The first of the month has arrived and so has my February Stitch Fix review! I’m sure you love consistency as much as I do so I’m pleased to announce that I will be sharing a Stitch Fix review on the first of every month here at Crazy Together. As much as I love consistency, this month’s fix was a change-up. My regular stylist, Layla, was unavailable to style this fix, so Jen stepped in as my “guest stylist” (that’s what I’m calling her anyways.) The stack of clothes Jen sent had a lot of potential and I was eager to try them on.

This month’s review also includes a $50 Stitch Fix gift card giveaway and a link-up for other Stitch Fix bloggers to share their latest fashions. You’ll find both of those items on the second page of this post.
Abrielle Color Block Sweater
The first thing I tried on was the Abrielle Color Block Sweater from Market & Spruce ($58). I knew I loved it as soon as I saw the soft mint stripe. I never would have thought to mix mint with cream, black and gray; the combination totally works!
I have a mint statement necklace (similar here) that matches almost nothing in my closet. I was so excited to finally have an opportunity to wear the necklace.
Initially, I decided to play with the dark stripe across the top of the sweater and balance it out with the Emer High Waisted Tall Trouser pants from Margaret M that came in my 16th fix. I also sported my Matte Black Tieks to keep the look casual. If you’re curious to know more about Tieks, you should take a look at my honest review.
This outfit would be perfect to wear to work in my kindergarten classroom. It’s comfortable and casual but still looks professional.
What I love most about this sweater is how easily it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. While a professional spin is great during the workweek, my preferred weekend style is much more relaxed. Luckily, Jen also included a great pair of jeans in this month’s fix. (More on those in just a minute, but first I have to finish gushing about this sweater).
The casual combination of the sweater and jeans perfectly suited my style and made me weekend ready.
Briley Skinny Jean
Ok, let’s talk about these jeans. Before she styled my fix, I let my stylist know that I was finally going to bite the bullet and purchase some booties. I requested a new pair of jeans that would look great with my new booties. Jen saw my message and included the Briley Skinny Jean from Level 99 ($108) in my fix. The jeans were a perfect fit. Not too tight, but flatteringly slender.
They also happened to look great with the new Dream Pairs boots I purchased on Amazon for a steal.
I cuffed the pant legs slightly to style them with the booties.
Without the cuffs, these jeans are the perfect length to wear with a simple pair of flats like my Matte Black Tieks. This will be a great look in the next few months when we finally begin to transition back into Spring.

Jardina Cable Knit Open Cardigan
Do you ever peek at your fix before it arrives? I never used to, but ever since I downloaded the iPhone app, I can’t seem to help myself. I was really excited to try everything on in my fix except for one item – the Jardina Cable Knit Open Cardigan from En Crème ($68). It looked oversized in the photo and oversized isn’t really a style that I go for. I like my clothes to be tailored, trim and neat.
This was a whole lotta sweater and I wasn’t really sure how to style it at first.
Knowing I had to wear it with something, I went into my closet and the wheels in my head began to spin as soon as I saw the Alessandro Silk V-Neck Blouse from Amour Vert For Stitch Fix that came in my 32nd fix.
I threw on a black statement necklace (similar here and here) along with my black Chelsey Fossil watch and new black Toms wedge booties.

Sometimes the fun of Stitch Fix is just trying something new to push your style boundaries a little out of your comfort zone. I didn’t choose to keep this sweater, it was exciting to experiment with a new style and I’m happy that Jen took a risk and sent it my way.
See the Rest of My Fix
Now you’ve had a peek at the first three items in my fix, you really need to see the two remaining pieces. They’re gorgeous! I’m also giving away a Stitch Fix gift card and there’s a link up for you check out more February fixes from across the blogosphere. Click the image below to see the rest!
What a great fix! I think I pinned almost everything in your post for my stylist. Thanks for another great link up.

