It's a really cool premise - you fill out a questionnaire with what types/styles of clothing you like, preferences for what they send you, and rate pictures of outfits based on whether you love/hate them. Then, you pick a date, and they send you 5 items!
I was excited to get mine this week, when I had requested, since I could get some new pieces possibly for the summer, perhaps to wear to my 5-year college reunion which is coming up this weekend.
When I opened the package, I first took everything out and looked it all over. I was happy to see some cute pieces... however, I wasn't quite as impressed with the prices. I feel like for what they ask for a lot of the pieces, I could find something equivalent for much cheaper at TJMaxx. I mean... everything was definitely cute and my style, I'll give them that. But - I feel like it was all stuff that I might pick for myself. (For cheaper.) Maybe I should have filled out my questionnaire differently, that I wanted styles that were more different from things that I already have.
Then again, A reminded me - the point of all this is that you DON'T have to go to TJMaxx in order to get these things, it's the convenience of having cute things delivered straight to you. So there's that. It was definitely really fun to have that box with a surprise in the mail!
It was still super fun to get the package and new surprises in the mail, that's for sure. I decided to look everything over and give it a try. Since I don't have a full-length mirror, I requested that my trusty assistant (boyfriend) take some pics so I could see how it all looked.
The first pieces I tried on were a long gold circle pendant, and dark wash skinny jeans. The Stitch Fix "stylist" told me that she saw similar necklaces on my Pinterest - so true. And the jeans, although basic, are a classic piece and go with everything.
The jeans just fit like a dream. I didn't want to love them, since they were the most expensive piece I was sent ($88) - but I totally loved them. A liked that they were tight. They also have a little stretch, which would be nice for work and moving around a lot with the kiddos there. I also loved the necklace, another piece that can go with a lot, and would look really cute layered.
The next piece that I tried on was a split neck patterned top. I loved the style and the pattern, and could wear it to work or with shorts on the weekends. However, I waffled back and forth on whether to keep it or not due to the price - $65.
I also was sent another top, a sheer polka dot blue blouse, with a cami that goes underneath. I loved the style, but felt that it was a little too short on me. Also, for the price ($68) it was hard to justify keeping it.
Finally, they sent a dress. It wasn't my favorite style, with stripes, but I thought it could be cute on. It fit really well, but when I saw the pictures of myself, I felt like it gave me the illusion of a little belly where I don't really have one. I did like the view from the side. At $54, it was the cheapest piece that they sent me, but I didn't love it.
So, all in all, I ended up keeping the jeans and the necklace. The blouses I just couldn't justify for the amount that they wanted for them, but it was so much fun getting them and trying them on. I was amazed that everything fit, and loved the personal styling aspect of getting my "Fix" in the mail. :)
If you want to try it, use my link, and I can get $25 credit! Get yo fix here.
Not that I've given it the most rousing recommendation or anything... but it was definitely very fun. I *may* try it again!
What do you think?
Would you have kept the same pieces that I did?
Gonna try it? :)
