Stitch Fix Review: I May Never Go Shopping Again!

Does Stitch Fix get better with time? It has for me. Just look at the photos.

When you schedule a Fix, you get to write a little note to your stylist. Here's what I wrote to Margaret when I requested Stitch Fix #5:

"For this Fix, I'd like to add some pattern and texture to my wardrobe. I need clothes that can transition to Fall, remembering that I live in a very hot climate. I'd also love a super-long necklace."

Looking in my closet, I was seeing a sea of solids! For this Fix, I wanted Stitch Fix to shake it up a little -- sending clothes with texture and pattern that wouldn't look silly on 51-year-old me.

By this point, Stitch Fix has a lot of info about me. First, there's my style profile. Then, there are my previous four Fixes. Stitch Fix knows what I bought and what I sent back. Each time I checked out online, I left very specific feedback. Stitch Fix knows what fit and what didn't, what I loved and what I hated. By now, styling me should be getting a whole lot easier.

5. Hendrick Colorful Loose Knit Tank by Kensie

I've continued to update my style profile after each Fix as well. Back in the beginning, when I wrote to Stitch Fix about myself on my profile, I went on and on about being 51 and a blogger and a stay-at-home mom and a homeschooler. Like my stylist (who's probably in her 20's) was supposed to take a stab at what kind of style would work for a 51-year-old, homeschooling blogger. As a result, my first two fixes were kind of blah. Out of the first 10 items they sent, I only bought one.

Now, my profile is brutally honest and very specific. Here's exactly what it says.

*Apple shaped, mommy middle. No clingy fabric at waist.

*Long waisted

*Only long/maxi dresses. 

*No critter or novelty prints. 

*No Dry Clean Only, except jackets. 

*See my Pinterest 

Color Loves: Black/white/gray, cream/chocolate, pink/coral/red, chartreuse, pale yellow.

Trends I like: High-Low tops, maxis, polka dots, chambray, crochet, cardigans

As you may have already guessed, this was the Fix where I purchased all 5 items. As promised, Stitch Fix took 25% off my total for buying the whole box. When I combined this discount with the referral credit I'd earned, this was a very affordable way to add 5 unique pieces to my wardrobe for Fall.

Stitch Fix is working for me. I may never go shopping again!

So what do you think? What's your favorite item from this Stitch Fix?
