves in previous fixes and have it as a note for my stylist.  I so love this.  The color, the patter, it’s all perfect.  Verdict.  Kept!

I’m keeping two items from this Fix and I am more than happy with those two, so this is a win for me!  I will do some more updates to my Pinterest board (I just paste a link to it into my stylist notes) and make sure to note that short skirts are not for me and will be anxiously awaiting my March Fix!
