The green sweater was sooo soft... But not for the cost!
The tan was nice, but I'm a little too busty for it & you can't really leave it open.
I really wanted to like the plaid open shirt, but the color made it too blah for me... I want plaid to look like plaid

And the black shirt with the green/blue on it just didn't work for my body ... Just not me I guess!
Kinda fun to try, but not sure I will get another fix...though they scheduled it already for 12/11...

I actually really like your flannel, I think it fits you well and kind of looks like a cardigan /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I Spy POPSUGAR Gorjana necklace!

Mine is on the way - 2 sleeveless tops (?!? - I am thinking because on my profile, I market "the cheaper, the better" for price range), 1 button down shirt, 1 skirt and a necklace...I can't see keeping it after I use the $20 credit from PopSugar since I enjoy picking my own clothes!

I have stalked this tread and I think I read EVERY post. I officially have a fix scheduled ... but it isn't until January, because I at least will be though the Holiday season and should have some extra $ to spend on any keepers. I'm using my PS code and so hopefully I like my fix, but at least it's month to month and I dont have to do another fix if I dont want!! This sub. seems to be a little pricey, I did tell them I usually dont spend a lot of money on clothes, did anybody else have luck with less expensive items?

Hello!  If I received my fix Friday, do I return it today (Monday) or do I return it within 3 business days which makes it tomorrow?

I selected "the cheaper the better" for everything, and I'm receiving a $36 scarf, a $58 cardigan, a $34 necklace, a $58 blouse, and an $88 pair of jeans.  It seems like it's less expensive than other fixes I've seen.  At least they included two low-ish priced accessories.  I haven't received my fix yet so I can't speak to the quality of the items yet.

Sundays and holidays don't count. It's on their website under FAQs.

@Dakota750 Well thats "ok" prices but I would sadly never in the near future pay $88 for jeans, but I guess get a $20 credit for my fix but still.

Also, I am on my wits end with trying to reply with quotes today .... I usually use my phone but today i'm using a computer and it keeps not letting me and driving me CRAZY!!

Thanks! I just want to hold on to it for another day, lol. Loved everything but just too pricey for me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I just got my first fix and decided to keep everything. I'll post pictures later but everything was nice quality and it was literally exactly the items that I asked for. I just scheduled another fix for January, but I'm not going to request monthly fixes because that would add up way too fast.

 

[escape]

First fix and I think this could be a really dangerous thing for me! I didn't take pictures, but below is my card. I actually liked everything once it was on.

I only ended up keeping the Malcolm Slub Knit shirt and the Margaret M trousers. Those pants were way out of what I normally pay, but boy did they fit so well! Most of my stuff was a hair small, so I commented away on it. I'm already looking forward to my next one! So much fun!

Got my first fix! I gave it a chance but honestly I don't think they even looked at my profile /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Here's what 'classic,' 'fitted,' pieces 'for work' got me:

And the grand finale...a shapeless cat tank with a collar...

The fits were ok (considering everything was supposed to be baggy) but I'm really sad that I don't like anything because the quality seems good and I love brands like Kensie, etc.

I think your items are pretty cute! =) I really love the red cardigan and the scarf! did you make a Pinterest board for them to look at?

Yeah I went back to check my profile because all of the shirts I got were baggy and I wasn't sure where they got that from; I def put that I preferred fitted clothes and I even did the pinterest board and nothing I had on there was baggy.  Those types of shirts look terrrrible on me, like sacks.  One of them looked exactly like your cat tank but in a solid color and I said I didn't like button ups too.  I did like the skirt and the kensie jeans they sent but I ended up only keeping the jeans since the skirt was dry clean only.  I'm on the fence about doing another; I've seen other people on here get some really cute items but I'm usually pretty cheap about clothes.

oh wow, that sounds horrible, I'm so sorry that you had a bad first experience!! Please keep us updated, I hope everything is fixed!  Just know that usually the first one is hit or miss.. the first box I got, I pretty much hated everything except one top.. but the next one was great!  I'm so sorry /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

So I heard from customer service today, and they were really nice. They apologized, gave me a $20 credit, and offered to send a 6th item in my next fix. I'm not sure if I'm going to schedule another one. On one hand I have a $40 credit that would go to waste if I didn't schedule another fix, but on the other hand I feel like this was inconvenient and a big hassle. I'm not sure if stitch fix is the right service for me, so I might just tell them to cancel my account.

It's not a monthly charge. You just schedule fixes whenever you want /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Also, I've had a missing item before and they simply reduced it from my final total and still gave me the discount. I'm sorry you had this experience with them, but I've gotten some great pieces from Stitch Fix. I think the more feedback you give, the better. Yes, there will be hits and misses, but I have scored some fun things. I also hate shopping, so it's far easier for me to do this than go to the mall that's 30-40 min away. 

 

[Lolo22]

[@]MissKellyC[/@] yeah I have an awesome Pinterest board but none of these pieces resemble anything I have there /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I'm guessing maybe they use an automated key word search of our pins matched to the clothes? [@]flynt[/@] I don't get it either, I'm not really into baggy clothes. The cat tank is totally off the wall IMO because in the open box I specifically put "no youthful prints." Though I know they probably don't read that either, maybe just use key words again. Honestly, I wouldn't consider any of this wearable to work (and it does ask what line of work I'm in) so it's a bust for me. I may keep the scarf, but I haven't decided yet.

Hmm that's strange... Mine was really well put together and very much my style so It seemed like my board really helped! I wonder if it depends on who is styling you?

In general I've found the stitch fix tops tend to be loose blouse style, not form fitting or very tailored.  

But I've always felt the idea of Stitch Fix was to try something new, that you wouldn't normally pick for yourself.  It's true they'll pick stuff that you wouldn't normally like, and you still hate it (it's happened with a few of my fixes), however you might find you like something they picked that you wouldn't normally have picked up in a store.  

It's a discovery service, not necessarily designed to send you items exactly like you already own or have in your closet.

My first fix is arriving in two days! I'm very excited!

Also, it's my understanding you get assigned a particular stylist for each fix? Is the stylist's name included in your fix information and does the stylist stay the same over the months or do they change?

@Lolo22 I loved the scarf! I see what you all mean by the tops being loose. I think that can work for some people but it's not my preference either. 

I did sneak a peak at my fix (I could see the items listed but had to google for pictures) and I'm excited because they seem to have taken the prints/styles I put onto my Pinterest board in account. (Although in one case they did it a little too closely - I had a picture of a short sleeved top with sparrows on it and they are sending me a longer sleeved blouse with swans, both the same shade of blue.) Of course it's all in the actual fit as to whether I keep them or not. We'll see!
