I hopped on the Stitch Fix bandwagon the other day when The Humbled Homemaker posted a $75 code good for your first fix. I figured that should cover at least one item and surely they could pick one thing that I would like, right? I filled out the form – made sure to specify that I live in Florida and don’t wear a lot of cool weather clothes (probably my first mistake was doing this while most of the country is still in the middle of winter!).
First up is a lightweight cardigan. It’s navy which I like, but it’s a cardigan…I don’t wear sweaters much – maybe two or three weeks out of the year. I tried it on and while it kinda fit, the sleeves were really long on me and there’s no pockets (I really like having pockets!). Definitely not often enough to justify a $38 sweater.
Next is a 3/4 sleeve knit top. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw it was T-rex arms. I’m not a fan of 3/4 length sleeves – I’m either pushing them up to make them short sleeve or trying to pull them down to make them long sleeve. It’s equally awkward on me as well. The cuffs are kinda tight and if I try to reach for something, the shirt pulls oddly. Either way, it’s not worth $38 to me.
Next was this cute cold shoulder top. I think I like it (I tried it on and I’m not sure about the cold shoulder style) and it might be worth the $34, but then I remembered that I have a pattern to make a shirt just like this!
I really like the twist in the sleeve hem. I think I’ll have to print the pattern and make myself one!
These distressed boyfriend jeans were such a disappointment! I specifically said I wouldn’t wear anything distressed – I don’t want holes in my brand new clothes!
I really wanted a decent pair of shorts or capris, but again I’m guessing that my timing was off since it’s still winter in most of the country. However, I did mention in my style comments that I live in FL and was looking for shorts & T’s.
Did I mention I was disappointed? I have a hard time buying ready-to-wear shorts/capris that fit me well. I was really hoping for a pair.
Then, there were these shoes! At first I was a little bummed that they sent me shoes…I really wanted clothes, but then I tried them on and they’re actually comfy. I’ve been looking for a new pair of sneakers that I can wear to work and these will fit the bill. Totally worth the $79! Of course, I’ll only actually pay $4 because I’ll use my $75 credit. Pretty good deal if you ask me!
If I had liked everything, there’s a 25% buy all discount plus my $75 credit which would’ve made my total $110.25. That’s a pretty sweet deal…if I liked everything. I did comment on everything they sent me and expressed my disappointment in my stylist. I felt like she didn’t actually read what I wrote and just sent a “standard” first box.
