January Stitch Fix Summary


It's Stitch Fix Review Day! I received a box at the middle of the month. To be honest this wasn't one of my favorite fixes, but I did get an awesome pair of jeans for a really great price, so I still consider that a win.

I've got some great news! If you want to try  Stitch Fix and you link there from here, they are waiving the styling fee. That means you can try this for $0 dollars which is FREE, girls! Normally, you pay $20 to receive your box of five items and if you don't choose anything you are out $20. If you do choose to buy an item, the $20 comes off the price. But today if you sign up, you can try it without paying a dime. Either way, shipping the items you don't want back to Stitch Fix is always free and easy.

Also, just a heads up. There is a Stitch Fix program for men as well. It might be a good Valentine's gift for your man. I gave it to my hubby for Christmas and he got a great pair of Tom's leather loafers in his first shipment that he really likes. I liked everything they sent him, but he was a little more skeptical. Listen, Rome wasn't built in a day. I'm holding out hope that he'll choose more than one item from his next fix. No matter what this is a great gift if your man doesn't like shopping for himself.

Here's a look at my January Fix.

Harper Lane
Melliann Thumbhole Cardigan


This olive colored sweater was slouchy and soft and so comfortable. I was *this* close to keeping it - especially after I came up with this outfit for it. In the end, I just couldn't keep it because I have three other long cardigans and this color really is not great on me. I was worried that it would sit in my closet more than on my body. This was a tough return, but I sent it back.


Nine Britton
Maybelle Tie Front Knit Top



All I could think about when I saw this top was the Chick-Fil-A cows. Which isn't great when you're smack dab in the middle of the Whole30 eating program that unfortunately does not include the joy of chicken strips and waffle fries. This was a "no" from the beginning. The tie at the waist is a cute detail, but I'm not a fan of flutter sleeves on me and the polka dots were just too big. Even when I tried to cover it up with a denim jacket, I still didn't like it. This was a return.


Shiraleah
Illinois Square Scarf


This was a large scarf with some great colors. I liked it, but styling a large scarf can be tricky and my January brain can't deal with tricky. Plus, I cleaned out my closet recently and realized that I have way more scarves than is necessary for a girl with only one neck. This was a return.



Emory Park
Dulce Hacci Knit Top


When I saw the photo card that Stitch Fix sends with the items pictured, I thought this sweater was going to be grey. It is grey-ish, but it is also purplish which is a deal breaker for me. My stylist informed me that the Pantone color of the year is violet this year. I only learned that there was such a thing as a Pantone color of the year a few years ago, so I'm too old to care about that now. And also, I dislike purple with an unreasonable passion, so I hope all the people who look good in purple will enjoy how much we'll see it this year. I'll just sit this one out. This was a return.

STS Blue
Neve Fray Hem Skinny Jean


Stitch Fix kills it in the jeans department. I really needed some jeans that were not distressed and these were perfect. The fit is great. They're skinny and don't end up bagging in the knees even after being worn all day. They have a frayed hem and were the perfect length. And at only $49.00 I thought the price was great.


That's it for the January review. Don't forget you can try Stitch Fix risk free by clicking "Go" on the link below to get started and I'll get a discount on my next fix which will make me so happy and grateful!
