Earlier this year, I kept hearing about Stitch Fix on Facebook and my other social networks. So, I confess that I tried this service for the first time back then.

But what intrigued enough to want to try Stitch Fix previously?

Stitch Fix Envelope with Fix Info

Well, I have always loved fashion and shopping. But secretly I always wished to have my very own personal shopper. Still, I couldn’t afford to pay for a personal shopper. So, this seemed like the perfect solution.

While I enjoyed my initial experience, I kept making excuses as to why I couldn’t get another “Fix”.

But then a few weeks ago, I decided that I was going to give Stitch Fix another go. Plus with the holiday season right around the corner, I thought I could find an outfit or two to wear to some upcoming get-togethers. Also, I reasoned that I could have my family gift me one or more of the items I liked, as well.

So, FYI totally recommend to all for possible holiday gift idea for yourself or a fashion forward woman or man in your life. That’s right, they also style men, too!

Stitch Fix Holiday Outfit Ideas

How does Stitch Fix work?

When you first sign up, you begin by taking an in-depth survey about your sizes, your style, and even your pricing preferences. From this survey, your personal stylist sends you 5 items to try in your “Fix”.

What is the fee for Stitch Fix?

The fee for this service is $20, and that includes free shipping and free returns.

What do you pay if you keep any or even all of your “Fix”?

You pay the item prices listed on the checkout screen. Plus as long as you keep any of the items they send you, you get to deduct the $20 fee from the total. BONUS…If you keep all five items, you also get a 25% discount!

My Fix of Clothes from Stitch Fix Stacked

So, let’s see what I received picked out by stylist, Laila in my Stitch “Fix”…

1. Octavia Nina Floral Print Infinity Scarf – $28

I am a huge fan of scarfs, especially infinity scarfs during the fall and winter months. This infinity scarf is a navy blue color base gold, brown and pink embellishments. Absolutely beautiful colors and goes with browns and cream colors perfectly.

2. 41Hawthorn Caulfield Textured V-Neck Pullover – $74

At first this chunky sweater seemed a bit on the larger side to me and wasn’t completely feeling it. But then I put it on the skinny jeans in this “fix” (see below), my brown boots, as well as the aforementioned infinity scarf. What I ended up realizing was I kind of liked the cut and style of this beige, cream colored sweater with the overall outfit.

3. Market & Spruce Careen Dolman Knit Top – $48

This black and grey striped sweater is perfect for leggings and/or jeans. I wore it with black leggings, my grey Ugg Sweater boots and my green khaki army style jacket. Another winning pick as this went nicely with staple pieces I already have in my wardrobe.

4. Lila Ryan Liza Skinny Jean – $98

I have been wearing leggings more and more lately. Yet, I do still like jeans. Skinny jeans seem to be the jeans that I gravitate towards when I do wear them. But it is hard for me to find skinny jeans that fit comfortably as I tend to have a smaller waist but my hips are slightly bigger. These black (almost dark navy blue) skinny jeans fit my waist comfortably and my hips, too. Plus they were cut short enough for the fact that I am on the petite side at 5’2″.

5. BRIXON IVY Lawley Cable Knit Open Cardigan – $68

I saved the best for last, as I soon as I opened the box for this “fix”, I fell in love with this grey, chunky open knit cardigan. So much so that I wore it to a a girls night out cookie swap party. That night I wore it with Lularoe Christmas Leggings. But I also recently paired it  with the Liza skinny jeans and black high heeled boots. The look became a bit more classy and sophisticated. Also, I just love the wide and long pockets of this sweater. Really just so comfy and cozy!

The Verdict on this Stitch “Fix”…

So, I was originally going to send back #2 and #4 is this “fix”. But I ended up keeping all.

My receipt from my "Fix" showing my savings.

I saved $98! I pretty much got the skinny jeans for FREE!

Why?

Because I just couldn’t part with any of these key pieces.

Plus, I basically got the skinny jeans for FREE with a $99 discount for the 25% off discount and the styling credit of $20, as well.

Also, my stylist pretty much nailed it with this box. She got my style completely and even more so than I even initially even realized. I am amazed that someone who never met or laid eyes on me before could figure out what I would like to wear. This is proof to me that the right stylist can really make the Stitch Fix experience worthy for all those naysayers.

