It’s that time again! I am so excited to share my April Stitch Fix Review with you on the blog today. It may be April 1, but there are no tricks here – just a really great maternity fix. I’m currently 25 weeks into my pregnancy and incredibly grateful to see any clothes that I can add to my very limited maternity wardrobe. My stylist, Jodi, hit my fix out of the park once again. Jodi specializes in maternity fixes so she has only been styling me for a few months, but I feel like she just gets me and my personal style. I’m so excited to share this fix with you, in addition to another $300 Stitch Fix giveaway once again this month. You’ll want to read all the way to the end of this post so you don’t miss out.
This post contains affiliate links, including my Stitch Fix referral link. We earn a small commission each time someone signs up for Stitch Fix or makes a purchase through one of our links, which helps to support the blog (and our growing family!) I hope you enjoy reading this post as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
How Stitch Fix Works
I know I talk about Stitch Fix referral link on the blog a lot, but if you’re new here, you might be wondering exactly how Stitch Fix works. I’m thrilled to fill you in on the details. Stitch Fix is an online styling service for men and women.
It’s free to sign up. Once you create your account, you will be guided to complete your style profile, which is a series of questions about your sizes, your personal style, and your budget preferences.
When you are ready, you can schedule your very first fix. For a $20 styling fee, you will be matched with a personal stylist who will review your style profile and hand-pick five items just for you and ship them to you for free. You have three days to try the items on in the comfort of your home, with other clothing items that you already own to ensure that they will be a great addition to your existing wardrobe.
After you’ve tried everything on, keep the items you love, check out online or in the Stitch Fix iPhone app and return any unwanted items in the pre-paid shipping envelope that also comes in your fix. Returns are also free and the entire process couldn’t be easier.
Best of all, your $20 styling fee is automatically deducted from your total when you check out. As a special bonus, Stitch Fix offers a 25% discount on every item in your fix if you choose to purchase everything.
A lot of people think that Stitch Fix is a subscription service, but it’s not. You can automate your fixes to arrive once a month (or even more often than that), but it isn’t a subscription by default. When you are ready for a fix, just log in and schedule a shipment. I know many people who only get one box each season or when they have a special event coming up (like a vacation).
Stitch Fix proudly offers plus size and maternity styling, in addition to styling services for the man in your life. It’s truly an amazing service for everyone. I’ve had dozens of regular fixes, a few maternity fixes and my husband has even enjoyed receiving shipments from Stitch Fix men.
Stitch Fix is absolutely my favorite way to shop for clothes and if you’ve been on the fence or wondering about this amazing service, I highly encourage you to sign up and give it a try!
Now that you know a little bit about how Stitch Fix works, let’s dive into my April Stitch Fix review. I can’t believe this is the 47th fix that I’ve received!
Mirabella Maternity Capri Skinny Jean
The first item I tried on was the Mirabella Maternity Capri Skinny Jean from Liverpool ($68). Even though it’s still a little chilly in Michigan, warm weather will be here soon and I appreciate that Jodi was already thinking ahead to the warmer months.
The Mirabella Maternity Capri Skinny Jeans were a great fit. I own many pairs of Liverpool pants from my pre-maternity Stitch Fix shipments and I know these are the kind of pants that I could count on. They were great, casual pants that I could easily style in many ways.
I especially loved pairing the capris with a gray striped maternity t-shirt, a bargain pair of gray tennis shoes, my silver Kate Spade watch and the Perry Street Olivia necklace that came in my Rocksbox. A white denim jacket added an extra layer for cooler days.
RECREATE THE LOOK
Even though the Mirabella Maternity Capri Skinny Jean were a great fit, I ultimately decided to return them. My clothing budget has taken a pretty big hit for the past several weeks and I finally caved and invested in more basic maternity necessities. I only had enough room in the budget to purchase one item from my fix this month.
