I started working recently and decided it’s time to get a few new things to wear.
Except that I don’t like to shop and it’s nearly impossible to do so with four little boys.
So I decided to give Stitch Fix a try.
My friend tried it and recommended it so I got online, answered questions about my style and the types of clothes I would like to receive and about two weeks later, my box arrived! (Below is a video of me unpacking it)
Here are my thoughts on Stitch Fix:
Pros:
- FUN – When a box of new clothes arrives in the mail for you – it feels like it’s your birthday! It’s so fun!
- Pretty accurate size/style – I chose LIKE IT, LOVE IT, or HATE IT from a selection of outfits when I signed up. I entered my size and answered some fun and simple questions. Four out of the five items I would have definitely picked out to try on.
- Simple returns – You can send any items back that you don’t love in a large, pre-stamped envelope. They will refund you for those items.
- TIME SAVER – Cute new outfits that I didn’t have to shop for!
- Sanity saver – I don’t have to shop with four boys!
- Money saver – I don’t have to hire a babysitter to watch my boys while I go shopping.
- Conveniently sends you a new shipment based on your preferences – from monthly to quarterly.
- Requests feedback so that can better match your style in each shipment. You can even request specific items. They also asked for feedback about cost – was it too high, just right, or too low!
- Refer friends (see below) and get a credit towards your next box.
Cons:
- Cost – I usually shop at Target, TJ Maxx and thrift stores – so the clothes were more than I like to spend. However, I gave this feedback and we will see if the next box has better prices. If not, I don’t think I’ll continue this service.
- If you love to shop and have time for it, this might not be ideal for you. Unless you’d like to see what a Stitch fix stylist would pick out for you?
