Finding Fall Favorites with Stitch Fix

November 9, 2018

This post was created in partnership with Stitch Fix. I will always share with you my honest thoughts and experiences. Clicking on links in this post and/or purchasing items through them may provide me with a small commission. This is part of what keeps Dressed for Time going. Thanks for support brands that support this blog! 😀

Finding Fall Favorites with Stitch Fix - Fur-trimmed cargo jacket

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you’ll know that my relationship with Stitch Fix is nothing new.. (check out some of my past fixes here, here, here, here, here, here, here, to name a few!) This month marked my 34th fix! I truly enjoy the opportunity to try out new brands, exclusive styles, and that it feels like Christmas every time I get home and find my fix waiting for me. This time, I was a bit of a ding-dong and spaced on providing some feedback for what I was looking for.. It worked out in my favor though, because my stylist knows my tastes pretty well by now, and can almost predict some of the pieces that were lacking in my wardrobe. Fall in Chicago is pretty much the same as winter in Southern California, so I knew I needed to update some key pieces for the transition. Read on to see how I’m finding fall favorites with Stitch Fix and how to get your very best fix!

When I first opened up this fix, I was a little taken aback at first by how much pink there was! Not a typical color for fall, but I’m actually really liking the blush tones. They’re unexpected, and less overtly pink than bubblegum or hot/neon shades. The fur-trimmed jacket I’ve fallen in love with! I’m slightly shy to admit that after not having much of an opportunity to work out over the past couple months, I’ve put on a few pounds and not all of my coats that I brought with me still fit. This one does! I’d also wear it over t-shirts, and if I wanted to get really adventurous, some burgundy-hued denim.

My fave of the fix is definitely the grey sweater. It’s the softest stretchy fabric, and feels just like a cloud. I’ll be pairing it, and the black hoodie, with leggings or joggers for a more athleisure vibe. Perfect looks for running errands and meeting friends for casual coffee dates.

If you’ve read this far, and are thinking, “What the heck is Stitch Fix?” Let me break it down for you. Stitch Fix is a personalized styling service that sends you highly curated items to integrate with items you already have in your own closet. You fill out a detailed styling quiz, (be honest!), which includes what styles you know you like, and what you’d be interested in trying. I also like that you can share what you don’t want any of. My no’s include anything yellow, orange or wool (too itchy!). I also have enough shoes to fill a boat, so I’ve requested no footwear in my fixes.

One of the great things about the service, as I mentioned I forgot to do this round, is to leave a note for your stylist. Here you can request specific pieces you’re looking for, like if you’re attending a wedding or going on vacation soon. Also, if there is a trend you’re wanting to try, like a jumpsuit or leopard jacket. They have pretty much everything you could ask for in their arsenal of styles. Especially when starting out before your stylist gets to know a little more about your body type, adventurousness with trends, and what pieces are missing in your closet, I highly recommend being detailed in this note.

Stitch Fix works with amazing top brands and is very size-inclusive, with selections ranging from 0-24W, and even has expanded into maternity and styles for men! Mark actually found one of his favorite button-downs through a fix. Another thing I can’t stress enough is to be honest about your budget. The pieces range from $28-$298, and I usually state to go as cheap as possible. You do receive a 25% discount when you purchase all 5 pieces, which I’ve been known to do on a pretty frequent basis!

To learn more about Stitch Fix, or to sign up, you’re welcome to use my sign-up link. There is a $20 styling fee that applies to your fix, but it’s redeemable towards anything you purchase! I am always able to find at least one item that I fall in love with, so my credit doesn’t go unused. You can cancel at any time, and receive boxes as frequently as every couple weeks, or just once a season.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, if you’ve used Stitch Fix before. If not, what should I request in my next fix?

August Stitch Fix Review

August 24, 2017

August Stitch Fix Review - Red top and cropped denimHello, babes!
My August Stitch Fix Review has arrived, woohoo! It’s so surreal to say August, geeze. I’m going to be 32 in a couple months, and I feel like that number is definitely creeping up on me! Anyway, on to the fix and the end-of-summertasticness that it tuned out to be. This round, I asked for an off-shoulder top, some colorful tanks, and a new maxi dress.
I’ll start with the maxi dress, which was most definitely my least favorite piece in my fix. I’m not a self-hater by far, but trust me when I say that this is a dress that will only look flattering on a super skinny chick. It’s one of those dresses that clings to every little part of you, accentuating EVERYTHING. Also the self-tie belt was a little ridiculous. The rest of the pieces those were SO cute and perfect for the season. Read on to hear my thoughts on the rest of this month’s fix..

