Yay! My April Stitch Fix is here! I have Stitch Fix set up on monthly deliveries because I don’t like to have to deal with scheduling my fixes and they always come nice and early in the month.

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.

The Box

My fix shipped via FedEx this month and took five days to arrive. Not bad at all. Stitch Fix ships from San Francisco, so if you live on the West Coast I am sure it arrives more quickly.

First Look

As usual, I peeked in my account to see what was coming, but it only lists the names of the items and doesn’t include pictures. So you have an idea of what’s coming, but you really don’t know the colors or patterns of things.

Clearly things were off to a good start and I knew I’d be keeping at least one thing!!!

April Stitch Fix
The Information Sheet

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 $374 and had I kept everything, I would have had to pay $260.50 (plus my $20 styling fee).  In comparison, my Fix from last month would have been $219.50 to keep everything.  Here is what I received:

~Emily Lightweight Chevron Infinity Scarf ($32):  Ohh, I love!  Not a surprise here.  It’s chevron.  And it’s an infinity scarf.  I wouldn’t be sad if they sent me a scarf every single month.  Verdict: Kept.

~Cliff Solid Roll-Tab Henley Knit Shirt ($88):  Meh.  I like the material of this and I like the cut and style, but I don’t like the combination together.  I’d want this style in a soft cotton and this material in tank.  Verdict: Returned.

~Adelaide Silk Ruffle Overlay Sleeveless Top ($38): My pictures don’t do this shirt justice and the pictures on the card don’t really either.  This is beautiful. and totally something I would pick on my own.  I couldn’t be happier with this.  Verdict: Kept.

~Rory Geo Printed Knit-Back Tank ($58): I love this print, but the style isn’t me.  It doesn’t fit me right and seems a little short.  Verdict: Returned.

~Axel Skinny Jean ($158): I love these jeans, but I am on the fence about keeping them.  They are stretchy, but still way too tight.  However, they could be “goal” jeans.  We’ll see.  Decisions decisions.  Verdict: Undecided.

I really enjoyed this fix and will for sure be keeping two, maybe three of the pieces. I think there was only one time I didn’t keep anything in my Fix. And once I kept the entire fix! I really like that they offer the 25% discount if you keep everything. Makes it so tempting!

    My first “fix” is scheduled for 4/16 & I’m ridiculously excited! I know how to dress myself in fall/winter, but the minute it “warms up,” the term “hot mess” was coined for me. Seriously, I don’t know what to do with myself when it’s 90 degrees with 100% humidity. I hope they can help.

    1. Jennifer

      I hope you get something amazing!

  2. love what you got! i’d send the jeans back if they don’t fit, you got two other super cute items so i’d say it was a win!

    xo. jenn @ hello, rigby!

    1. Jennifer

      Good advice! Thank you!

  3. I LOVE the ruffle tank! I am going to look for something similar right now. And if you say the pictures don’t do it justice, that means it’s even better than it looks!

    1. Jennifer

      Let me know if you find it!

  4. Brandy Fisk

    I think I want the Adelaide sleeveless top. I tried to find it online. Where would you be able to buy it?

    1. Jennifer

      I am not totally sure. The brand is Miilla if that helps.

    After reading this just now I spent about 5 minutes pitching Stitch Fix to my husband. I’m almost there! I LOVE reading about your monthly fixes, because I get to see the variety of items and get ideas for when I finally do subscribe!

    1. Jennifer

      There are so many options out there. It’s so hard to pick!

    I got my first fix today! Such a fun experience! I kept one of the tops, really wanted to keep the maxi skirt but decided it wasn’t perfect enough for me for $58, the skinny jeans were a tad too big to keep, & the other two items (a bracelet & a blouse) were just not for me. I told my stylist all this & more so I can’t wait for my next fix on April 30! Happy that my monthly subscription is giving me two in one month haha

    1. Jennifer

      Ohh, I need to request a maxi skirt. I would love one in my next fix!

  7. Leslie

    I got the same scarf! I love it. Those jeans look amazing. That would be a hard decision for me too!

    1. Jennifer

      Love that scarf!

  8. Michelle

    I like the scarf and ruffle tank too – i say return the jeans ! when you hit the “goal” you can get some then and put that money towards your next fix items that you love and can immediately wear !

    1. Jennifer

      Good idea!

  9. Lana

    I like your white henley, I am very curious what the material is like. I just got a non-monthly fix end of march and kept only one shirt. http://wp.me/p4lGPl-6m But I really love the idea of not shopping for my clothing, especially after a wasted 5 hour shopping trip today. I am due for another fix this week, hopefully all the feedback I gave will pay off. And I agree with the others, you should return the jeans if they dont fit.

    1. Jennifer

      I should have looked to see what the material was exactly. It was stretchy, but not just cotton.

  10. Tina

    I love the jeans, I have a pair and they are my favorite. In fact, I can’t wait for my box to come maybe I’ll get those jeans too!

    1. Jennifer

      When is yours coming? I hope you get them!

  11. Tina

    Not until May 1st. I will make a note and see if I can request them. They sell these jeans at Nordstrom so if you can get 20 percent off that’s a great deal!

  12. Tina

    Btw, I love your entire box! Your stylist did great!!

    1. Jennifer

      She dud awesome!

  13. Olivia

    I’m thinking about subscribing to Stitch Fix… May I ask what price range you selected on your profile? If that is too personal, that is totally fine 🙂 I am just wondering, since you do show the prices on your reviews, if the budget I would choose would get me the same price range as yours or cheaper… Thanks for all your reviews! If I can afford the clothes that come in a Fix, I definitely want to do it!!

    1. Jennifer

      Here is what i did:

      Accessories $200+
      Bottoms $150-$200
      Dresses The Cheaper the Better
      Jewelry $50 – $100
      Outer Layers $150-$200
      Tops $150 – $200

      Hope this helps!

      1. Olivia

        Thank you! That helps a lot!