    Glad you had such a great Stitch Fix experience! That sweater looks super cozy, perfect for winter. And it does pair very nicely with skinny jeans 🙂

    • Janine says

      Thanks Dara and I am now not sure why I put off trying Stitch Fix again after my first go around. but just so glad I finally did 🙂

  4. Seana Turner says

    My husband got me a gift certificate to this as a birthday present. It is very easy to use, and I like the quality of the clothing. They give you so many options that you can work within many budgets and styles. Not everything fits or works, but it is easy to send back. I’ve got another “Fix” coming next week and can’t wait to see what’s inside!

    • Janine says

      I love that you have tried this too and I am hoping that you get an awesome “Fix” next week now, too. But do agree they make it easy enough to send back and return if some of the pieces don’t work for you still, too 🙂

  5. William Holland says

    I don’t know much about stitches, but I know it’s snowing this morning, so I’m smiling. 🙂 Wishing you a brilliant Monday.

    • Janine says

      LOL, Bill. But the snow is something I hope stays away here for a bit longer as you know I am so not a fan. Happy Monday to you, too now once again!! 🙂

  7. Mary says

    I’ve heard of Stitch Fix, and its always intrigues me. What woman doesn’t want a personal shopper, I know I do. I like the idea of not having to go shopping, sadly I don’t have time to search for clothes nowadays everything is done online and easy, peasy. It looks like Stitch Fix takes it one step future. This would be an excellent Christmas gift for someone.

  8. Nellie says

    I am a HUGE fan of stitch fix and the pieces you chose are so pretty! You look so good!! StitchFix is perfect for building your fall/winter wardrobe.

  10. Sheila Qualls says

    I have never heard of this! I would totally pay for a personal shopper if I could afford it. I HATE shopping so this sounds perfect for someone like me. You look great in your new duds : )

    • Janine says

      Thanks Sheila and I know I would seriously pay for a personal shopper if I could, too. But this is really the next best thing 🙂

  11. Carrie Groneman says

    Janine, you are adorable!!! LOVE the clothing and this idea of FIX is brilliant! I hate shopping and trying on clothes, so this is something I am definitely going to look into. Thanks for telling us about this company!!!

  13. Aunt Gloria says

    I love all the clothes you got! Good additions for the winter wardrobe. And I like the idea of a stylist to help make choices. Great idea for easy shopping for a busy mom. Enjoy the new clothes and the great look! Love, Aunt Gloria

    • Janine says

      Thanks Aunt Gloria and definitely a wonderful idea for all busy moms on the go, who don’t have time to go shopping for themselves xoxo 😉

  14. Christine Carter says

    Omg Janine, you look SO CUTE in ALL of those outfits!! I just love love love them! What an incredible gift and such great additions to anyone’s wardrobe. I’m secretly coveting them all!!

  15. Cynthia says

    Look at you with the AWESOME poses! You’re gorgeous! And while I was reading, I couldn’t help but think how much I wish I knew how to use a sewing machine. LOL. I taught myself to knit, and I can mend a hole about as well as an eight year old (I can do, it, but it looks like an 8 year old did it) but still.
    So in the meantime, what a fun post! That stuff looks pretty awesome. I think you might have a sideline hobby as a model! hehe.
    Have fun!

    • Janine says

      Aw, thank you Cyndi and it was really fun to model these clothes and maybe in another life, I could totally do this. Hugs and have a wonderful Wednesday now!! 🙂

  16. Tamara says

    We’re twins! I’m into leggings and skinny jeans. I have a small waist but my hips got bigger after kids. I like them.. but it requires more thought into dressing. You look good in everything!

  17. Lesli says

    I’ve heard so many great things about stitch fix. This definitely looks like a fun idea. I bet my sister and stepmother would love it as a gift this year. Thanks for sharing your experience!

  18. Jen says

    Every body is doing Stitch Fix these days and I can see why! You look super cute! I love the jeans. I really want new clothes for Christmas, but I don’t want to hit any stores to look for them, so… how about Stitch Fix? YAY!

  19. Meredith Spidel says

    You look so great in all of these items–I’m so glad you kept them all! Stitch Fix is such a win with finding perfect things to spruce up your wardrobe–love it!

  22. Rea says

    Sounds like a great service! I haven’t heard of that kind here in our country. I’ve been shopping online recently because of so many great deals and sales. I’m feeling the holiday season! 😉 I love all your choices Janine! ♥
