Hello all,
Stitchfix is a combined shopping/ styling service that I read about recently. Basically you sign up, put in your physical attributes and style preferences and they send you a box with 5 new items, with styling tips. You send back what you don't want in a prepaid envelope within 3 days. It is supposedly very popular with people who have no time to shop.
So why does a person like myself who spends an excessive amount of time following fashion and shopping on line try it? Because I was curious to see what someone else might recommend for me. I particularly asked for dress suggestions, because I rarely wear dresses. Partly because it's cold ... and partly because I rarely find ones that I like.
Anyway, after a couple of weeks they sent me: super cheap and ugly looking necklace, blue & white stripe cardigan (I liked that one), ruffled trench coat (in pic 7), b/w + green striped dress, and tan/orange medallion print sack dress. Also sent some outfit ideas for each item, which was a good element of the service.
I was interested in the ideas that the Stitchfix stylist offered but wasn't super thrilled by them. I was curious whether it was my comfort with skinnies and cardigans in the way or whether the selection were actually not the best choice for me. I liked the colors in the tan/coral dress but it was super big and I have a hard time wrapping my eye around myself in ruffles and volume. Also I noticed the same thing about the striped dress being gappy with the blazer.