Medford Maternity Knit Top
When I saw a preview of the Medford Maternity Knit Top from Loveappella Maternity ($48), I wasn’t quite sure what to think. The preview photo made the top look a little boxy and just so-so. I tried the top on and fell in love. It was lightweight with a very soft knit that felt great on. It also looked fantastic with a pair of black maternity leggings.
I love how the Medford Maternity Knit Top delivered such great style, but packed in so much comfort. It’s the perfect type of top for me to wear to work as a kindergarten teacher. It looked great with my Perry Street Olivia necklace from Rocksbox, my silver Kate Spade watch and my matte black Tieks.
People ask all the time about my Tieks and if they are really worth the investment. My answer is always yes (otherwise I wouldn’t own four pair), but you need to make sure that the pair you get is actually a great fit before you decide to keep them. If you’re curious about Tieks, check out this blog post; it has answers to ALL of your questions!
For colder days, this outfit also looks great with a pair of classic black riding boots.
I loved this top and was sooo tempted to keep it. I knew I would get a lot of use from the Medford Maternity Knit Top and it was a great professional piece to add to my wardrobe. Despite that, I knew I was only going to keep one item from my fix this month. Now that it’s April, I’m tired of wearing black clothes and I’m desperate to dress in lighter colors that get me excited for spring (even though it’s still very chilly in Michigan). If it were February, this would have been such a keeper. But since it’s now April, I was ready to send it back.
RECREATE THE LOOK
The Perry Street Olivia necklace was a great compliment to the subtle black and white polka dots of the knit top. I’m pretty sure this necklace is a Rocksbox exclusive item, and it has become such a staple accessory for me. It goes with almost everything I own!
Razi Maternity Aline Dress
The next item I tried on was a green Razi Maternity Aline Dress from Le Lis ($68). This dress is such a great option to work into a spring wardrobe and it was so comfortable!
I’m not generally a fan of v-necks and a sleeveless/v-neck combo isn’t usually the most flattering look on me. One reason I love having long hair (and the reason why I always wear it down) is because it softens my shoulders and neckline for various outfits. The long hair certainly did the trick with this dress.
I always prefer a top with sleeves to a sleeveless option, so I covered up a bit with a white open cardigan from Old Navy. (Make sure you size down – an extra small fit me perfectly!) I also added my Olivia necklace from Rocksbox (yes, I really do wear it this often), my silver Kate Spade watch, and gray tennis shoes because… well, comfort.

I’very been using stitch fix for 4 or 5 months now! So fun!
I kept that same cardigan from my March Fix and love it. The pink looks great in you!
Is yours Pink too? This just became my favorite spring cardigan!
Yes, mine is also pink. It’s identical to yours. :)
The clothes are adorable! I’ve been on the verge of taking the stitch fix plunge.
I get my third Stitch Fix box this week! It’s like Christmas every time!
you look adorable!
I love Stitch Fix! It did take a while for my stylist to get to know my style, but now it is so worth it! It’s great for expanding your wardrobe and putting together wonderful outfits!
The cardigan looks beautiful on you and I love the casual weekend style.
You have much better self-control than I do! I would have kept it all!!!
Thanks Rebecca! It can be seriously difficult not to keep everything, but Rob and I are pretty intense about our budget.
I love that you know your budget and are so strict about finding the one item that works in your fix. The blush cardigan is a great choice!
You always look great in everything you get from stitch fix! I wish it was in my budget to use this service. :)
I wish I could see some more of the clothes before deciding to commit.
Dedicated Stitch Fix customer here for a little over a year! I don’t get regular fixes but adore the experience each time I do! Absolutely adore the cardigan you kept this month. :)
You look great in your maternity pieces Maria! I love that Stitch Fix offers maternity now, and wish they had it when I was pregnant with my kids. You kept such a darling piece, super versatile, and the color is too pretty. XOXO, Elif
I have been a Stitch Fixer now for 8 months. Having so much fun with the service. Maria you look fabulous in your SF maternity pieces. The cardi you kept is a perfect piece and is really nice that you will be able to wear it after having your little sweetie.
Thank you Kay! I’m so thankful that they have cute maternity options!
