Oh happy day. The day this sweet little box arrived on my door.
Let me back up. Stitch Fix. It’s the new hip way to shop! Especially when you’re a mama who can barely make it to the grocery store, let alone browsing racks for clothes to fit your new mama bod.
It’s pretty simple, first, you fill out a style profile. That’s where you get to say if you love lace or neon, tell your secret stats (height/weight/dress size). Then, you schedule the date you want your fix mailed and submit a $20 styling fee which is applied to your purchase so no loss there. Next up, your fix of 5 fancy items gets hand selected for you by your stylist. Based on the items I received, you’d think my stylist and I were besties – she read between the lines and found perfect things for me! She must be a mama too because I specifically mentioned items that were conducive to a postpartum mid section and nursing friendly. Last, but not least, your fab Stitch Fix box arrives and you do a happy dance! A mini home fashion show ensues and you decide what items are required to join your closet. If you keep all 5 pieces you get a 25% discount on the lot … score! If you’ve got something to return you simply pop the go-backs into the provided mailer, pass it off to the postman and complete a simply checkout online. Checkout includes rating each item and giving feedback so your next fix is even more tailored to you.
So, you ask, “Gretchen, do you think Stitch Fix is awesome?” And the answer is, “Why, yes, I do. I really, really do.”
On to the deets of my first fix …
ONE /// I thought this would be my favorite when I opened the box. I mean, stripes? Love! And, super flattering on my belly. Unfortunately, the neckline made this one a return. It just didn’t work for me.
TWO /// Love so much! The color and the cut = perfection! But, the price to wearing opportunities balance was a bit off :( Boo! I may have had a slight moment where I wished I was back at my former office job. This would have made my Monday outfit in a heart beat back then.
THREE /// Uh. I had high hopes for this top because of it’s nursing compatibility, but as you can see by the photo that I didn’t even want to post it was no bueno. Perhaps a smaller size would have helped? I’m not sure. It was super soft though … like pajamas. And when every day wear feels like pajamas, that’s a win.
FOUR /// The scarf, not the shirt is the focus here. I returned this because I’m a scarf whore and already have too many. Quality was lovely though, soft and sweet and the perfect length for lots of wearing options.
FIVE /// WINNER! Ohmygoodness … I have wanted a tribal inspired sweater for many moons. I bought two last winter and ended up returning both because they just weren’t right. This one, it’s right. So right. And the red looks pretty fabulous with my new red lip color if I don’t say so myself.
So, there’s my fix! I’m going to tuck away my pennies and dollars and sign up for another soon! Which is one of the things I love about Stitch Fix; It isn’t a monthly subscription, you schedule your fix for when you want it. Every month? Every week? Every season? You pick!
Wanna Stitch Fix along with me? Sign up here and I’ll receive a referral credit which will make me really happy and I will heart you for life!

i love the cardigan that you decided to keep! when you fill out your profile is there an option of the price range that you usually shop in? i can imagine opening my box and finding five things that i absolutely love….that were out of my price range.
Blair @ wild-and-pre says
yay! we are twinsies! i kept that cardigan too! love it. I also got #2 before and realllly wanted to keep it — but like you, decided not too. wasn't functional enough for me. Also – i kind of love that first striped top on you!!hey — we are taking Q&A for Emily Freeman on #thesamepage's final link up today. would LOVE for you to come leave her a question in the comments. hope you are still enjoying the book! xo

Definitely a good choice on the cardigan!
ThatMamaGretchen says
There is a price option. You can choose from $50 or less all the way up to $200 or more :) For me, it's definitely a treat, comparable to if I went shopping at Nordstrom or something. Quality is great though, so I definitely consider these investment pieces.
That Mama Gretchen says
Twin fabulousness! I'm working on my last #thesamepage post … haven't finished yet, but am thoroughly enjoying every word as I slow poke along :) I popped over with a question though – I'm excited to read her thoughts/responses. Thank you so much for facilitating our little book club – I've loved it! Is another one starting soon?

I just got my third fix. My first two were total busts! I was so disappointed, especially since I had gone in and adjusted my profile after the first. I'm glad I tried one more time, though, because I love everything I got! My only problem is I didn't budget to keep the whole box like I want to! :)
ThatMamaGretchen says
Third times a charm :) Glad you got an awesome box!
Rebekah Amador says
Your hair looks great Gretchen!:D
Lori Crooks says
I just got my third fix – the first was just so – so and the second was great. The third was good too – I just didn't have the money to keep everything I liked! BUT I did your top number two and kept it! I don't have kids and I work in a business environment on a regular basis. I love that sweater! Your fix was great! :-)
Claire says
This sounds so neat! Used your referral link and I'm on the waiting list!
ThatMamaGretchen says
Thanks so much, Claire! I hope the wait doesn't take too long for you! Definitely blog about your fix too — I wanna see what you get :)
ThatMamaGretchen says
Yay! I'm so glad someone out there is rockin' that blouse – so cute!

I've really wanted to try stitchfix, I'm just so nervous about the cost and that I will end up wanting to keep everything
ThatMamaGretchen says
I was a bit nervous too – but I love that the $20 styling fee can be applied to any item. That made me feel like I wouldn't lose. And with not wanting to keep everything … yay, that's an exercise in self-control :) Give it a try though, at least once!
Emily Tucker says
Ah you've convinced me, I think it will be the perfect gift for myself after I have baby boy.

Yay! Totally blog about it — I can't wait to see what you get!

LOVE the sweater! I've been stalking blogs with reviews of stitch fix while waiting for my invite and finally scheduled one for April (because I'm on a strict clothes buying hiatus until then). I can't wait to see what I get!
ThatMamaGretchen says
April will be here before you know it! You'll love it :) I'm also on a budget, but hope to schedule another fix soon!
