Getting my Stitch Fix



I have been too busy (aka lazy) to blog this last month. So, I thought I would jump back in today with the bee that I currently have in my bonnet. Stich Fix has been a passing thought until seeing a couple of Facebook "friends" post their thoughts on how much they love it and how perfect it is for their style. Well this, of course, means that I must try it TODAY! 

From what I gather, Stitch Fix is an online personal shopper that has a sort of fashion algorithm to figure out the perfect clothes for each person that joins. They have stylists that put together outfits and accessories specifically for you and you are shipped a new box every month. Buy what you like, ship back what you don't. The longer you participate, giving honest feedback about what you like and don't like in the boxes, the more specific to your style they become. 

Although skeptical (as I am of everything) I think I am going to give it a whirl. I am tallish (5'7), fairly flat chested and carry most of my weight between by waist and my knees. Don't I sound gorgeous after that description?! So that means basically any top (other that a strapless top) fits me easily while getting the right fit from the waist down can be a challenge. I am convinced that most of the fitting models for stores are 11 year old boys or girls with no hips, thighs or rears. Although, that is a different soap box for another day.  

I am so green on this topic that I am not even sure of the cost. I think it is a $20 upfront and the clothes cost anywhere between $30 and $100. One of my friends who is a major penny pincher, and not at all a label whore like I am, loves it so that gives me confidence it is a good find. 

So as soon as I convince myself to jump off this cliff I will fill out my fashion survey and dive on into what I hope is not the Columbia Tape & Record Club for clothes. Will keep you posted on the good, bad and (hopefully not) ugly of it all.

This short article was helpful and convinced my to try it. If you want to know more, it explains Stitch Fix much better than I did.
