Stitch Fix #4 & #5 Reviews

I'm super behind on reviewing my Stitch Fix boxes, so here are two at once. [If you do not yet know what Stitch Fix is, please read my very first review here.]

Stitch Fix #4

Kut from the Kloth Denna Skinny Jean - $78

These jeans were too big. Apparently this is very common for this brand. They're also too long, so I decided to add in my exact inseam to my profile to better help my stylist pick pants for me in the future. RETURNED

Market and Spruce Pablo V-Neck Blouse - $58

I requested to try a mustard colored top and this shirt definitely confirmed everything I knew about all forms of yellow looking horrendous against my skin tone. I liked the fit and design of this shirt, but it looked truly awful on me. RETURNED

Skies are Blue Caspian Scallop Trim Cardigan - $68

I also requested a cardigan in this fix and love this one, however, my sister-in-law has this exact one (apparently I convinced her to keep it) and she lives with us, therefore I have access to it already (she's really nice and has an open closet policy). It didn't make sense to purchase this. (Spoiler: I didn't keep anything, therefore sold this to recoup my styling fee.) SOLD

Laila Jayde Willson Cowl Neck Knit Top - $58

I hated this when I peeked at my box, and I still hate this top. It is extremely unflattering on me. (I'm cringing posting these pictures.) If a super thin, boring shirt is going to cost $58, it better make me feel/look amazing and this did the complete opposite.

41Hawthorn Reid Lace Detail Blouse - $68

I really liked this top. It was flattering and black is my go-to, so I was definitely drawn to this shirt. The downside was the fit. It looks like it fits well, but I couldn't move my arms. The shoulders were much too snug, making it extremely uncomfortable and impossible to justify purchasing. RETURNED

Again, I didn't keep anything this fix, but I'm still enjoying the service and haven't lost any money doing it (because I've sold at least one item in both fixes I didn't keep anything to get my $20 styling fee back). If you're discouraged by this fix and the last, READ ON!

Stitch Fix #5

I peeked as soon as I got my shipping confirmation and was soo excited about the items my stylist picked for me in this fix. Here they are:

Just Black Jimmy Skinny Jeans - $88 ($66 with discount)

I have received a lot of very nice jeans from Stitch Fix. The price points are much higher than I typically (or ever) pay for jeans, but I have to admit, they feel much nicer too. The biggest issue so far has been length. I've learned my legs must be much shorter than is normal for my height. I measured my inseam and noted this on my profile page, stating the length I would need for skinnies versus the length needed for bootcut or flares (they're back!). I am so thankful I did that because my stylist read it and was able to find these jeans, which are technically ankle length, but that means perfect for me! I love the dark wash of these and the fit is perfection. I've washed (and dried) them several times now and the color hasn't faded at all and they've kept their shape. I LOVE these jeans! KEPT

Market & Spuce Colibri Plaid Printed Tab-Sleeve Shirt - $48 ($36 with discount)

I have two plaid shirts currently pinned on my Pinterest style board, so I'm glad to know my stylist is paying attention. I love the look of plaid shirts (although a tad picky on the color combination), but own zero (until now). This one is super lightweight, which is great for FL fall since it's not cold and extremely soft. I like that the sleeves can be 3/4 length or rolled and buttoned with the tab right above the elbow (hence the tab-sleeve part of the name). My only hesitation with this shirt is when I button the top button, it gaps. An easy fix is to wear a tank underneath and leave it unbuttoned (as shown). I also read of one lady stitching between the two buttons to prevent the gaping, so that could be an option as well. KEPT

Gilli Kamile Jersey Ruched Detail Dress - $54 ($40.50 with discount)

I have this dress pinned (in green), so I was thrilled to receive it. The cut is pretty universally flattering (the scoop neck is great for those of us needing to contain a larger chest without showing cleavage and the rouching is perfect for hiding my post-baby pudge). The length is perfect for wearing with boots, flats or wedges. The purple is a good color for me, so this dress was an all-around win. KEPT

Pixley Martina Slub Knit Open Cardigan - $48 ($36 with discount)

I'm not sure who decided the name of this should include the word slub, but that doesn't have a nice ring to me. Regardless, I love the Pixley brand and the price of this cardigan (for Stitch Fix items, that is). I do wish it was any color other than black, not because I don't like black, but because I already own two black cardigans. Neither one is open front or as long as this one or as soft. I probably wouldn't have kept this if I wasn't going to already keep everything else (spoiler, sorry), but with the 25% off discount, it was cheaper to keep than return. Plus, I WILL wear it (already have). KEPT

Street Level Demi Fold Over Vegan Leather Crossbody Bag - $48 ($36 with discount)

I've gone back and forth checking and unchecking whether I want to receive bags/purses from Stitch Fix. I'm a one bag at a time kind of girl, but my current purse's straps are starting to fall apart. (This is a common problem I have -- the rest of the purse is in perfect shape, but the straps peel apart. What am I doing wrong?) I have zero desire to spend time moving things from purse to purse depending on my outfit, therefore, any bag I carry needs to be able to match anything. (My current purse is silver.) This color (they call it red) doesn't do that. For a smaller purse, it can surprisingly hold a lot, which I appreciate. It has a TON of pockets and is overall cute, but I decided that I wouldn't be able to use it on a daily basis, so I decided to sell it. SOLD (for full price, but I covered the shipping, so more like $42 -- still more than the discounted price)

This fix was a total win for me! I got to keep all (kind of) items and get the amazing 25% off discount, making everything much more reasonably priced. I should tell you that I specified in my note to my stylist that I wanted the total fix to be under the $200 and she listened! (Technically, with my $20 styling fee, it's over $200, but I still appreciate it!)

*In reality, I spent $172.50 in total on this fix because of selling the purse.