August Stitch Fix Review - Embroidered Summer Top August Stitch Fix Review - Summer Embroidered Top Top / Stitch Fix // Capris / Old Navy // Bag / Forever 21 // Necklace / Gorjana

This embroidered-neck top was SO cute when I pulled it out of the box, but wearability because such an issue with this one. It looked off wearing a bralette, because of the neckline, but because of the sheerness, you could see my strapless bra quite visibly. At $32, it was a great deal, but I kind of have to be able to wear a bra.
Top, $32, returned.

August Stitch Fix Review - Floral Top and Jeans August Stitch Fix Review - Summer Floral Top Tank / Stitch Fix // Cropped denim / Old Navy // Bag / Botkier // Long & Short necklaces / Gorjana from Rocksbox (use code “kristinbff320” for your first month free) // Sandals / JustFab

Ahhhh, this print! So vivid, so cheery and floral. The lace-up detailing is a cute touch, and I love that the bag and shoe pairings with this top are endless.
Tank, $36, kept.

August Stitch Fix Review - Lemon Off Shoulder Top August Stitch Fix Review - Summer Off the Shoulder BlouseCitrus top / Stitch Fix // Cropped jeans // Old Navy // Choker lariat / Poppy Apparel (use code “dressedfortime” at checkout for 10% off) // Bag / Nordstrom // Sandals / Just Fab

“Totes adorbs” is the first thought that came to mind when trying on this top. At second glance, though, it was a little bit, and also had a small snag in the front. I tried to swap it out for a smaller size, but it wasn’t available, so, at $48, it was sent back.

August Stitch Fix Review - Striped Maxi DressThis silly thing, haha. At $58, it wasn’t the most I’d ever spend on a maxi dress, but I would pay more for one that fit better. Dress, returned.

August Stitch Fix Review - Split-Neck Top and Cropped Jeans August Stitch Fix Review - Red Summer Top Top / Stitch Fix // Cropped distressed jeans / Old Navy // Bag / Trive Alive from the Box of Style // Choker / Gorjana // Sandals / JustFab

So this top I was on the fence about until the end. It had a sheer printed bandana-like material on the back, but the front just seemed a touch basic to me. Not special enough to warrant keeping.
Top, $48, returned.

Overall, I thought I was going to be keeping more from this fix, but after remembering I’m really trying to pare down my wardrobe to basics and pieces I can’t live without, I kept only the one tank that I fell in love with. I hope you enjoyed my August Stitch Fix review!

July Stitch Fix Review

July 20, 2017

July Stitch Fix Review - Print Maxi DressHello, bombshells!
Another month, another fix! As this seemingly endless heat continues, I’m so happy that my Stitch Fix stylist sent over a bunch of fun items appropriate for the season. I pretty much always request more maxi dresses, and this time I had two great ones to choose from. I ended up choosing two items this round; keep reading on to view my July Stitch Fix Review to find out which ones I fell in love with!
July Stitch Fix Review - Cold Shoulder Top & Cropped Cargos July Stitch Fix Review - Cold Shoulder Top and Cropped Cargo PantsTop & Cropped pants / Stitch Fix // Heeled sandals / Abound at Nordstrom Rack // Choker / JustFab // Sunnies / Amazon

I had requested something off-shoulder or open-shoulder and while I wasn’t in love with this top right out of the box, it definitely did grow on me! Same goes for the pants. I was like “hello, 90’s” and not in a good way, but when I slipped them on, I realized how versatile they could be. The price tag had me wincing though, so they went back. The top, I felt I would get plenty of use out of through summer and beyond, (this is SoCal after all), so I kept it.
Top, $54, kept; Cropped cargos, $118.

July Stitch Fix Review - Print Maxi Dress for Summer July Stitch Fix Review - Print Maxi Dress and Tassel NecklaceDress / Stitch Fix // Platforms / JustFab // Necklace / LA find // Sunnies / Amazon

The first of two lovely maxis this fix, this blue, black and tan printed material felt so luxe and great against my skin. I adore the faux wrap front and knotted straps. It also hugged my curves in all the right places, and even though some styles like this gape at the bust because I’m smaller-chested, this one didn’t!
Maxi dress, $78, kept.

