With our second baby on the way, I honestly don’t know what I was more excited about: finally sharing the news of Baby Gavin with all of you, or writing a new Maternity Stitch Fix review for the blog! I received monthly maternity shipments from Stitch Fix while I was pregnant with Dessa and they were always such a treat to try on. When I saw the clothes my stylist selected for this month’s Maternity Fix, all of that excitement bubbled right back to the surface and I knew this was going to be a really amazing fix with some really tough choices to make.
In honor of Mother’s Day, I have a few VERY special treats for you this month.

A Little About Stitch Fix
If you read the blog often, you already know a lot about Stitch Fix. But just in case you’re new here, I’ll give you a really quick run-down of what Stitch Fix is and how it works.
Stitch Fix is an online styling service that matches you with your own personal stylist. It’s free to get started and complete your style profile by answering some basic questions about your style preferences, sizes, and budget. Then, when you are ready, you can schedule your first fix. You’ll be charged a $20 styling fee and your personal stylist will hand-pick 5 items just for you. The clothes are shipped right to your door so you can try them on in the comfort of your home. Shipping and returns are free! Keep what you love, and send back what you don’t in the pre-paid mailing envelope that comes in your fix. It’s easy to check out online and provide feedback about each item so that your next fix will be even better. The styling fee is deducted from the price of anything you decide to keep, and if you keep all five items from your fix, you automatically save 25% on your entire purchase at checkout.
Best of all, Stitch Fix offers styling in all regular women’s sizes, along with petite, maternity and plus sizes. They even style for Men and Kids. For a limited time, you can sign up using my referral link and receive $25 off your first Fix! But hurry, the offer expires on May 18 so sign up soon! Click here to get started.
Cora Maternity Blouse
The first item I tried on from my maternity Stitch Fix box was the Cora Maternity Blouse from Skies are Blue Maternity ($54). The thing that struck me about the yellow floral print was how versatile it would be for spring, summer and fall. And since Baby Gavin isn’t due until early October, this was a definite plus.
Since I am so excited for spring, I started by styling the top for the current season. I paired the blouse with my favorite maternity skinny jeans (similar here), a cropped white denim jacket (similar here) and white strappy sandals. I love how the pop of white instantly brightened the look and made it perfect for spring.
RECREATE THE LOOK
Since I knew the Cora Maternity Blouse would also transition perfectly into autumn, I also wanted to style the blouse for the fall. I traded the white denim jacket for a deep purple trench-style jacket (mine is from Stitch Fix – read more about it here) and slipped on my Eggplant Metallic Rothy’s. The entire outfit was transformed by those two simple trades.
I can always appreciate an item of clothing that works for multiple seasons (especially if it’s a maternity piece).
RECREATE THE LOOK
I was seriously tempted to keep the Cora Maternity Blouse, but still had four more items to try on from this month’s Stitch Fix box.
Lerra Smocking Detail Mixed Material Top
When the first item I tried on from my maternity Stitch Fix box was so great, I was eager to keep trying things on and see what else Jenn sent my way. The next thing I tried on was actually a non-maternity piece. The Lerra Smocking Detail Mixed Material Top from Sweet Grey ($54) was an ivory, loose-fitting, sleeveless top.
The Lerra top was a little sheer so I layered my favorite white Old Navy tank underneath and topped it off with a pale peach cardigan with lace detail (also from Stitch Fix … it’s crazy how many of my favorite clothing items have come from this amazing styling service over the years).
I added my silver Kate Spade watch and a blue/gray tassel necklace (similar here) and I love how it coordinated with the light blue tone of my jeans. I also added my Romantic Blush Tieks to add a touch of sparkle. I know I’ve been raving a lot about Rothy’s lately, but I do still love my Tieks (find out why in this blog post) – especially the Romantic Blush. They’re the perfect springtime flat and instantly elevate any casual outfit.
I absolutely loved this entire outfit. It was soft, feminine. light, breezy and oh-so-comfortably chic. I was seriously tempted to keep the Lerra Smocking Detail Mixed Material Top, but when I looked at the clothes in my closet, this was the only outfit I could envision myself wearing with the top. The off-white color didn’t pair well with many of my cardigans so keeping the top just didn’t make very much sense. I decided to send the Lerra Smocking Detail Mixed Material Top back to Stitch Fix, but I loved every moment of trying it on!
RECREATE THE LOOK
Sparrow Striped Two Pocket Cardigan
The off-white top wasn’t the only non-maternity item that came in my Fix this month. Jenn also sent along the Sparrow Striped Two Pocket Cardigan from Pinque ($44). I loved the soft blue and white color combo and also the fact that it was a chunkier knit cardigan than anything I currently own. Most of my spring tops are short sleeve and I love the thought of pairing them with a heavier spring cardigan on chilly days. I layered the cardigan over a white maternity t-shirt, kept on the Kate Spade watch and Kendra Scott necklace and threw on my white Converse Shoreline sneakers. This was the perfect casual spring outfit and I instantly fell in love with the coziness of the sweater. Best of all, I could continue wearing it long after Baby Gavin arrives in the fall. So far, this was my favorite piece from my Stitch Fix maternity shipment this month and it quickly rose to the top of the list of items I would probably keep.
RECREATE THE LOOK
Peppy Knit Maternity Top
Next up was a Peppy Knit Maternity Top from Full Moon ($44). I always love a good floral and I was happy to see that Jenn remembered how much I like light-colored florals when she included this top in my fix. The light pink color was right up my alley and I loved the cut of the top. It also didn’t hurt that the fabric was soft, stretchy and incredibly comfortable.
There wasn’t any need to change my jeans, watch, or necklace. I just tried on the shirt and finished the look with a strappy pair of white sandals. The top was a perfect fit and looked so cute. I really liked the Peppy Knit Maternity Top, but I loved the cardigan more. And since I’ve been trying very hard to keep our budget in mind and only purchase one item from my Stitch Fix box each month, I ultimately decided to return the pink floral top.
RECREATE THE LOOK
Belinda Maternity Skinny Crop Jean
This month’s fix wasn’t all tops and cardigans, my stylist Jenn also sent a dark wash pair of Belinda Maternity Skinny Crop Jean from Liverpool ($88). I discovered Liverpool jeans through Stitch Fix and they are my favorite brand of denim to wear, so I was excited to see a new pair arrive in my fix this month. I tried on the pants with my white maternity t-shirt, the same watch, and necklace I had been wearing, and my Converse shoreline sneakers. It was such a cute and preppy look!
I thought long and hard about keeping the cropped jeans instead of the cardigan, but the cardigan won out in the end. I’m not completely opposed to an $88 price tag on a pair of jeans that I will only wear for six months, but if I’m paying that much money, I need to be wearing those jeans all the time. The jeans were cute, but I’d like to have a pair of cropped jeans in a lighter wash so they look a little more casual and airy. This pair was going back to Stitch Fix, along with feedback for my stylist that I’d love to see a lighter wash pair of denim in a future maternity fix.
RECREATE THE LOOK

