favorite things | stitch fix

So I’ve been meaning to blog about some fun stuff, other than photography or photo sessions. Some of my favorite things and other randomness. Just call me Oprah. I always wished I could have made it into the audience for one of her “favorite things” shows. No such luck. Anyhow. So, Stitch Fix. What is Stitch Fix? It’s basically access to a personal stylist who picks clothes and accessories for you and sends them right to your doorstep for you to try on in the comfort of your own home! I heard about this from some other photographers and bloggers and had to give it a try.

You fill out a style and sizing survey, and pick a price range. There is a $20 styling fee that gets applied to anything you keep from your shipment of 5 pieces. Anything you don’t keep goes back in the provided mailer. Easy as that! If you keep all 5 pieces, everything is discounted 25% (I’ve only kept all 5 once so far out of about four boxes).

It’s really fun to get the box and open it up as you have no idea what some complete stranger has picked for you! Some of it works amazingly well, some misses the mark or doesn’t fit right at all, but of course that’s to be expected when the stylist has never seen you. Considering that, I’ve been shocked how well they have done with fit for me. And I do like that they pick things for me that I’d never pick for myself.

This are pictures from my first fix:

A peek at what’s inside:

The best part might be these little styling cards that come with each piece that show you ideas on how to dress the piece up or down.

This shocked me – they sent me a pair of skinny jeans that fit like a glove. I recently got a pair of boyfriend jeans from them that also fit perfectly. I only wound up keeping two things from this box because I had some clothes that were pretty similar already.

So if you need a little boost in your wardrobe, try it out, you’ll only be out $20 if you don’t keep anything…if you are like me and like to shop online anyhow, it’s perfect!