July Stitch Fix Review - Plaid Shirt and Cropped Pants July Stitch Fix Review - Button Down and Cropped CargosPlaid top & Cropped cargos / Stitch Fix // T-shirt / Old Navy // Necklace / J. Crew // Sunnies / Amazon // Sneakers / Target

I was happy to see a super soft plaid included in my box, but who the heck pays $88 for one? Not me. It wasn’t any better quality that I could detect than one from Old Navy or Forever 21. Super cute but not worth near $100 with tax.
Button-down, $88, returned.

July Stitch Fix Review - Print and Crochet Maxi Dress with Steve Madden sandals July Stitch Fix Review - Crochet maxi dress and flat sandalsDress / Stitch Fix // Sandals / Steve Madden // Necklace / LA find // Sunnies / Amazon

So, this dress… I wanted to love. The print is lovely, it fit well, the little crochet bit was really pretty, and a great length to wear with flats. The only downside was that I realized it was also $78, like the dress I ended up keeping, and that spending over $150 on two maxi dresses was not the wisest decision. This print/crochet also brought to mind something I might be able to find at the mall for $30, so this one went back.

All in all, my July Stitch Fix was WAY out of my price-range, and I let my stylist know it. Apparently, my previous stylist, whom I loved, has left the company. Jessica chose some really cute items, but not within my budget at all. The total for these items before discount was $416, and $312 after. No, thank you.
When I reached out with my feedback of the fix, the customer service team wrote back to reassure me that it wouldn’t happen again. I have my profile set to “as cheap as it gets”, with the exception of outerwear which I’m willing to spend a little more on. All things considered, I kept the cold-shoulder top and the polka dot maxi dress. Not my best fix, but overall I was happy with what I kept.
I hope you enjoyed my July Stitch Fix Review!
Until next fix 😉

Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway!

June 16, 2017

Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway!Hello, loves!
This month’s Stitch Fix review is extra special because I’ve partnered with them for a giveaway! More to come after all of the details of my most recent fix, and spoiler alert, it was a GOOD one 😀

Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway! Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway! Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway!Top & Jeans (and necklace from a previous fix) / Stitch Fix // Bracelet / Kyle Chan Design // Mules / Abound at Nordstrom Rack // Jacket / Gap // Sunnies / Amazon // Crossbody bag / Forever 21
My stylist thought I would love this pair of colored denim.. And she was right! They fit well and actually pair really nicely with solids and print tops. I didn’t notice they are “cropped” which for this pair means just a touch above my ankle. I’ve had this issue before with cropped pairs, that it doesn’t look intentional, so I cuffed these up a bit.
The top is definitely up my alley as well, combining some of my favorite things… Floral print, polka dots and lace! It was tiny bit snug around my hips, but nothing too uncomfortable to stop me from wearing it.
Jeans, $78 and top, $48, kept.

Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway! Latest Stitch Fix Review & Giveaway!Cardigan & jeans / Stitch Fix // Wedges / JustFab (similar) // Blouse / Daniel Rainn at Nordstrom Rack
See, these jeans pair well with so many things! I was super excited to pull out this embroidered, dolman-sleeve cardigan, right up until I noticed the long sleeves, eek! It’s 96 degrees outside right now, so I will have to reserve this piece for cooler nights or bring it back out around fall. Still a keeper though, because it’s just so cute!
Cardigan, $58, kept.

A $28 light layering piece in a cute print, come on! This kimono I knew I was definitely going to keep. I could wear it over a black tank dress, with a black tee and jeans, or even over my swimsuit. Such an easy “third-piece” item.
Kimono, $28, kept.

Last but not least, this elevated basic grey top. It does look kind of plain from the front, so I added a lovely (and sparkly!) statement necklace to jazz it up a bit. I love the knotted detail on the back and can see myself pairing it with a little lacy bralette peeking out as summer progresses, or when fall comes around again, a vivid print scarf.
Top, $38, kept.

All in all, I kept… Everything!
I was super happy with this fix.. From the fit of the items, to how well they suit my clothing personality, and the price points were very reasonable for me.

CONTEST ENDED!! Now on to the fun stuff! I’ve partnered with Stitch Fix to offer one lucky winner a $50 gift card towards a fix!
