Stitch Fix Plus: Round 5

I got my fifth box from Stitch Fix recently, but before I get into showing everything off, I've got a few updates!

Style Pass

Last month, I got an invitation to Stitch Fix's style pass and jumped at the opportunity. Basically, you pay a one time $49 fee which waives the $20 styling fee on all fixes for a year. Just like the styling fee, the $49 is credited towards anything you keep from your fix. It's a no-brainer once you hit a good groove with your stylist. It eliminates the worry of losing $20 if you run into a fix that doesn't work for whatever reason.  

Stitch Fix Kids

You all now now that there is a fix available for men. Now, they've taken it even farther and added a box for kids! I was skeptical of this at first, but another girl shared her haul and the prices are completely appropriate for children's clothing; I noticed several pieces under $20. I don't have littles, but if you do, definitely check it out - it would be a fun thing to go through together every month or so.

Onto the fun stuff...the clothes! This month I left a note for my stylist requesting summer dresses and shorts, as well as naming a few specific SF pieces I'd seen and liked. (Apologies for the low light photos, I didn't have a chance to take them with natural light this week) Here you go:

Market & Spruce Nicky Knit Maxi Dress, $78

This was a slinky fabric, similar to some maxi skirts I own, and it had pockets! It seemed promising for a simple black maxi, but then I tried it on...and hello, cleavage! The last thing I want in summer is to have to layer up to cover the girls, so I sent this one back.

Loveapella Zaria Border Print Maxi Skirt, $48

I'd seen this maxi in other girls' fixes and fallen in love. Thankfully, this was still available in my size and seeing it in person made me love it even more with how incredibly soft it was. I wore it to work the very next day...AKA I kept this!

Liverpool Kaiden Cuffed Denim Short, $48

The length and hip fit on these were great, but as happens with most pants and shorts for me, the waist was too tight causing some icky muffin issues. I could have exchanged for a size up, but that usually results in an undesirable "saggy butt" fit, so I had to send these back.

Gilli Trista Faux Wrap Jersey Dress, $68

This would have been the perfect transitional piece for the office with the elbow length sleeves and classic style, but just like with the first dress, the low cut showed a lot more chest than is work appropriate. I sent this back.

Papermoon Egan One Pocket Knit Top, $38

This didn't wow me for any reason, and I'm not a fan of chest pockets on women's clothing for me; I don't need any additional attention in that area! Technically, I kept it, just not for me: another girl in a SF group asked to buy it from me.

Summary

This fix was a 1/5 for me personally. Had the shorts fit better, it would have been a 2/5. The dresses honestly didn't wow me, but more importantly, I was kind of disappointed that two items were so low cut. When I first registered for Stitch Fix, I was very clear that with my larger bust, I needed items that covered the girls so they could be worn to work. Up until this fix, they had 100% met this request.

I'm requesting fixes slightly more frequently now that I have style pass. I made some color/pattern requests for the next fix, so let's see if it improves again! Fix #4 was hard to beat and I hope to see more winning fixes in the future!

If you like anything you see or are ready to try some new fashion, complete your style profile here and order your first fix. They are so confident you will be happy, they will refund your $20 styling fee if you opt not to keep anything from your first fix!