I love your reviews. I’ve only received one fix. My second is on it’s way. So excited.
Ooooh, that is exciting! I hope it’s a great fix!
I loved it all on you! Wish you could have kept it all. Pregnancy agrees with you. :)
Thank you Stacy! I wish I could have kept it all too!
I’ve only gotten one fix and my second is slated for June. I’m really excited to see what I get!
I’m excited FOR you!
All cute on you. I like the polka dot sweater and the pink sweater. I’ve had 6 fixes but buy a lot of eBay or B/S/T boards
That cardigan and those booties!! LOVE!
It would be hard to send back any of these pieces, they all look great! I’d have picked the cardigan too though. Such a lovely happy spring color.
Everything looks great on you, but the pink cardigan is so versatile with or without being pregnant. Great choice!
i love that you talk about your budget! i married a dave ramsey guy, so this is an important issue to us. we talk about money constantly to make sure we are always on the same page with our budget and financial goals/decisions. but also, we bought, are renovating, and living in a $20,000 house in our small town. we are committed to to our budget and spending carefully in general, but especially on this renovation – my husband is doing all the work himself, and we are being careful to NOT spend more on things like furniture/home decor than we did on the entire house (which would be incredibly easy to do). it can be so frustrating to be around people who don’t have that same mindset. although we are doing well financially, we don’t always have the newest, “best” things. i have to remind myself that we are doing well BECAUSE of our budget and financial goals, and that our dedication will continue to serve us well…..because sometimes i just want to spend $3500 on a beautiful piece of furniture from pottery barn :)
Kayla, your comment is music to my ears! You and your husband sound so much like Rob and I! We are always talking about money too. ALWAYS. And it helps us stay in track. I love that you bought andcare renovating your home (it’s my dream to find a perfect house and renovate it, but we will probably have to budget for a contractor because Rob won’t be up for that kind of big pr
… project). I know how frustrating it can be to keep your budget in check when you want all the pretty things and I am right here struggling with you on that one. Even if you bought all the pretty things to fill your house, we both know you would just want more stuff. You are going to love that finished house so much and I’m certain it will bring you so much contentment when it’s complete!
Stitch fix is so fun. I’ve had pretty good luck using them.
I love that blush pink!
I love all of the fashion you show in this blog. I’ve been following your blog for a year and have been in love with stitch fix. Thank you! Congrats on your baby. I have three kids. Each time the Bella band saved my life with my non maternity pants.
Thank you for your sweet comment! I have a Bella band and tried using it a few months ago. It sort of slid around and didn’t quite work the way I had hoped. Now that my bump is substantially larger, maybe I should and give it another try!
Just started reading and you’re so encouraging in finding a personal style – something I’ve really struggled with! Thanks for showing us it’s easier and more manageable than we think :)
I have a Stitch Fix account, but have never had a box shipped to me. My husband and I are debt snowballing so buying new clothes is a want, not a need, for now!
I know the struggle between wants and needs very well. Keep snowballing and Stitch Fix can be your reward when you are finally debt-free! (Or a special treat if you win the giveaway).
I loved my first box so much that I bought everything!!
That’s always the best kind of fix!
I love the dress and the cardigan!!! Great fix!
Hi Maria! The blush cardigan outfit looks fantastic on you!! Perfect choice! :) I’ve been a Stitch Fix customer for two years, I think!! :D
I just received my 4th stitch fix in a year. I was a little disappointed. I asked for a couple fun tops for a trip to Vegas and everything I got was so plain and boring ☹️
I love the blush cardigan! I had good luck with the 2nd maternity fix I received and kept everything. I’m due July 24, just a little after you. I am going to try to hold off with another Fix until after baby, though…unless I win! :)

I’ve been a Stitch Fix customer for about a year and a half – love it!
I love that dress! Beautiful!
Very cute! You are so much better at styling these things than I am. :) As someone else mentioned (or a few), I appreciated your budgeting comment. Because StitchFix is part of the reason I had to take FPU and is part of my reward once I pay things off. :)
I love the cardigan and the black top. But you’ll get more wear out of the cardigan.
