My First Fix
I'm sure my husband was sick of me looking at blogs and watching vlogs about Stitch Fix over the last two weeks while I was waiting for my first fix. I heard about Stitch Fix from one of my high school friends on Facebook and decided to check it out. I looked at the website and it seemed like a great idea. You let someone pick out five items for you to try based on a short style survey and a few weeks later a box shows up at your door. If you are interested in learning more about Stitch Fix check out my post: What is Stitch Fix? 
opened
the box and the items are packaged really nicely and neatly. Enclosed
is a note from the stylist explaining why she chose some of the items
for me AND I really liked that there was a “style card” for each item to
show different ways you can style the pieces – give you some
inspiration. Also enclosed is a price sheet that shows how much each
item retails for and even what the total cost of the entire fix would be
if you kept every item. There is a 25% discount if you buy all the
items in the f - See more at:

Urban Expressions Miah Zipper Detail Hobo Bag, $68 = Return
While I loved the bag, it was just too large for me. The color and details were perfect as well as the fact that you could wear it normally or cross body. I had stated in my note for my stylist that I wanted a large purse, but I don't want a purse that is as large as my torso! Sadly this bag got sent back.
Just Black Adorra Ankle Length Skinny Jeans, $88=Return
These jeans were great! The length, cut and color were perfect, the only problem was that the waist was too loose. It is a mid-rise jean which means that it could work with the large waist, but for the price I want a perfect jean. I asked my stylist to find me a pair of pants that would be great for work and these jeans would be great since they are a black/dark grey wash.
Renee C Gillie Split Neck Blouse, $54=Return
I love the idea of this black polka dot blouse, but it just didn't work for me. The torso was too wide, the shoulders too tight when I took it off it required some maneuvering. This is probably not a problem for most people, but I do have broad shoulder for my frame (which I mentioned in the style profile). My husband thought that the style of the shirt was too old looking for me. I didn't see any problem with the style of the blouse, I think would have loved it if it was better fitted.
Market & Spruce Aleath Heathered V-Neck Dolman Top, $48=Return
Thanks to Stitch Fix I have learned that I do not like dolman tops. While looking up Stitch Fix reviews I saw a lot of people were getting dolman tops and they looked a little weird to me. This concerned me because while I don't mind some bagginess, I do not want baggy arms. I like the tight waist band, but the sleeves are not my style at all. Besides the dolman style this was a very basic top and the only interesting part was the cut which is disliked, so it was returned.
Carmela Benfield Heathered Drape Front Cardigan, $58=Keep
This cardigan was right up my alley. I wasn't sure about the heathered detail, but the arms and shoulders fit perfectly. I also did not have a basic navy cardigan, so I will probably be wearing this a lot. This was a keeper!
I think Lori did very well with picking out items that I would like to wear for a first fix. I may end up having a problem with sizing since I am on the small end of the sizes available. The jeans I was sent were size 0 and the waist was too large and the tops were size XS and they were too wide. Hopefully that just has to do with the style of the clothing I was sent, but we will see in the future. If nothing else, I can get cardigans, jackets, scarves and bags.

To the left is my invoice for my first fix. As you can see the prices are a little high even though I marked the lowest price category for most of the items. My cardigan cost me $58, but with the $20 from the styling fee it only cost $38 which seems like an average price for a cardigan. If I were to keep all five items the discount would help lower the prices to a more manageable price. As you can see the regular price for all five would be $316, but with the discount it and styling fee it is only $222. But I don't think my husband would appreciate me spending $200 a month on five items of clothing, so unless I get an amazing box, I will probably stick to keeping 1-3 items.
My goal for this box was to get one or two items. I ended up getting one and would have gladly gotten the jeans if they were slightly less pricey since they didn't fit perfectly.
Overall I was very happy with the service and I have scheduled a second fix for the end of February. I also have a few friends that will be trying out Stitch Fix in the next few weeks, so I am looking forward to seeing what they get as well.
