Stitch Fix #2

 OK, so I tried Stitch Fix again since I took Dressing Your Truth.  I made specific requests and I feel that they did take into consideration many of them.  I truly do not like to shop and I wanted to see again what they sent me.

I just love opening surprises!  It's like Christmas.  I received 5 items: 3 shirts, 1 cardigan and 1 pair of pants.  The colors were gorgeous although two of them did not follow my color card.  But thankfully, the one item I liked did!

Here is what I received.  What do you think I picked?  I chose something that I could wear with multiple things and what I really needed.  You guessed it, the cardigan.  It's the coral color.  I tried it on and fell in love.  One thing I learned from Dressing Your Truth is that you need to LOVE what you have to wear. 

I am not easy to please and I truly appreciate the time and effort that Miranda made to put together this Stitch Fix.  I was very honest with what I thought of each piece so hopefully that will help them to better style my Stitch Fix.

And since I'm not planning to shop much this summer, I scheduled my next Stitch Fix for August.

Stitch Fix Arrived and Results!

I bet you are all dying to hear about my Stitch Fix.  Well, here is what I found on my doorstep.




 And this was what was inside:





There were 3 tops, a cardigan and a scarf.  There were styling cards with each top/cardigan.

Unfortunately I didn't have someone to take pictures of me, but I only chose one item.  Can you guess what it was?  You can't see it very well in the picture, but it is the black top (pictured below).  The material is somewhat sheer, but I like that it was black and goes with everything I have and it doesn't show my figure (or lack thereof), but flatters me in a way that could be casual or dressy.




So here are my pros and cons:

PROS:
*Free shipping and return shipping
*Try on styles in the comfort of my own home
*Styling cards for ideas
*Everything did fit
*Fun surprise to see what I got
*A place online to evaluate and give suggestions for my next fix- I definitely told my likes and dislikes
*I can choose when my next fix comes
*Clearly labeled instructions and price sheet

CONS:
*Prices too high (each item was from $38-$68).  I'm a Target and Thrift Store girl (enough said)
*I didn't like everything in the box even though it fit
*Not being able to choose the clothes
*The turn around was a bit quick (3 days)

A note about pricing-
The styling fee ($20) is also a credit.  The styling fee is charged when the box is sent.  Then it is subtracted from your total.  And if I bought everything in the box I would get a 25% discount which in this box was $65.  However, I just bought one blouse and so with the styling fee credit it was only $48.  No tax, no shipping.

Over all, I thought it was a fairly fun adventure, but I wouldn't be able to do this every month.  I might try it once each season to see what styles they send me.

How about you?  Would you like to try it out?  There is no cost to set up your profile.  You will only get charged when you schedule a fix.  Sounds fair to me!    It took about a month for me to get off the waiting list, but now I am a sure customer so I can choose the dates from now on.

First Stitch Fix coming!!!

About a month ago I found this website where I can have a personal styling consultant for $20 which also applies toward credit of anything that I buy from my Stitch Fix!  Well, less than a month of being on the waiting list, I have scheduled my first Stitch Fix to arrive on Monday, Feb 25.    I am SO excited to see what they have picked out for me.  I plan to go through 2013 with a better outward appearance as well as my inward beauty!  I can't wait to share what I receive in the mail!

Frumps to Pumps Challenge (Sign Up Today) and Stitch Fix

I have had NO fashion sense ever since I became a Stay At Home Mom. I usually wear jeans and a shirt (and neither fit too well after pregnancy). I rarely fix my hair (used to curl to perfection) and I just started wearing a little bit of makeup again. Basically I feel like a FRUMP!! Can anyone relate??

One of my greatest challenges is getting dressed in the morning before my kids get up.  I am an early riser, but I also like to have quiet time, clean, get on computer and workout without interruption.  Where does taking a shower and getting dressed fit in?  Sometimes it doesn't.  It takes a back burner.  Oh, I do get my shower in, but I'm rushed and I definitely don't fix my hair.

My goal this month is to streamline my morning to include the things I like to do, but also take a good shower, put on makeup and wear clothes that say I'm not a FRUMP!

This little book Frumps to Pumps is a 20 day motivotional by Sarah Mae that is very inspiring.  Every day there is a short devotion with a challenge. I am under no illusion that I will become a fashion queen by the end of 20 days, but my goal is to make getting dressed at a proper time in the morning a habit as well as taking time to think about my appearance and make choices to reflect the beauty of the Lord that I have in my heart.
