My first Stitchfix

I’m going to be annoying just like every other blogger who’s done it by saying…

STITCHFIX IS REALLY AWESOME. Especially as a mom.

I used to make (free) appointments with the personal stylist at Bloomingdale’s or Nordstrom who would pull lots of outfits and accessories for me. I’d then spend a few hours trying on clothes in my price range before picking a couple of pieces to buy. As a mom I have no time for that nonsense but I still want to look good. I’ve officially gone through 2 years of dressing like garbage, as in I’m still wearing the same pair of DKNY track pants I bought in 2008 and the same faded black Express leggings from 2005. I’m over it.

I make some time for myself but I choose to spend it coloring my gray hair or working out or having dinner with friends. I was out with Leslie one day when she insisted I try Stitchfix. I used her referral code, signed up for my first fix, and got it today.

I’m now hooked. I loved all 5 pieces. I kept 2 out of 5 which I think is great for my first fix. The 3 I didn’t keep were a shirt (a bit too boxy but I loved the pattern), leggings (felt so soft and nice but were too short for my long legs) and a navy cardigan (doesn’t match my current wardrobe).

Here’s the shirt I kept:

I never would have picked it out off a rack but it fits me so well and is in a fun pattern. I also like how light the fabric is so I can wear it into spring. It was $58 which I think is reasonable for a shirt. I asked my stylist to find me shirts that work with leggings and nursing and he got it right.

And here’s the necklace I kept ($36)

And here’s the shirt I didn’t keep. It’s the Mercer Houndstooth Print Henley Blouse:

Here’s how it works: You pay $20 for your box of clothes picked out for you by a stylist. They know your sizes and style by a profile you fill out, and they know what you’re looking for because you tell them. If you keep any of the items they send you, the $20 gets applied to them. If you send everything back, you pay $20 and call it a day. You have 3 days to decide what to keep and what to send back, and they do their best to pick pieces within your budget.

I just had to share because I’m currently obsessed. I can’t believe I drank the Kool-Aid.