Corrine says
I really enjoyed the yellow top. Totally get keeping the sweater though, and I stand behind your self control to regularly keep only one item. I am trying to challenge myself to do that from now on, as well. I hope I can do it!
Maria Gavin says
Hi Corrine, it’s not always easy to only keep one piece, but I find that I have far fewer items that get passed over or buried in my closet because I just don’t love them enough when I only let myself keep one thing.
Amy C. says
The floral Peppy Knit top looked very pretty on you.
Cheryl says
I love so many of these pieces – it would have been hard to keep just one!
Maria Gavin says
It always is!
Diana says
So cute! I love how the light blue of the cardigan gives it a Spring look while still being a thick sweater.

Yes! It’s like the perfect combination for a cool spring day.
Nicole Avilla says
I’m impressed with the price of the sweater! Definitely a steal in terms of stitch fix pricing.

I’m usually temped to keep it all too. Stitch Fix does such an amazing job.

Hi Annie! Thank you so much – it was definitely hard to send that top back. And I keep thinking about my first pregnancy too. So much has changed this time around!

Michele says
I actually really liked the first blouse on you! They are not my colors, but they looked great on you and I loved the versatility.

They aren’t really my colors either. I would have kept the top in a heartbeat if it were light pink or neutral. But I agree that it was super versatile!
Judy says
All great items! Must have been hard to pick one. :-)
Maria Gavin says
It always is!

Kayte CookWatts says

I am curious how you get consists ntly “good” fixes. I’ve been doing them over a year, always provide notes and feedback, and it’s still hit or miss – mostly miss :(
Maria Gavin says
Hi Lynn, I definitely understand your frustration. It can take a WHILE to get into a good groove with Stitch Fix. My stylist changed about a year ago and we definitely had some speed bumps as she tried to figure out my style. Believe it or not, I’ve had a few fixes that were way off too.
You can read more about them here:
https://crazytogether.com/my-stitch-fix-shipment-that-felt-like-it-was-for-someone-else/
https://crazytogether.com/all-pant-stitch-fix-review/
Just keep sending back very detailed feedback as often as possible. Hopefully your fixes will turn around soon.

