Today I wanted to share with you guys a company that I've been using for a while now. About a month ago I won a pretty awesome giveaway on Fitnessista's blog. The prize was a $500 gift card to Stitch Fix. It is by far the coolest thing I've ever won.
The way Stitch Fix works is pretty simple. You go to their website and fill out an extensive style profile. This includes your clothing likes/dislikes, body type, price range, etc. You then schedule a fix. Each fix costs $20 and will contain five clothing/accessory items. The $20 styling fee is credited towards whatever you buy in your fix. Whatever you don't want you return in the prepaid envelope enclosed in the box. If you don't keep anything you lose your $20 styling fee. If you keep everything you get a 25% discount on all the clothes. You let them know what you're keeping and returning and give feedback on everything for your next fix by going back to the website. Although Stitch Fix is still in beta the website runs smoothly and is super easy to understand.
I said I have been using Stitch Fix for a while and that is because today I got my third fix. I was so excited to share them all with you, but the first two fixes were absolute busts. (The pictures above are from previous fixes.) Either the coloring didn't work with my skin tone or things just weren't my style. I'm a pretty classic kind of girl, I was honestly surprised it was so hard for them to nail down my style. Gina always has such cute stuff in her boxes! We're still not totally there with my box but I think it's much better. I thought it would be fun if you guys would help me decide which items, if any, to keep from this fix. While it has been frustrating not keeping anything so far, it's so fun to look forward to what I'm going to get to receive. I also figured I would rather it take a few boxes for them to nail down my style and then have a continuous flow of good boxes. I've been looking around on Pinterest and Stitch Fix sends out some seriously cute clothes! Access to Stitch Fix is by invitation only right now.

1. First up is the Peppermint Lucie Chevron Print Skirt for $48. I love chevron print and the price can't be beat but the length is a little too long for how informal the print is. I'm tempted to have it hemmed but I don't know if there's just too much fabric in general.
2. Up next is the Mak B Melbourne Rugby Stripe Cotton Cardigan for $48. I normally stay away from wide stripes but I actually like this. The only bummer is the bottom button already fell off when I was trying it on. I could sew it back on pretty easily but I'm not really liking the idea of paying $48 for something I already have to fix.
3. I was also sent the Costa Blanca Joel Side Zipper Capri Pant for $42. I appreciate them trying something a little different. These are fun pants and they're so comfy. I unfortunately don't think they're very flattering from seeing this photo. Also, what you can't see in this photo is how they are cheaply made. One of the belt loops is starting to come undone at the seams and there's loose threads. While I love the low prices of the items they sent me I'm not sure why I got them as I selected the $100-$150 price range for my items. Since this was a free gift card I won I was looking to invest in some quality pieces that will last me for a long time.
4. Up next is the Tart Alec Solid Side Gathered Tank for $78. I love blues and I love side gathered tops and dresses. I don't know that this is my favorite side gathered top but I think it could be nice for work with a nice cardigan over it.
5. Lastly is the Max and Cleo Williams Geo Print Faux Wrap Dress for $128. I really like the quality of this dress, it is lined and feels really nice to wear. I also think the pattern is kind of fun. I would like more work appropriate dresses but am worried the hem is a little too short for an office setting.
And that is my Stitch Fix box!
