Stitch Fix
I posted a while back that I am not the expert when it comes to fashion.  Getting dressed for date night stresses me out since I am more on the conservative side and buy so many items for work.  I was at dinner one night and joked with the ladies about my post and how my closet brings me stress – not due to organization(I have that covered) but because I have outdated and boring clothes.  Luckily, I was sitting with my friend Julie who uses Stitch Fix and with Jessica who is a Stitch Fix stylist.  I think based on the opinion of the ladies below, I need to sign up ASAP.

“I used to love to shop but life got in the way with two kids, a dog, a cat, a beta fish (what was I thinking!), and both me and my husband working full-time.  I don’t have the time or desire anymore to go to the mall and peruse for hours much less keep up with the current trends.  I thought I’d give Stitch Fix a try based on a friends recommendation.  I didn’t have really high hopes but thought what do I have to lose as you can return everything if you don’t like it.  I filled out the form which asks you many questions trying to get an understanding of your style.  I put in a few requests in the note section about wanting a bathing suit cover up for an upcoming beach trip, some shirts to wear with shorts, and some cute tops to wear for work.  When I got my first Fix it was really fun to get a box of goodies to try on.  I felt like a kid at Christmas time as its rare these days to get fun mail and not a bill to pay!  You get five items in a Fix and I was really pleasantly surprised that I liked all but one.  I did get a really cute tunic that can be worn as a bathing suit cover up and also a shirt.  I got two cute shirts to wear with shorts and one really unique top to wear to work.  The only item I didn’t keep was a maxi dress that I actually liked but just didn’t fit me right.  All in all I would recommend Stitch Fix!  It’s a huge time saver for a busy mom who doesn’t have time to shop and keep up with trends anymore.”

“I have had success –  maybe a little too much!  I think it depends on how much time you put in to setting up your profile and how much info you give them when you reject something. I really need Stitch Fix because I have NO TIME to shop but I have to look put together for work. My body has also changed over the years so I was really specific on my needs.  The other thing is the more you do it, the better it gets because the stylist gets to know you.  It’s totally addictive. Originally I didn’t sign up for a recurring order but I think I will to receive a monthly box.  I love to freshen up my wardrobe options.”

“As a working mom of two young kids, I don’t have time to shop for clothes! I do love fashion and keeping up with trends.  But after having kids, I no longer have the luxury to spend hours shopping, reading magazines and looking online. Stitch Fix is my answer! Each month I get 5 fabulous items that are tailored to my budget and style. It is up to you to decide, how often you receive a fix! I love it and I would highly recommend it to anyone.”
