In January, I tried out Stitch Fix for the first time and wasn’t super impressed with the items I received. I figured I’d give it a second go, because I suspect that boxes get better over time when the stylist gets to know what sort of thing you like. I changed my frequency to every other month, which seems like a good amount of time between each box.
So! The items that I received in this Fix were:
- Light grey Artemis knit top ($42)
- White Mackenzie Henley blouse ($44)
- Black Dawson bar neck knit top ($38)
- Black Asa knit blazer ($68)
- Indigo Elvina skinny jean ($64)
Price wise, I felt like they were slightly more reasonable than the last fix I received, and style wise, it was much more the sort of thing I like to wear on a daily basis. In case you’ve forgotten what Stitch Fix is about, you get sent 5 items and have 3 days to try them on and decide if you want to keep any of them. Excuse the hastily snapped pics in the front room – I realised I needed to return the items the next day and hadn’t even opened the box! If you’ve been following me on social media, you’ll know I fell skiing last week so it’s difficult to stand on my left leg…this isn’t just me trying to pose cutely, I’m just trying not to fall over!

I didn’t hate this top, but I didn’t keep it because all the interesting design is at the back (not sure how obvious it is from these pics, but it was a backwards cardigan style with patches on the elbows) and for some reason, the buttons didn’t sit flat at the top part (I mean, I know I’ve been focusing on arm days this week because I’ve hurt my knee, but I don’t think my gainz are that extreme!)

I’ve only just noticed that I didn’t tuck in the hanger ribbons on the top! I didn’t mind this top, but again, it was a little too basic to keep.

I really liked this blouse – the length is what I’m looking for at the moment and the pattern is not one I would go for in a shop but I think it looks pretty good on!

Finally, I received a blazer which was the first thing I pulled out of the box and literally cheered! I’ve been looking for something like this for a year or so and I feel like this is one of the benefits of the service.
In all of these pictures, I wore the jeans that were sent in the box which fitted really nicely, but I feel like all I wear at the moment are jeans, and I already have quite a few pairs that are fairly similar to this.
I decided to keep the Mackenzie blouse and the Asa blazer because they’re things that I think I will wear often, and wouldn’t have bought myself or have been able to find! I think I’ll keep the service for at least another go – it’s just a shame that this doesn’t exist yet in the UK because I had a few messages yesterday on Instagram! If you’re in the US, this link will give you your first Fix for free (and I’ll receive $25 towards future purchases)
