My January 2015 Stitch Fix arrived on Christmas Eve. I totally wasn’t expecting it and I am still not sure why it’s here since I received my last one less than 3 weeks ago? My only guess is that they aren’t shipping during the Holidays and didn’t want my next Fix to be delayed? While confused, I was happy to see it, so it’s fine.

Stitch Fix is a personal styling service for women, arrived yesterday. With Stitch Fix, 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 USPS return label so you can easily ship back the pieces you aren’t interested in.

The Box

Stitch Fix ships via FedEx.  My box generally takes under a week to arrive to me and ships from San Francisco.  If you sign up for monthly Fixes, they will automatically ship every 4 weeks or so. Or less sometimes.

First Look

I took everything out of the tissue paper, I kind of glanced at it and thought, what is this mess?  It was a lot of patterns and colors and fabrics happening in there!

The Information Card

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 it all (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 $366 and had I kept everything, I would have had to pay $259.50 (plus my $20 styling fee and that includes the 25% discount you get for buying all of the pieces). Oddly enough, this was the exact same total as my December Stitch Fix.

~Octavia Alana Reversible Plaid & Houndstooth Infinity Scarf ($34): I love the houndstooth pattern and the plaid in red, navy and black is perfect.  It’s not super thick, but not super thin either.  Just a perfect everyday scarf. Verdict: Keep.

~Henry & Belle Abana Ankle Length Skinny Jeans ($148): Meh.  I like these, but I don’t $148 like them. That’s a kind of a lot (okay it’s totally a lot) for jeans I will probably end up every only every so often.  Had they been half the price I would have been tempted to keep them. But at $148?  I don’t think so.  Verdict: Return.

~Sanctuary Marlene Pullover Hooded Sweater ($78): This reminds me of a chair my Grandma used to have.  Hers was solid orange, but the material is exactly the same.  And I love it!  I am so keeping this.  I love pullover hooded sweaters like this and the pocket in the front makes it even better.  Verdict: Keep.

~RD Style Vivianna Open – Draped Knit Cardigan ($68): My love for cardigans is just as strong as my love for hoodies and this is a great one.  The print is fun and it’s nice and cozy for winter. Verdict: Kept

~Kut From the Kloth Tamara Split Neck Knit Top ($38): The fact that I have already worn this pretty much seals the fact that I am keeping it.  The material is beyond soft and it’s just a perfect black long sleeved shirt.

I love this month’s Fix!  Had those jeans not been so expensive I probably would have ended up keeping those too.  But wait.  If I keep everything, it’s going to be $259.50 because I’ll get a discount of 25% on each item for purchasing my entire Fix.  If I just keep the individual items I want, it will be $198.  So technically the jeans would “only” cost me an additional $61.50.  I may need to think about this one for a bit before I send it back!

    For the extra 61 I would totally keep the jeans. Good jeans always cost more the that and since you do like them and have already decided to keep everything else 😉 I agree that at first look this one looks a little crazy but they are all great items.

    1. theramblingjen

      You are right. I kept them!

  2. Dani

    I am tempted to try Stitch Fix actually. I am so lazy about shopping, it would probably be perfect. I will have to think on this one.

    1. theramblingjen

      You should! Are you “shopping” on my blog for stuff you want today? Make a list!

      1. Dani

        I only got to this post. lol. Distracted easily.

  3. Pique in the Box

    The prices on their clothes are astronomical – I wouldn’t be able to afford a single item, unless of course it was maybe a $5 pair of earrings!

    1. theramblingjen

      I don’t think they are too crazy. Well, except these jeans. Those were crazy! The rest is about Nordstrom average.

    2. Sneaky Burrito

      I was thinking the same thing. For $148 I could go to Macy’s during a sale and get like 4 shirts and 2 pairs of pants. I probably don’t spend $300 on clothes in an entire year.

      1. Pique in the Box

        same here… i pretty much live in tees and yoga pants, so even the $20 styling fee every month is too much for me. this isn’t one i would personally subscribe to… just too impractical for me, anyway.

  4. Becky @ Come Home to Disney

    I love that orange sweater!! I’m going to have to pin it and hope I get it!

  5. Jenn

    Are you a member of the Stitchfix facebook page for selling/buying/trading? You could perhaps try and sell the jeans there? I love Stitchfix, over the past 2 years I’ve built up a nice wardrobe of great pieces.

    1. theramblingjen

      NO! What is the link? I need this! It sounds perfect!

  6. Tara

    Can you tell me the name of your stylist? I really love yoyr fixes!

    1. theramblingjen

      This one was Hannah. I don’t get request the same one every month. I kind of just mix it up.

  7. melissa

    Here my question….When setting up your account did you select the “cheapest” clothing option or mid way? These prices I can handle but I’m wondering if I adjust mine mid way what I’ll get.

    1. theramblingjen

      Here is mine from my profile. This may explain why I always get such expensive jeans. I clearly need to change that!

    2. theramblingjen

      But I should say that other than the jeans, I usually don’t get $150 or $200 pieces. At all!

  8. Lauren Heisler

    I just received my first stitch fix, I was so excited. But, I am a bit underwhelmed with my options! Did you find as you received more boxes you liked your picks more?! I am hoping to get better options in my next box