I’m not crazy about that oversized sweater either! Everything else is awesome. I love those TOMS booties too. I’ve been wanting a pair of grey ones and you are making me want them even more…
Hi Jessica! I adore the Toms booties too! If your budget is tight, the Dream Pairs are also a really great similar option!
What color of the Dream Pairs do you have? Did you find they fit true to size or did you order size up? Want to buy them and they have free returns right now! But I have narrow feet so I need advice :) Might want those tan ones and the black! Don’t think I can afford those Tom ones right now
I shared your review on Stitch Fix Reviews today :) https://www.facebook.com/stitchfixreviews/
Oh WOW, thank you Kerri! I really appreciate it!
Great fix! Love the navy blazer! Also, you take the most captivating pictures! I need to break out my Canon camera! :)
Hi Tina and thank you! I’ve stood in front of my mirror dozens of times so i have just sort of figured out what works through trial and error :)
I loved your fix! My favorite was the green blouse!!
Are the Briley jeans high waisted? I love how well they fit you and might have to try them!!!
Hi Shazia, I know that blouse is gorgeous! I’m not usually one for jewel tones but even I have to agree with you. The jeans are pretty high waisted. They just barely cover up my belly button and they are super-comfortable, unlike my other skinny jeans.
I love what you got this time, Maria!
I have a link to your post in my blog post but it wasn’t accepted. I hope you’ll approve it.
Hi Paula! I think your post got stuck because it was missing the link up image. If you add that into your post, I’ll be able to push it through for you :)
I added the picture and it worked! Thanks so much for the link-up for fellow Stitch Fix lovers!
Did your year stylist sign her card as JenM? That is who I have and love! It was a great fix!
No, she just signed it “Jen”. But I’m happy to know that there are 2 amazing stylists named Jen out there!
Thanks for sharing. You’ve been doing this a long time! Just waiting for my second Fix now :)
I hope it’s a great fix!
I love that blazer. I just got my second fix and I’m kinda bummed about it. I got a different stylist from last time and I don’t feel like she listened to me. I’m going to have to request that blazer though.
I’m so sad that you had a disappointing fix! If you really want your first stylist to style for you again, you can add a request for your next fix. Hopefully you get the blazer!
I always love your stitch fix posts! I have two questions. 1. In your style profile did you select mostly business casual wear? 2. How do you request a different stylist or one by name? I’ve received two boxes now and they haven’t keyed into my style yet. I’ve kept one item so far from each box so it hasn’t been a complete bomb but I’m a little frustrated. I have a very colorful and specific Pinterest board and I get nothing like what I pin. Advice?
I love that green top you got! I pinned it to my style board and I hope it shows up in a future fix! :)
Hi Maria! I’m going to have to stop looking at your Fixes before mine arrive, or I fear my stylist, Liberty, may ban me from your site ;). You really do get some awesome pieces though!
I’m on the fence about buying a pair of Tieks. I love how they look and the reviews are outstanding but wow, are they pricey, even for me! I’m debating between a pair of Tieks and a pair of new the travel/packable Tory Burch flats. Have you seen those or know anyone who has them? I’d love to hear a comparison from an actual owner of both.
Have a great day and thanks for sharing your great finds with all of us :)

What would you think of a similar service but with pre-owned clothing at much cheaper prices, more like an average of $10-$15 instead of $55.00?
I have tried a few times to link up, but can’t seem to get it to work. My blog definitely has your link and your button, but for some reason the site doesn’t want to recognise it. :(
I loooove those booties! I also liked the oversized sweater. I think that because you are petite, something more fitting does more for your shape. I have a feeling I’ll be reading tons of your posts for items to request in my next Fix. :)
All of a sudden I’m hearing about Tieks everywhere. Are they worth the splurge? Do they have decent support? I love a great flat.
Hi Emily! I’ve been wearing Tieks for a few years. I personally love wearing them and I think they are worth saving up for. I don’t need a lot of arch support so I can’t give a strong testimony in that area, but I’ve never had an issue in that area. I will say that I have found the basic leather Tieks to be much more comfortable than the fancier printed or patent leather styles, but that’s just me. The other ones have felt too tight on my foot. The one exception is my Lovestruck pair – those are hands-down the most comfortable pair I have ever owned!
I was looking for a really good pair of flats that were cute as well. I ordered the Tieks but wasn’t that impressed. They may fit some people well but weren’t that comfortable for me. =(
Maria, I’ve had SO MUCH FUN looking through your Stitch Fix reviews. I’m a new Stitch Fix fan (just got my first one last week and am already looking forward to the next) and one of my favorite things to do while I’m waiting for my next box is to check out other bloggers’ fixes to see what they request and receive. I’ve made an “oh, wow!” face at every single one of your fixes! Your stylist seems to know you so well. Also, it helps that you do an awesome job styling the pieces you receive. Looking forward to your next review!
Hello CJ and thank you so much for your sweet comment! Stitch Fix reviews are my absolute favorite kind of blog post to write and I’m actually working on my newest review today. It will go live on March 1, so be on the lookout! I know the other bloggers love linking up their styles on the blog too and I hope you have found some new favorites along the way :) And yes, I agree that Layla does, in fact, know me so well!
Hi Maria, I just received the Sylvester Split Neck Blouse by Brixon Ivy and I’m trying to figure out if it’s the size based on how it’s supposed to hang. Yours seems to hang perfectly. Would you mind sharing what size you have? I have a small now. Thanks for your review, it’s really helpful!
Hi Julie, mine is a size small. I find that blouses from Stitch Fix always have room to spare and I think every one I own is a size small. (But I checked and the Sylvester blouse is a size small for sure.)
