Stitch Fix October 2016 Subscription Box ReviewStitch Fix is a personal styling service for women. With Stitch Fix, you provide your style, size (they also do maternity fixes), and budget preferences, and they will send you a package of stylish goodies to try on at home. You only pay for the items you love and decide to keep. There is a $20 styling fee which 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. If you keep all of the pieces, you get a 25% discount on everything!  Stitch Fix is now offering exchanges for sizing as well. 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.

I have a bad habit of leaving my “Stylist Notes” section blank on my Stitch Fix account.  I just let them go with it on my fixes and pick out whatever they think would work.  I did, however, put a link to my Stitch Fix blog reviews in my notes, which I think helps my Stylist.

img_6319-001My October 2016 Stitch Fix included the following pieces:

~Market & Spruce Sejano Suede Detail Knit Top ($64): I was certain I was going to hate this when I saw that it had “suede detail), but I’m in love.  The suede detail is buttery and not the rigid suede I was expecting.  The cut is also perfect, and I love the color.  It’s totally me. Verdict: Keep.

~Look by M Sammie Plaid Infinity Scarf ($34): Unlike a few of the other plaid scarves I have received this season, this one is standard sized – it’s not a blanket scarf.  Happily, it doesn’t “shed” and I didn’t end up with fuzzies all over my shirt after I had it on. I need to go through my closet and check out the plaid scarf situation, but I don’t think I have another plaid like this. Verdict – Keep (I think)

~MTLA Kristin Fleece Legging ($44): I have never owned fleece leggings before!  Sadly I won’t be owning these either because they were a little snug.  I think if they were black I could get away with it, but not with this wine color.  They are incredibly soft inside though and they are also very “me”. Verdict: Returned (Sadly)

~41Hawthorn Kiwi Cocoon Cardigan ($78): My goodness I love this too.  Cardigans and leggings are everything to me.  This one is a great length (it covers my butt), and screams fall to me. I wish the price point were a tad lower, though. Verdict: Undecided.

~RD Style Wilkes Colorblocked Raglan Sweater ($58): This is the only piece from my fix this month that I didn’t like.  I found the color blocking to be an odd pattern and the material just wasn’t me.  I’m also not a fan of sweaters with almost a boatneck neckline. They just don’t work on me. Verdict: Returned.

If I keep everything in the box, it will be $188.50 (plus the $20 styling fee I already paid), which works out to about $38/piece. I’m not going to keep everything, but I think Kate (my Stylist) has been nailing my fixes lately.  I’m super happy with what I have been receiving!

    That cardigan is gorgeous – you should keep it!

    1. Jennifer

      I do love it. Maybe I should keep that instead of the shirt………

  2. Lin

    I love the cardigan. It looks like a great piece for fall. Have you thought about posting pictures with you wearing the pieces rather then on hangers? It’s hard to tell the fit, and in the case of the blue shirt, what we are looking at. Just a thought.

    1. Jennifer

      Oh I have thought about it. I feel uncomfortable / awkward. Maybe one day!

  3. Sophie

    Have you thought about posting pictures of you (or someone else) wearing the clothes to get a better idea of how they look and fit like they do on MSA?

    1. Jennifer

      Yeah, I mentioned it above. I feel uncomfortable doing it myself, but my SIL is going to take pictures of her next FIX for me.

    2. Jennifer

      Unrelated, but are you in the Stitch Fix FB Group? They all take great “modeling” pictures and it’s super active!

    I did stitchfix. The stylists did NOT even read my notes or they ignored them. The clothes were cute, but sometimes the quality was marginal.
