Create Your Own “Stitch Fix” – September Edition

And just like that it’s September! Although I’m sad to see summer go, I’m excited for Fall fashion which brings us to this month’s “create your own stitch fix!” As you may know, I love Stitch Fix but feel their pricing can be more affordable. So, each month I find 5 items to create a “fix” with all Stitch Fix brands at lower prices. If you’ve missed my previous “create your own stitch fix” posts, you can read the latest one here.

Since Fall is just around the corner, I wanted to create two “fixes” focusing around Fall friendly outfits.

For this first “fix”, pair the Vigoss skinny jeans with the Kut from the Kloth striped top and layer the Daniel Rainn vest over the top. Complete the look with the cognac Nine West booties and Urban expressions cross-body bag and you’ll be all set for Fall!

Stitch Fix Review – Summer 2017

This is technically my July Stitch Fix but I am just getting around to this review now. #oops. My regular stylist left last month so, I’ve had Katie for these past two fixes and she’s been great! I didn’t leave her anything in my note besides “surprise me!”

In case you’re not familiar with Stitch Fix, here’s a quick rundown:

1. As soon as you sign up, you fill out a quick style profile with your preferred styles and measurements. It helps if you have a pinterest board linked so your stylist can see all of the pretty clothes you have pinned.

2. Schedule your first fix here (This is my referral link…if you use this link, I will get a small credit.) You will be charged a $20.00 styling fee, however this fee gets used towards anything you purchase. For example, if you keep a $48.00 shirt, an additional $28.00 will be charged to your card.

3. Five days within your scheduled fix date, a pretty little box will arrive with 5 items (clothing, scarves, jewelery, handbags, and now SHOES!) You can pick which items you would like on your profile, so if for example, you don’t want shoes, you won’t get shoes.

4. After you’ve tried on all your goodies, you have 3 days to decide what to keep. Log on to your stitchfix account and checkout. Return the items you didn’t keep in the pre-paid envelope. Then order your next fix and so on and so forth!

Vero Moda Top, Just Black Adorra Jeans, and Toms Lenox Sneakers

Top – Vero Modo Zeena Off the Shoulder Top – $36 (size XS)
Jeans – Just Black Adorra Skinny Jeans – $88 (size 26p)
Sneakers – Toms Lenox Sneakers – $69 (size 6). If you are interested in purchasing these, they are available here.

STATUS: I sadly returned these items. I wanted to love the jeans and sneakers but I just don’t think they looked right on me. The jeans were still too long even with them being petite but the color was gorgeous!

Froxx Beatrice Cold Shoulder Top

Top: Froxx Beatrice Cold Shoulder Top – $36 (size xs)
Jeans: Similar
Shoes: Vince Camuto Tarita

STATUS: Winner, winner chicken dinner. This top was a gorgeous color and stayed pretty well as an off the shoulder top. Obvious keeper.

Papermoon Yancie Split Neck Lace Detail Knit Top

Top: Papermoon Yancie Top – $44 (size xs)
Jeans: Just Black Adorra Skinny Jeans
Booties

STATUS: I sadly returned this top too simply for budgetry reasons. I told myself I was only going to keep one thing this fix and the off the shoulder top was the clear winner!

Stitch Fix On A Budget (Create Your Own Fix – August Edition)

Welcome to another addition of “create your own stitch fix!” In case you missed my July edition, you can check it out here. As you may or may not know, I am in love with Stitch Fix but feel sometimes their pricing could be better. If you’re unsure what Stitch Fix is, check out my last review here. Every month, I like to challenge myself to create outfits using all Stitch Fix pieces at a fraction of the cost. I always feel that August is an awkward time of year because I never know if I should keep buying summer clothes or start transitioning to fall. Since I couldn’t decide, I created a “summer fix” and a “fall fix.” Now, let’s get to it!

For this summer fix, I wanted to focus on brigh colors. Pair the Everly fuschia dress with the Nine West gladiator sandals and Gorjana teal bracelet for an extra dose of color.

Everly Fuschia Dress – $44.00

Kensie Pom Pom Shorts – $19.93

Stitch Fix Review – June

This month’s Stitch Fix started off with a very sad note. I learned that my favorite stylist, Jojo is no longer with the company. *sniff sniff. I was given a new stylist who did a pretty good job filling some big shoes. I didn’t ask for anything specifically and feel like I get the best fixes when I leave it up to the stylists.

