Stitch Fix vs Sister Fix Disclaimer: Sister is HORRIFIED

Two of my friends were wearing the cutest outfits recently and I asked where they shopped. “Stitch Fix!” They both responded.

I decided to check this thing out.

I have four boys and shopping for clothes is not an easy or enjoyable thing for me – Stitch Fix is what I needed. No shopping required!

I got my first box of clothes and it felt like Christmas. I posted about it here.

A few months later I asked my sister if she would shop for me. I wanted to know how a “sister fix” would compare to a “stitch fix.” My sister enjoys shopping, knows my style, and I like that she knows how to find a bargain. She agreed to do it.

Below are my “Sister Fix” outfits that cost about the same as a box from Stitch Fix.

SISTER FIX PROS:

• Sister buys things on sale – I get more for my money.
• She knows my style.
• She shopped, took pictures of outfits and mailed everything to me.
• I loved nearly everything she purchased. I couple of items did not fit or didn’t look as good on me as they did on the hanger.

STITCH FIX PROS:

• They ask lots of questions to understand your style.
• They mail everything to you.
• I spend NO time shopping or returning items.
• I can try things on right in my own home and pair them with things I already own.
• The box is fun to receive – it’s like Christmas morning.
• They include a picture/style card of exactly how to wear each item.
• They include an envelope to ship anything you want back at no additional cost.
• If you refer people, you earn money towards free clothes!
• $15 dollar credit towards your first FIX: http://stitchfix.com/referral/14898853 if you use that code to save yourself money and try Stitch Fix, I’ll earn money too!

SISTER FIX CONS:

• Sister spent a lot of time picking out clothes for me – not convenient for her.
• She took pictures, boxed and shipped everything – more of her time.
• I had to go and return everything I didn’t like – my time doing stuff I don’t enjoy.
• She sent me pictures of how to ‘style’ the items she sent, but I accidentally deleted it before the clothes arrived. (She resent them later!)

STITCH FIX CONS:

• Items can be pricier than what I’d normally spend. I’m a TJ Maxx, Target and thrift store shopper!
• I’ve heard it takes 2-3 shipments before they really start to understand what you want and like.
• I only kept 1 item from my first “fix” – because I didn’t love the other items, and they were more than what I wanted to spend

Below is the video of me trying everything on.

DISCLAIMER: My sister was partially horrified and partially cracking up when she watched this video below. She does not want her name attached to it! 

She said I did NOT follow her advice in how to WeAR/Style the items she sent! We LAUGHED together about this – we are so different. She is a perfectionist when it comes to STYLE, and I did not LAYER and STYLE the items correctly. Sorry Sis! I need you to come and “style” me … I guess sending me clothes is not the answer – you actually need to come to Colorado and show me HOW to wear my clothes!

Anyway … the pictures above show the styling, the video shows the individual pieces and the fit!

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! What should I keep? What should I never wear again!
