February Stitch Fix Review (and the 7×7 challenge!)

February 4, 2015·

It’s that time of the month – Stitch Fix review time! I actually got my February fix a little earlier than normal this time, but that’s okay. This fix was a “mixed bag of tricks,” but I really loved it overall. My stylist, Kimberly (who is amazing and totally rocks!), really listened to my requests and feedback (as per usual).

My “special requests” for this month’s fix were:

  • I am loving the leather trend, and so I wanted to try some leather
  • I wanted to try some coated denim
  • I was looking for something edgy and trendy (I’m feeling dangerous, y’all)
  • I needed a nice dress for my wedding anniversary

I really feeling like Kimberly delivered on my requests… while I didn’t keep everything, I did love what she picked out!

Without further adieu… here’s my February Stitch Fix review:

Level 99 “Charley Zipper Detail Coated Skinny Jean” – Size 14 – $128

Okay, so honestly, pictures do NOT do these coated jeans justice. They are amazing. I pulled them out of the box and loved them immediately. They are a deep purple color and they feel like pajamas. They’re stretchy and gorgeous. I feel so awesome in them. My husband is a BIG fan! 🙂 🙂 Needless to say, these were a keeper.

Yes, they are pricey, but I have wanted coated denim forever and these are so well made I knew they were worth the investment.

VERDICT: Keep!!Level 99 "Charley Zipper Detail Coated Skinny Jean" | Stitch Fix Review

Renee C “Gillie Leopard Print Blouse” – Size XL – $58

Honestly, I was not thrilled about this top. I just didn’t love it… and after putting it on, I definitely didn’t love it. I just wasn’t feeling it. The shirt is comfy and I loved the cut, but I felt like the print wasn’t me… So I returned it.

Kut from the Kloth “Eleni Faux Leather and Suede Vest” – Size XL – $54

I was SO pumped about this vest. I absolutely LOVED it out of the box and once I put it on I loved it even more. My husband was also a big fan…

The price point was right on and I knew that this was the perfect edgy, but versatile piece to add to my closet!

Verdict: Keep!

Brixon Ivy “Sheryl Metallic Dot Detail Blouse” – Size XL – $48

I liked this top out of the box but once I put it on, I just didn’t love it. It felt too boxy and I liked the shoulder detailing… BUT, I know I wouldn’t wear it by itself (I don’t love sleeveless things)…

So, it was a pretty simple “no” decision…

VERDICT: Return!

So this month is our wedding anniversary and John and I are going away for our anniversary and I knew that I didn’t have anything to wear for a fancy date night out… I have NO fancy-ish dresses and so I specifically requested a classic dress that I could wear!

I LOVE the color cobalt blue… it is one of my favorite colors to wear, so I was so excited to see this dress Kimberly picked out for me.

Once I tried it on, I loved it. It is a flattering cut, it’s interesting, it’s classic, and it’s a dress that I can wear to multiple occasions…

So, I kept it!!

VERDICT: Keep!
