I was excited to receive my first Stitch Fix. I posted all my favorite styles to my pinterest pages and filled out a profile for my stylist. What would I receive? Would I like it. I'm pretty conservative and like most people I have some body issues that need special treatment. I was delighted when my box arrived and it was packaged beautifully and with care to detail. It just said someone cares.
My review
LAILA JAYDE
Placer Knit Poncho
$58
The style of this is something I would totally wear for casual use. The fabric feels wonderful. It is actually black and not gray/green. It is 46% rayon and 46% poly and 8% spandex. It is very soft, yet definitely has some body. Washable in cold water and dry flat or choose to dry clean. I'm inclined to keep it, but would have preferred a color that screamed SPRING.
LOVEAPPELLA
Zaria Border Print Maxi Skirt
$58
This was definitely something I would not have picked. But to be fair, I tried it on anyway. It does fit, but as my initial impression said it was not my style. Way toooo bohemian in the peach and blue print. Had it been a solid dark color, I would have found it to be very versatile and added it to my wardrobe. As it is it is going back. It was 95%rayon an 5% spandex.
EUNINA
Imogen bootcut jean
$88
I don't usually wear jeans. I love them on other people. I did go thru a jeans phase several years ago, and loved them then. But that was past. I decided to be open minded and gave them a fair shot. They didn't fit. They looked like nice jeans but they are Going Back.
MARKET & SPRUCE
Bri Knit Cardigan
$38
At first appearance, this didn't have enough style, but the price was reasonable. As I tried it on I really liked it. It will be a nice lightweight summer/spring sweater. A keeper. It's 60% rayon, 35% poly and 5% spandex and washable. It has a nice texture for a knit.
PAPERMOON
Magguie Lasercut Detail Blouse
$44
I like the neckline on this blouse and the color is fresh. I have very little green in my closet and most of it is chartreuse green. This would be something new for me. When I tried it on I loved the color. It suited my skin tones. Best item in the batch for color. However the armholes were a little big and I am concerned about the neckline with the laser cut trim. Nice idea, but not very practical. It is made from a very thin fabric and without facing so the neckline has no stability and is bound to curl quickly. It is 96% poly and is washable which was nice. It will be going back.
I think for a first Stitch Fix, this was a valiant effort and a real chance for my personal stylist to get to know my tastes. I'll be interested to see what the next box brings me.
