Stitch Fix Review #1

So you all know that I am the farthest thing from a fashion blogger.  I still wear clothes from highschool/college, if I can fit into them that is and I think spending anything more than $19.99 on an article of clothing is an outrage.  Also, I hate shopping.  I hate wasting my time at the mall trying on items of clothing and then realizing that a) they don't fit b) I feel fat c) I could be doing something else.  I'm ready for a revamp and I want to transition out of my college days and into adulthood.  This girl needs some serious help though.  So I did what any blogger would do and I ordered my first Stitch Fix. DUHHH.
If you don't know what Stitch Fix is then I'm not sure how you can call yourself a blogger. Okay, totally kidding. :)  Essentially it's a personalized style service that gets delivered to your door.  You fill out an online questionnaire about your style, sizes, measurements and what you are looking for.  You can also link your Pinterest style board as well as your social media so they get a better understanding of you.   A REAL LIFE STYLIST, I know its actually not a computer, chooses at least 5 items and ships it right to your front door.   You pay a $20 styling fee for each box and when your box comes you can model  off your items to your boyfriend/hot lover/husband.  You keep what you like and the items you don't want to keep you just put them in the prepaid mailer that they provide and send it back. You fill out a quick online feedback form and they charge what you keep, minus the $20 styling fee.  The awesome thing is if you keep all items you get %25 off!  
So here are my thoughts:
I thought the whole process was really convenient and easy.  The packaging was fun and helpful on how the whole process worked.  I got a little note from my stylist explaining the items she picked out and why. There was even a card that had your pieces and two different ways you could style them.  I thought that was a nice touch.  

Shout out to the boyfriend for taking these awkward fashion photos.  Love you! 

Item 1:  

A coral dress with pearl beading around the neckline.  As you can see I had some fun twirling in this dress. Overall I loved the color and I liked that I had asked for items that I could wear on date nights and I could also pair this with a sweater and wear it to work.  Super versatile. In the end it was a little too baggy for my liking and I wasn't head over heels in love with it.  I decided not to keep it because this girl doesn't settle, especially when the dress is $78!

Item 2: 

Teal Chevron Maxi Skirt.  Dragon wanted to get in on the modeling action, either that or she really liked the skirt.  I'm not sure which one.  I love love love the fabric. It was soft and stretchy and looks like it would hold up well.  What I didn't like was the chevron pattern,  I mean I was never on that bandwagon nor do I want to wear it for that matter.  Especially when it will run you $68.  Even though Dragon wanted to snuggle with me wearing this I decided it wasn't a keeper.

Items 3 and 4:  

Pink Kalea Abstract Print Zip Detail Blouse and Jax Moto Detail Denim Pull on Pant by Sold Design Lab.  I like everything about the blouse by Eight Sixty.  It's fun, cute and perfect for the summer.  What I didn't like about it is that I could find something very similar from TJ Maxx or Marshalls for way less.  The shirt was priced at $78 dollars.  Yikes.  Again, I didn't keep this item.  

I know what you are thinking, Meghan did you keep anything?  Why friends yes I did.  At first glance I hated the pants.  They are skinnys, don't have pockets on the ass and have a weird texture to them.  Last I knew all of that was out of style.  But once I put them on they fit like a glove.  They are soft, stretchy and aren't like any jeans I own.  They go perfect with blouses and I can even picture some cute sweaters and boots that would look cute for the fall. The best part is they have a thick band around the top that semi sucks everything in.  "Umm, Hi pants but you are mine." These pants go for $78, which is about the priciest thing in my closet right now but the purpose of me doing this was to have nice items in my closet.  

Item 5:  (Paired with the above Jeans)

Ace Swiss Dot & Floral Tie-Waist Blouse.  THIS IS MY FAVORITE.  I love everything about this outfit.  The shirt is not like anything I've seen and that's what I was going for.  It's got a fun floral pattern with bright colors and then a dot sheer black layer that goes over it.  Its pretty much perfection in my book.  I can't wait to pair this with a wedge and go on a date night with my man. This blouse is priced at $68, which again yikes but it's totally worth it and this is by far my favorite thing in my closet right now.  

What do you think of the items I kept?

Oh and thanks for not judging my unbearably awkward pictures! 

I'm super pleased with the items my stylist Yanting (yes that's her name) chose for me and I think overall she got me.  Hopefully with my feedback I provided to her my next box will be a huge hit!  I've decided to give this a go around every other month, or as needed.  

If you feel like giving this a go like I did just go ahead and click this link Stitch Fix and it will direct you to the site to start filling out your questionnaire.  And yes if you click that link and sign up I will get credit towards my account.  So go click away so I can go shop some more! :)

Oh and I'll probably be MIA for a week because my Mom's will be arriving tonight from New York.  I cannot wait to spend some much needed family time this week with them!  HAPPY FOURTH FRIENDS!
