December 2014 Stitch Fix Review | What I Got & What I Kept & Link-Up!
I’m baaaaaaack for my 10th Stitch Fix review. Yes, I am still in love with Stitch Fix. Yes, I am still obsessed. It is SO MUCH FUN. My stylist was Kimberly again… I think she’s styled my last four or five fixes.
Uttam “Tobie Folklore Scarf Dress” – Size XL – $98
I was so excited to see this dress in my fix. I pinned it to my Pinterest board and so I was PUMPED that Kimberly (my stylist) included it for me this month. I was surprised when I got it out of the box at the material… for some reason I thought it was going to be a linen or a cotton material, but it’s actually like a silk / stain material. It’s really flowy. AND IT HAS POCKETS.
It really is a beautiful dress… it’s so beautiful.
But once I put it on, I just didn’t… love it. I loved it from the waist down, the dress hits at a great part and the pockets are awesome… but I didn’t love the sleeves and the top was just a little too “blousy” and I felt like it made me look way bigger up top. While I think it probably would have been okay, I just couldn’t justify keeping it if I didn’t totally love it.
I am probably going to SERIOUSLY regret sending this dress back… but I did…
VERDICT: Return
41Hawthorn “Gideon Polka Dot Sweater” – Size XL – $68
Sure, something basic like a polka dot sweater seems like a no brainer, but it’s not something I would normally pick out for myself. This sweater is SUPER soft and really warm and thick. I also think it’s reversible!
Although, it’s just not really a sweater I think I’d wear all that much… so… I didn’t keep it.
VERDICT: Return
Kut from the Kloth “Cinda Faux Leather Moto Jacket” – Size XL – $98
I WANT TO SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!! I LOVE THIS JACKET!! Oh my gracious. It’s amazing. It’s warm. It’s thick. The moto style is exactly my style. The material is really high quality and you can’t even tell that it’s faux leather. It also has a really pretty inner silk lining that has a floral print.
It’s everything I ever dreamed of in a moto jacket.
Yes, $98 is pricey for a jacket, but honestly… I think it’s a GREAT price for a jacket like this that is well made and will totally last me for a long time.
VERDICT: Keep
Skies are Blue “Nikkita Chevron Textured Blouse” – Size XL – $68
Out of the box, this blouse was just “eh” for me. And when I put it on, it was still just “eh.” The sleeves were way too long. It is a comfortable blouse, but just not a “wow” piece (at least for me).
The back of the blouse is sheer and I don’t love sheer tops (at least on me).
VERDICT: Return
Liverpool “Shania Stitched Detail Jean” – Size 14 – $78
I didn’t get a great picture of these jeans because, honestly, they were a little hard to photograph. The detailing of the pants is really cool… it goes down the side seam of the pants and all along the top. While I loved the pants, in theory, I didn’t love two things about them:
- they collect lint / hair like CRAZY (as you can see in the picture)…
- they were just a littttttttle too tight around my waist and they were just a littttttttle too uncomfortable
I thought the price was right on them, but because of the two cons listed above, they just weren’t worth keeping…
VERDICT: Return
Overall this fix was…
So much fun as usual! Yes, I only kept one item, but it wasn’t because I didn’t LOVE the fix… every item I didn’t keep just had one reason or another that I didn’t want to keep it. If that makes sense…
I have loved my stylist, Kimberly, and she really seems like she’s totally got my style!

Here’s the link to my most recent fix review – http://thirtyandahalf.blogspot.com/2014/12/stitch-fix-review-fix-7.html …and I apologize in advance for the poor pictures. I literally just got a new camera so my pictures will hopefully get better 🙂
What fabulous items! It’s great to venture outside our comfort zone’s sometimes. Thanks for hosting the linkup x
Great review! I’ve been debating trying Stitch fix, but find that I’m too picky when I shop for myself. After reading your experience with it, I may just have to give it a shot!

Thanks for sharing your review- those clothes look great. I’ve wanted to try Stitch Fix but unfortunately they don’t ship overseas 🙁
Just found your blog through the Mommy Moments link up- off to check out more of your posts.

Such a shame you didn’t like that dress. I LOVE it on you. It looks so fun and flattering.

I’ve tried Stitch Fix twice (because you loved it so much and have had such great items!), and the second fail in a row made me so angry (because it was pretty blindingly clear they were not listening to me) that I’m never going to try again! Womp womp. At least you are loving it though! Here’s my review: http://nomoretees.blogspot.com/2014/11/stitch-fix-strike-two-youre-out.html
Oh no! Erica I’m so sorry!!! Have you tried emailing their customer service? ANY TIME I have had an issue, I’ve emailed them and they’ve resolved it right away. I’d try emailing them to let them know your feelings and your experience. The email is hello@stitchfix.com.
Yea, that’s why it was so frustrating…I emailed after the first time and they still screwed up pretty badly. =(
I loooooved the moto jacket and the sweater and the blouse!! Too cute 🙂
Thank you!!
Love the items you got, and totally think that jacket was a KEEPER!!! 🙂
Thank you!!!
I love your stitch fix reviews! I was actually going to order my first fix last week but when I realized that the earliest it would get shipped was Jan 6th I decided to hold off since We’re in the middle of moving and I don’t know where we’ll be! So I’m sadly going to have to wait even longer now until I get to try this!
Oh noes!! I can’t wait till you try it!
Awesome picks! I love everything 🙂 you look fantastic

Thank you!!!!!
Molly I love how you’ve worked your way through the pieces and shown them to us – it’s great to hear why bloggers *don’t* like things for a change… your reasons were spot on: if YOU don’t like it, doesn’t matter how much your readers protest, you just won’t feel comfortable yourself! (Though I did love the polka dot sweater, and I agree about the fabulous jacket 😉
Thank you for hosting – have a wonderful week sweetie!

you are so sweet!!!
Love the jacket! I only kept one item this from this box too, but it’s still so worth it even if you only keep 1 item. I kind of want to request the jacket for my next box! 😉
it’s gorgeous!
I love that chocolate moto jacket! I’m glad that you decided to keep it! Thanks for hosting the link up!
anytime!
My next fix should be here on Wednesday!! Squeeee!! I am getting that polka dot sweater. I’m excited to try it. I’ve been all about sweaters lately.
I think that jacket looks amaaaazing! It’s a shame those pants didn’t work out. They’re really pretty!
YES! can’t wait to see your fix!
It’s always fun trying on different outfits. Love the jacket as well. The color is amazing! Have a great week, Molly! ~Cynthia
thank you so much!
Fun to see what you got. I’ve never done this, but it looks awesome.

you should definitely try it!
Great jacket!! I love that! I am thinking that you should have kept that amazing dress, but I love that you have the self control to return it if you didn’t love it. I enjoy the Fix reviews! Keep them coming! Susan
thanks, susan!
I am not a fan of these subscription type services since i buy enough clothes as it is. It seems like they do a good job fine tuning what you like and you’ve got good self control to keep only what you love. Great jacket to keep!

I’m not a “subscription” person usually… but Stitch Fix just feels different. I love it!
Oh that first dress is so pretty. I have a hard time with tops that come up too high on the neck like that. It kind of makes the torso look larger than it really is. But I LOVE the pattern.

thank you janeane!
I like reading those box reviews 🙂 And I think it is totally commendable that you are able to say No to items you don’t 100% love or that you aren’t convinced you wear much.
