I’ve been on the fence about Stitch Fix for quite awhile now. I’m not really sure why–mostly because I’ve just been scared to commit, I think. I finally decided, What will it hurt if I try? If I don’t like it, I can just send everything back! So, I filled out some info on Stitch Fix and then waited for my first fix. You know what I thought was so cool? They asked if I had any fashion-related Pinterest boards that I’d like to share with them to give them an idea of my tastes. I loved that! I anxiously awaited my first Fix, and when it came, it felt like Christmas morning! I could not believe how my stylist nailed it! Secretly, I was hoping I would love everything, because if you keep all the items, you get a 25% discount! I loved everything, but am on the fence about one item. So, without further adieu, here are my items!
Also, if you are not familiar with Stitch Fix and how it works, let me break it down for you in 3 quick points: 1. Start by filling out your style profile – you will complete a bunch of questions on sizing, pricing, preferences, colors, etc. You can also write notes about likes/dislikes. Make sure to link your fashion board on Pinterest so your stylist can see what you like! 2. Order your first fix! Your card will be charged a $20 styling fee, but if you keep any item [one or more] you will be credited back the $20. Because of this I always recommend keeping at least one item or you are essentially giving away $20 for nothing in return. You will receive five items in your fix. I personally only want clothing in my fix (as opposed to jewelry or other accessories) so I just always let my stylist know! 3. Decide what you want and what you want to send back [in a postage paid envelope]! You have 3 business days to do so – use this time to try everything on, see what you have in your closet that pairs well with it and don’t be afraid to say yes to something that you wouldn’t normally. That’s what makes Stitch Fix so fun! It should be noted that while I have chosen to receive monthly fixes, this is in no way a subscription service and you are able to decide when you want another fix, whether that be in 6 months or 2 years from your first fix! I know some peeps are curious on the pricing, All of the items you see below were less than $80 with several in the $40-$50 range.
Market & Spruce Barrymore Solid Pleat Detail Top I loved how light and airy this tank top was. It was a little on the big side, and so out of everything I got, it was the only one I was really hesitating on. What do you think? Keep? Or send back? My verdict: Keep! (Unless you convince me otherwise) 
Pixley Triste Swing Skirt Ok, I am normally not a skirt person, but I absolutely adored this skirt! Totally comfortable, and I think a flattering cut! What do you think? My verdict: Keep! 
Market & Spruce Corinna Striped Dolman Top Another really comfy top! Loved that it was something I could wear most of the year since it wasn’t too thick. Plus, I think I’m drawn to stripes and didn’t even know it! My verdict: Keep! 
Skies are Blue Venice Sleeveless Cardigan This sleeveless cardigan is not normally something I would buy, but I thought it was fun, and it definitely was warm! Would be really cute over a plain ol’ black long-sleeved shirt (often my go-to in the winter) to help spruce it up. What do you think? My verdict: Keep! 
Just Black Dean Skinny Jean Ok, looking at these in the pic, they may not look as flattering as they felt. They are seriously the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn! I’m hoping after I wash them, they’ll shrink just a teeny bit. Plus, the cute zipper… 
My verdict: Keep!
Honestly, I think a huge reason why I had such great success is because I provided my Pinterest board to the stylist. It was seriously like she knew me! Will I continue to do a Stitch Fix every month? I think I’ll try it for a few months and see how I like it. I’m curious to see if the quality of the clothes is as good as I’m hoping. Only time will tell… So, have you tried Stitch Fix? Love it? Hate it? Worth it? Not worth it?

Hillary says
Oh my gosh!! LOVE!! I really like the color of the tank top, I think you should keep!
Shanti Landon says
Ok, thanks, Hillary!
Susie says
I love my Stitch Fix! Most months my stylist gets me. I have asked to get out of a style slump ( Pink Camo, yes, I know!) and wow have they ever helped! I am sent clothes that I never in a million years thought that I would try. At first, I thought, wow, this is kinda out of my budget, but I asked if they could keep it on the lower side & they have, for the most part. If there is something I don’t like, I have kept it to get the big discount and the piece eventually made it on my body or I sold it to a friend. All in all, I love it! It’s like Christmas every month! If you really let your stylist know what you expect, they work hard to please you. Keeping that Pinterest board up to date really helps them! I love all your pieces, although I am not a dress or skirt kind of gal, but it looks really cute on you! Enjoy!
Shanti Landon says
Thanks, Susie! I love that! I am curious to see budget-wise if she goes a little lower next month since that’s what I requested!
LeDawn says
I think the skirt and the navy striped top look nice on you. I also like the tank top and the pants, but they both seem a little large (depending on your preference). I don’t personally care for the sleeveless cardigan. These are just my thoughts. Stitch Fix is fun 🙂
Shanti Landon says
Thanks, LeDawn!!
Selena G. says
I think the pants are really cute! I see what you mean about them being a bit baggy, but they may shrink when you wash? Love the color of the tank and the striped shirt, too. The cardigan I could do without, but I could see how you’d want to keep it for the discount!
