Stitch Fix is a monthly clothing and styling subscription service. When you sign up you take a pretty in-depth survey of your sizes, your style, and pricing preferences. After choosing when you'd like to receive your delivery, your stylist handpicks 5 items based on your preferences. The fee for this service is $20, and that includes free shipping and free returns. And if you keep any of the items they send you, you get to deduct the $20 fee from the total. (If you keep all five items, you also get a 25% discount!)
My items are reflective of my style and price preferences, so your Stitch Fix may be completely different!
My Subscription Addiction paid for this box. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes).

Stitch Fix for Women December 2018 Review
This is the invoice that was sent in the box. As you can see, it provides specifics on the brand, size, and price of each item. They also give instructions at the bottom for how to check out and either purchase or return your items. My total came to $283, but with the 25% off (which they take off BEFORE deducting the $20!) and the $20 credit, my total drops down to $192.25. That’s a savings of $90.75 on these items.
This is my style sheet that includes a note from my stylist and features the five items I received along with different outfit suggestions and accessories that might pair well with them.
Alberta Lace Up Back Knit Top by Pink Clover, Size L - Cost to Keep $44 (Return)
I was pretty indifferent to this shirt. I love the color, but the front is just very basic and the lacing in the back isn't really my style. I might have been able to overlook that though if the front had been more flattering. The fit was okay, but a bit tighter on my stomach than I'd prefer. The material was somewhat thin and lightweight and similar to a cotton tee.
Francie Back Detail Pullover by Eight 18, Size L - Cost to Keep $44 (Return)
I loved this sweater! The stripes coupled with the thicker cuffs and neckline were so cute and the sweater was nice and soft. It was really comfortable and even had that really fun detail on the back which was very cool in the way it was interwoven, but I was just too self-conscious to wear this. It gapped so much on me at the back that it didn't feel flattering, but instead, I just felt like I was busting out of it and the fun design of the shirt got lost. I might have considered sizing up, but I really liked the fit in the front so I wasn't sure that would help. I wore it with a gray cami here so you could see the details, but even with a black one underneath, it still didn't look right. So sad!
Leilani Comfort Pull-On Skinny Jeans by JEN7, Size 12 - Cost to Keep $99 (Return)
My stylist mentioned that these were outside my budget, but she chose them due to the fact that they were pull-on jeans that would be flattering. I think she was right, the wash is nice and they were very comfortable (more pictures below), but they were definitely not worth that high price tag for me. I am not ready to splurge on jeans when I'm still trying to get back in shape after baby number three. Which is ironic, because he is the part of the reason I need high-waisted pull-on jeans like these!
Dulce Sleeveless Knit Top by Emory Park, Size L - Cost to Keep $28 (Return)
In her note, my stylist mentioned that this top should be nursing friendly and I just don't see how. There was no real give in the neckline and even if there were, those cross straps would have been in the way. So I'm wondering if maybe there was a different top I was supposed to receive? It was a nice, soft shirt and I liked it more than I thought I would, but I don't need a sleeveless top at the moment.
Ladera Open Cardigan by Evolution by Cyrus, size L - Cost to Keep $68 (Return)
This cardigan was nice and soft with some stretch to it. I liked the pockets and the length, but there was something about the material that I didn't like. It just felt like it was already fading in spots and although the camera definitely shows it a lot more than what I noticed in person, it just seemed like a lot of areas of discoloration for a new sweater. That huge area on the back wasn't really noticeable when I held it in hand, so I think some of it has to do with the light since it has a little bit of that stretchy viscose in it.
Here's a closeup of the sweater.
The Verdict: You may remember that I was not so happy with my Stitch Fix from last month so this month I received a new stylist. While nothing completely worked for me this time, I think that it was more my style, and thank goodness, there were finally no red pieces! I feel like it's hard for a stylist to nail your preferences on the first Fix so I'm going to chalk this one up to the fact that she may still be getting to know my style and hope that based on my feedback, my next Fix will be even better. I do still enjoy the convenience of this service, especially right now when it's winter and I'm in hibernation mode and totally avoiding the crowded stores!
