I've discovered a new love! I have to start by saying that I have never subscribed to any of the super popular subscription boxes before. I have certainly been tempted by boxes full of makeup, healthy food, dog toys, etc. I won't rule out any of those boxes for the future, but my first subscription box was to Stitch Fix. I complimented a friend on her outfit and she casually told me "Oh thanks, it's all Stitch Fix." I really wasn't sure what this was, but I knew I needed to find out. My friend explained how it worked and I figured, why not? I'll give it a try! I signed up about a week later and shortly thereafter my first Stitch Fix arrived on a Saturday when I was cleaning my toilets and scrubbing by showers. The doorbell rang and I went to see who was there. I found a beautiful tan box with a striking aquamarine logo on my doorstep! I picked it up and scampered off to try things on-forget cleaning. I have to say, there is nothing quite like opening a box of clothing that someone else has picked out for you and knowing you don't have to keep it, but it's so fun to see what they found for you and sent to your house! Here's how it works: You sign up on Stitch Fix and fill out a style profile so that they know what you like. You get to put in your clothing sizes, whether you are shapely in certain areas, how you like your clothes to fit, and they show you several outfits and you can rate them so that they can get an idea of your style. You pay a $20 styling fee but you get that back when you purchase an item from your box. There is also an option to write a note to your stylist. I took that opportunity to tell them what I was looking for at the time. My first Stitch Fix Box was so fun. I really enjoyed taking that break from my day and trying on clothes that showed up on my doorstep. Here's a pic of the stylist card from that order:

They gave me ideas on how to pair the items they sent.

Now I was kind of picky with this order and it wasn't 100% what I was looking for at the time but I ended up keeping the halter top in the top right corner. It's really cute, the fabric is great quality and I've gotten tons of compliments on it. I sent back the other items with some hints to my stylist. Then she pretty much hit a home run with this next order. Here is the cute note she sent me with order number two:
Jessica knew I was looking for the perfect pair of distressed jeans and also that I loved the polka dot top she sent in the last box, I just didn't care for the bow on the back. I gave her access to my Pinterest Fashion board also where I pinned clothing items I liked.
Here is what Jessica sent me this time:
I love these distressed denim boyfriend jeans! I could have gone for a bit more distressing, but I tried these on and the fit was so perfect, and they were so soft and comfortable, I knew I had to keep them! Should I cuff them more or less than this? I never know!
I adore the detail in the top of this blouse and the fit is very flattering! It's so unique and she just happened to send me my very favorite shade of blue!
This maxi dress must be made of feathers from the wings of baby angels it was so soft! I love the pattern and the color. I do wish there was a little more detail in the top like maybe some embroidery or a v-neck. I also think the waistline hit a bit high on me and didn't look the greatest, but I still think it's a beautiful dress!
This is where she missed the mark a little. She knows I like polka dots and blue, so this would seem like a great choice, I certainly can't fault her there. I was disappointed when I tried it on and the neckline just seemed weird to me. Also, the dots were a bit close together and they kind of hurt my eyes to look at! I'm sure she'll find the perfect polka for top for me in the future though. That's what I like the most about Stitch Fix, you don't have to keep everything and you can always try again!
Finally, this layered necklace was a definite keeper. I can wear it with lots of different outfits for different occasions.
I was really happy with this Stitch Fix and I look forward to getting that box of clothes delivered to my door each month!