My thoughts exactly!
Love the open knit cardigan, perfect for spring!
I haven’t tried it yet! I first heard about it when I was pregnant with my daughter almost 4 years. I thought I would wait til I was back in regular clothes. I’m not sure they offered maternity at that time. Then life happened and I had our son in Nov! Since I already had a maternity wardrobe from the first time I really didn’t need anything. Now I am about down to pre-baby shape & ready to give it a try!
I have been a Stitch Fix customer for about two years now. I wasn’t that impressed for the first year or so, but the stylist I have had for the last three fixes has been fantastic! I have that same Market & Spruce cardigan in gray and it is my absolute favorite!
I have been a member of Stitch Fix for about 3 years now! Unfortunately, I can only afford seasonal fixes but I LOVE them so much!
Oh I LOVE that cardigan!!
I love stitch fix! I’ve been a customer, about 4 years. I took a long break in that time, got some more last year and now am taking a break again because my budget can’t handle it at the moment. I plan to jump in again though once things are on firmer footing!
I love stitch fix so much and I love reading your blog!!
I tend to be more an in-person shopper, but the few times I’ve done Stitchfix, it was fun. I love those tan booties – such a pretty brown.
I’ve been getting fixes for a little over a year. I love seeing your maternity items since I’m about 8 weeks behind you!
I have received 5 fixes and currently have mine on hold because I am pregnant and didn’t want to do the maternity fixes. I like to shop bargains for my maternity clothes since I won’t be wearing them long.
I’ve been using Stitch Fix for a year and a half. I’ve gotten 12 fixes!
I love stitch fix!! I’ve been using the service for about 6 months. I look forward to my box each month!!
I’ve never tried Stitch Fix, for a couple of reasons. My weight has been fluctuating the past few years and I currently wear plus size which they didn’t used to carry. It sounds like they’re offering that now so I’m excited to try. Also, I didn’t care about fashion or clothing until last fall. I was feeling really self-conscious of my body so I decided I should dress nicer in order to feel better, and it’s been helping… so now I care about clothes and would love to try Stitch Fix. :)
I don’t know how you manage o look onl one thing! Every time I get a fix I want to keep everything. My stylist is amazing!
Sometimes it takes a LOT of self control, especially when you’ve got a really great stylist!
I’ve been a SF customer for about 3 years. I usually keep 1-2 pieces in each Fix, have yet to have one that I love all 5!
I just had my one-year anniversary as a Stitch Fix subscriber! Love it!
I think I’m going on 3 years now, but I only do it on demand, not monthly. Love it!
Adorable stitch fix box to get ready for spring!
I’ve been getting fixes for about a year and a half. It’s usually seasonal or for special occasions.
Just got my first box last week. Love seeing your reviews!
I’m newer to SF and working to replace my wardrobe after having 3 kids and doing nearly no clothing shopping for 6 years! SF makes it fun and easy to do. :)
Oh my! After 6 years without new clothes, you definitely deserve to treat yourself with Stitch Fix! I hope you’re having a lot of success with your fixes.
You are looking so good. Have fun dressing that bump! BTW, Stitch Fix is amazing. It’s like my secret store where clothes are so fun and fit me!
Thank you so much Emily! The bump keeps growing and it’s always a challenge to dress in a way that makes me feel confident about my recent “expansion”. And I completely agree that Stitch Fix IS amazing!
I love this box and I love what you chose to keep. I also really respect how you keep right in your budget, you knew you could only chose one and you stuck to it.
Thank you Holly! Rob and I take our budget very seriously. I’m very much in the habit of making difficult clothing decisions because I know I can’t afford it all.
I always look forward to your updates and new fixes!
I’m glad to hear that Lisa!
I am debating about trying stitch fix.. Mostly because of the cost.
You are seriously beautiful in everything you try on.
You are too sweet! Don’t be fooled too much… I always try to look my best in Stitch Fix day. Other times I look like a hot mess!