Shanti Landon says
Yeah, they sure know what they’re doing by offering that incentive! lol
Sarah Malone says
How were the prices? That’s what I’m most concerned about. I kinda want to try, but I’ve heard it can be pretty pricey.
Shanti Landon says
The prices were definitely more than I would normally spend. I am going to try it out for a few months and see whether it’s worth it to me. I figured there was no drawback if I just sent the items back that I didn’t want–they even provide a postage-paid envelope! You don’t have to do it every month, either. You can just do it once, or you could do every month, every other month, or however often you want. =)
Carrie says
Totally LOVE the skirt outfit! My favorite. Keep the tank, it’s really cute and perfect for the summers here. Burgundy jeans, adorable 🙂
Shanti Landon says
Thanks, Miss Carrie! Having your support makes it all worth it. =)
Jessica DeMay says
That top tank top is so cute and looks awesome on you! I definitely think you should keep it!!
Shanti Landon says
Ok, thanks Jessica!
Becky says
I think they all look great on you! My favorite is the striped skirt, so cute! Love Stitch Fix, I’ve been getting them for a year now and have definitely kept things I never would have tried on in a store and they become my favorite items. Enjoy!
Shanti Landon says
Thanks, Becky!
Bonnie Sorenson says
Everything is cute!!! I’ve gotten two fixes so far and kept everything. Only one dress have I really been unhappy with. Trying to sell on a FB buy sell trade page but no luck as of yet. Cute print but only bottom half fit. The top is all loose. Typically I have the same issues with anything sleeveless. I just get out the needle and thread and sew up the underarm a bit! I have gotten two pair of jeans and they both fit! Amazing! I was pleasantly surprised how everything fit so well ( except that dress!!). I hope you keep it all!!!
Shanti Landon says
Great idea about stitching the underarm, Bonnie! I couldn’t believe the pants fit me since I have SUCH a hard time finding jeans that fit right!
Cathie R says
The turquoise top looks way too big. Too much bra showing under the arms. Pretty color on you though. Sweater — meh! I am just starting with Stitch fix too. First box was a bust but the second I kept three out of five. As far as prices I think you have to take into account the convenience, free postage, unique styles, not to mention the fun! It is not going to compare to the sale rack of course and it bugs me to see people comparing items to Target.
Shanti Landon says
Thanks for the input, Cathie! I washed the turquoise top, and it fits much better now! I’m trying the sweater with a different top, and I think I just don’t like it with the striped top underneath. I agree about the prices/convenience thing!
Margaret @ youngandrungry says
I absolutely love these looks. I have a good friend who does Stitch Fix and she always looks amazing and so put together. I wear scrubs every day to work and sweaty running clothes all weekend so I’m not sure if I’d get my moneys worth, but maybe one day!
Shanti Landon says
Lol! I know what you mean!
Peggy says
I received the same skirt from Stitch Fix and love it. Wore it to a meeting last week and got compliments. Plus it is very comfortable. Also like the color of the tank on you.
Shanti Landon says
Thank you!
Maggie Williamson says
For a first fix…you had tremendous success! It would be really helpful if you listed the name of the item and price so that Stitch Fix subscribers can pin to their own boards for their stylists. We also then know if the piece is in their price range. I really like the aqua top and I think it will shrink a bit – you might like that.
Shanti Landon says
Oh!! That makes sense. Thank you for letting me know! Will definitely do that next month!
April says
This is the most superficial post ever. As a Christian woman, it grieves me to see a person “of faith” like you caring about your outward appearance. How disappointing. Jesus doesn’t care about our looks, He cares about our heart. And you have just shown that your heart is shallow and self-centered. You are an awful example to young girls and perpetuating the lie that appearance matters.
Shanti Landon says
April, I have just replied to your comment in this post: Should Christians Care About Fashion?
Kathy says
I have never heard of Stitch Fix until now, thank you for this post! I think like you I feel a bit afraid of the commitment to try it, but to see you in your first fix outfits is inspiring. They did a wonderful job and you look beautiful!
Secondly I can’t help but comment on what April said. I couldn’t believe how judgmental and non Christian like her comments were, it made my heart hurt for you. I read your post on Should Christians Care About Fashion and your response was elegant, honest and loving. Once again you looked beautiful . . . this time on the inside.
Thank you for your recipes too, I’m gonna go check out your post on Paleo Freezer Meals next! 🙂
Shanti Landon says
Hi, Kathy! So sorry I missed this comment! Thank you SO much!! <3
Jessica says
Shanti, I love every piece in that collection. I just received my 16th Stitch Fix and it can be hit or miss but I usually find at least one or two (or five!) pieces I can’t live w/out. I have that same striped top in a light gray and it remains one of my favorite tops of all times! I adore those ankle zip jeans; can you tell us the brand name/style? Keep shining your light and be true to yourself. 🙂
Shanti Landon says
Thanks, Jessica! The jeans are Just Black Dean Skinny Jean. =) Thanks for the comment!