Maria Gavin says
They were both SUCH great pieces!
Rust says
My favorites are the cropped jeans and the floral top.
Lauren says
I like the skinny cropped jeans.
Christy Peeples DuBois says
I always enjoy your stitch fix post and how you style each piece and why you decided to keep or not keep. I really liked the first sleeveless top you styled so much. However I thought the second top would have gone with so much since it was off white but it wasn’t maternity. I like the cardigan also and would have kept it also but since we are already having 85+ degree days I wouldn’t be able to wear it until fall but I really like it.
Maria Gavin says
Thank you so much for the compliment – I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoy reading my reviews! 85 degrees already! We’re just sitting here in Michigan doing a happy dance when it finally reaches 65 or higher. If I had your weather, I definitely would have chosen a floral top instead.
Tiffany says
Loved the way you styled the yellow top for the different seasons!
Maria Gavin says
Thanks! I always have fun trying to see how many seasonal looks I can create with the same clothing item.
JJ says
The mixed material top looked lovely and seemed versatile- too bad it was sheer. It draped nicely and the detail at the neck brought it up a notch.
Maria Gavin says
I know – it really was a pretty top!
Gabrielle R says
I really loved the skinny crop jeans! I really want to try this out! I’m due in July and my maternity clothes are very limited at the moment.
Maria Gavin says
Oh goodness, I know that feeling all too well! Stitch Fix does a great job of sending items to fit your immediate needs, as well as clothes you can continue to wear later (like nursing-friendly tops.)
Sherry says
Loved the Cora top on you.
SHAYNA says
I LIKE THE CROPPED JEANS :)
Jen says
The peach floral top is my favorite! It looks so comfy and is beautiful on you!
Nicole says
I love the pink peppy T-shirt, it looks comfortable too!
Sarah Champeau says
Love that whole fix!! I think the floral tee is my favorite, with those cropped jeans!
Kim Henrichs says
I really love the Sparrow cardigan!
fran says
Cora maternity blouse
Rebecca B says
I really like the Peppy knit top but would have chosen the cardigan also. I had a hard time through my pregnancies buying clothes that I would wear for such short amount of time.
Maria Gavin says
That is what I struggle with too. But right now, I’m getting tired of the few items I have that are warm enough for cool weather. I need the temps to rise so I can start wearing my maternity dresses and summer tops!
Allison says
Great outfits!
Tam S. says
I definitely love the cardigan! My favorite colors, some texture and a cute stripe! The jeans are my favorite wash, but pricey for maternity jeans that can only be worn for a limited time!
Natalie says
Super cute maternity clothes, wish I had tried it with my babes
Michelle C says
I really like the Peppy Knit Maternity Top, but all of the items are really cute!
Katherine S says
I like floral top best.

I like the silver Kate spade watch
courtney b says
the pink floral top is my favorite!
thanks! xoxo
Dana says
I like the jeans-I can’t imagine it’s ready finding a pair of maternity jeans that look cute.
Maria Gavin says
It isn’t always easy, but Stitch Fix certainly helps!
Melissa Storms says
The Cora top is so pretty and looks great on you with or without the jacket.
Anna says
My favorite was actually your previous eggplant trench. It’s probably my favorite piece you’ve ever received from Stitch Fix she looks so cute with your Rothys.
Maria Gavin says
That trench is one of my all-time favorite Stitch Fix items too :)
Jessica Baker says
Hi! 👋🙂 I loved the blush floral maternity top and cropped pants the best. Your white Converse and watch made all the outfits look super great! You look fabulous! Blessings to you!

Jessica says
Hello! I’m a pregnant mother looking for some comfy last-month-of-pregnancy-clothes. I’m looking into Stitch Fix but I have a very small need. I honestly would just like some pants that are comfortable and cute, maybe a shirt, but I’m really needing pants, especially for summer. I’m a bit desperate at this point because I don’t want to spend a lot (like, $10-20 per item) but I just can’t find cheap, comfy, and cute maternity clothes. I’m toying with the idea of trying a Stitch Fix box but I’m worried it would be too pricey and wouldn’t have the lack of variety I need. Any advice from pregnant mother to pregnant mother?
Maria Gavin says
Try Thyme maternity online! They are reasonably priced (although not as low as you are hoping) and my best-fitting maternity pants have all come from there. I was also happy to discover a maternity consignment store in my area. You may want to do a google search and see if anything comes up.
Cynthia K Lasater says
I’m so glad you kept the Sparrow striped cardigan because it’s my favorite piece in this post. I love how the blue stripe in your Converse sneakers mimic the stripes in the sweater. Perfection!
