My StitchFix-#1

So recently I discovered StitchFix, thanks to Kinder-craze. You can find her post here. Basically, it's an amazing service that allows someone to shop for you, send you items to try on in your own home, and keep or send back items you choose. You pay $20 as a styling fee each month, but if you buy any items at all, that money is taken out of your total cost. You fill out a taste profile, and can even connect the stylist to your Pinterest account and set up a board specifically for them to use as inspiration. You receive five items each month. These items are based on the sizes, styles, needs, colors, and cost that you entered in the taste profile. The box comes with a letter from your stylist, the items, cards for each item on how to style it, and a UPS bag for free returns. After you have tried them on and made your decisions, you can pay for them through your account or send them back. Added bonus, if you buy all the items from the box you save an additional 25% off your order. Of course, this can also be explained on their website here.

Now for me, I have my own reasons why I love StitchFix:
1. First of all, I am a horrible shopper. I hate trying on clothes all day, especially when they aren't even the right size anyway.
2. I can never visualize how I would wear the thing, so I put back so many great items that I realize only later were in fact great.
3. I never take the time to look through racks or stores to find what is good, I definitely judge a store by the 2 outfits on the mannequins in the window.
4. I want to be more adventurous with my clothing, but am not always sure how to do so.

So, with all that in mind, I signed up for my first box in February! I was so very pleased with what I got.

Here's the letter from the stylist explaining why she chose what she chose.

I just love opening boxes, look how pretty it is!

Here are my things from February:

I will say, I sent back a black shirt that I thought would be too low for anything I would use it for. And I sent back a brown bag that I wasn't in love with. But here's what I kept, and how I styled it.(with my own clothes, from my own closet, in my own room!)

I loved how this jacket fit, especially with an adjustable waist.

I was so surprised how well these jeans fit! They are a great, flexible color as well.

This was my favorite!! I love the versatility of gray/black. The sleeve length is perfect. And for me, the best thing is how the shirt falls at my hips. It is a flattering fit for me, and I was so thankful for the opportunity to find that out.

Also, for fun, here's all three items I kept from my February box.

I loved my box so much, I immediately signed up to receive another! Like I said, this was my February box, so I will try and hopefully will be much faster with adding my March box for you all to see.