In case you’re not familiar with Stitch Fix, here’s a quick rundown:

1. As soon as you sign up, you fill out a quick style profile with your preferred styles and measurements. It helps if you have a pinterest board linked so your stylist can see all of the pretty clothes you have pinned.

2. Schedule your first fix here (This is my referral link…if you use this link, I will get a small credit.) You will be charged a $20.00 styling fee, however this fee gets used towards anything you purchase. For example, if you keep a $48.00 shirt, an additional $28.00 will be charged to your card.

3. Five days within your scheduled fix date, a pretty little box will arrive with 5 items (clothing, scarves, jewelery, handbags, and now SHOES!) You can pick which items you would like on your profile, so if for example, you don’t want shoes, you won’t get shoes.

4. After you’ve tried on all your goodies, you have 3 days to decide what to keep. Log on to your stitchfix account and checkout. Return the items you didn’t keep in the pre-paid envelope. Then order your next fix and so on and so forth!

Skies are Blue Krystine Layered Tank Top – Size XS ($44)

(Jeans, Shoes)

This tank top was probably my favorite piece in the bunch. It can be easily dressed up with a black blazer for work or some fun heels for a night out.

VERDIT: Kept

Skies are Blue Swanley Knit Tank – Size XS ($38)

(Shorts)

Man, did I want this top to work! I figured it was a perfect 4th of July look with my red shorts and white sandals. Unfortunately, it was just too big on me and didn’t look right.

VERDICT: Returned

Market & Spruce Sam Hi-Lo Short Sleeve Tee – Size XS ($38) &
STS Blue Neve Fray Hem Distressed Skinny Jean Size 2 ($48)

(Sneakers)

This shirt is probably the softest shirt I have ever felt! However, I already own the same shirt in gray that I bought off the Stitch Fix board. So, sadly I said buh-bye to this softie.

The jeans were also a bit too distressed for my liking. I’m all for a good distressed pair of jeans but this pair looked like the jeans I wore when I was a kid after I’d fall and skin my knee.

VERDICT: Both Returned

Nine Britton Frankelyn Open Back Knit Top ($46)

I’m usually a sucker for a good dolman top and I loved how this one showcases my tinkerbell tattoo but I couldn’t bring myself to spend $46 on a long sleeved top in the summertime. I think I’m going to regret sending this one back.

VERDICT: Returned

The total price of this box was $214.00 or $160.50 if I kept all 5 pieces for the 25% off discount. I think my new stylist did a fantastic job at keeping this affordable without sacrificing quality.

What do you think? Did I keep the right pieces?

Create Your Own Stitch Fix (using Stitch Fix brands on a budget!)

After the success of my last “create your own Stitch Fix”, I thought it would be fun to do another one for June. If you aren’t sure what Stitch Fix is or haven’t tried them yet, check out my latest review here. I challenged myself again to only include Stitch Fix brands but at lower prices. If you are familiar with Stitch Fix, you know that each fix contains 5 items and a note. I again created two different “fixes.” With the warmer weather approaching, I created these “fixes” with summer in mind. Allright, let’s get on to the clothes!

For this first “fix” , I wanted to create the perfect summer look. Layer the Kensie kimono over the Lush side split tank and pair it with the Kut from the Kloth shorts, Kensie necklace, and Nine West sandals! Best part about this fix, is that the entire outfit is less than $104!

Kensie Necklace ($9.59)
Kensie Kimono ($14.97)
Lush Side Split Tank ($20.40)
Nine West Sandals ($23.98)
Kut from the Kloth Shorts ($34.97)

This next “fix” focuses around a couple outfits you can make with this pair of Lucky Brand white capris. Pair the capris with the Lucky Brand crochet top and add the Nine West wedges to complete the look. For date night, swap out the crochet top for the Kensie Cold Shoulder top, add a pair of black heels (from your closet) and the Nine West studded bag to create the perfect sexy date night outfit.

Lucky Brand Crochet Top ($22.31)
Lucky Brand Capris ($47.99 w/ code SUMMER)
