I cannot believe this is my 24th Stitch Fix Review. Every box I receive from Stitch Fix has been a joy and I don’t say this lightly, but this was by far my very best Stitch Fix shipment EVER. I told my stylist, Layla, that I will be attending two weddings this summer and requested a few dresses that might be perfect for the occasion. I also asked for a casual maxi dress because I love the last one she sent so much.
Holy cow, did Layla ever deliver! This month’s box included FIVE DRESSES in the most gorgeous colors. She sent dresses for several occasions and I fell instantly in love! Get ready to pin your favorites because this blog post is loaded with some serious eye candy. I’m also giving away a Stitch Fix gift card at the end of this post so you’ll want to scroll all the way down!

Enough chat for now. Let’s dive into this amazing fix!
The first item I tried on was a gorgeous cobalt blue Dixon Scallop Trim Dress from Everly ($64).
My style profile politely asks Layla to please not send v-necks since I don’t usually feel comfortable wearing them. What I love about Stitch Fix is that it pushes me to try things that are out of my comfort level. This dress was a perfect example. I fell in love with the scallops around the neckline instantly and was anxious to try it on despite my general disinterest in anything with a v-neck. I fell madly in love with this dress and it looked stunning with the jewelry from my wedding (which I wear as often as I possibly can.)

I initially tried on the dress with my rhinestone peep-toe pumps.
For a more casual date-night look, I swapped the black pumps for a pair of white jeweled t-strap sandals. I love the carefree summer style that a simple change of shoes brings to the dress!
Speaking of shoes, I have been saving my pennies to buy a new pair and these Silver Screen Tieks are on my wishlist. How fabulous would they look with this dress?!?! I’ve posted a thorough review of Tieks ballet flats if you have been debating getting a pair for yourself.
The next item I tried on was a light green Mitchel Maxi Dress from Gilli ($78). It was more of a turquoise color than light green and I loved the colorblock effect that was achieved with the neutral stripes.
My biggest complaint with maxi dresses is that they often have too much fabric on top and giant armpit holes. I had recently requested that Layla be on the lookout for tops and dresses with smaller arm holes and this was positively perfect.

I wore a mint statement necklace with this dress and it was the perfect accessory. Mine is a few years old, but I found a similar necklace here.
Initially, I was SO excited to have another dress to add to my school wardrobe (just add a denim jacket!) That thought came to a screeching halt when I saw the cutout in the back of this dress. It’s actually a subtle detail and is a flattering cutaway, but probably not appropriate for me to wear while I teach kindergarten in a Catholic school. So this dress will simply be part of my “summer fun” wardrobe. And that’s ok, because it really is gorgeous!
The third item I tried on was the Lex Textured Floral Knit Fit & Flare Dress from Bixon Ivy ($74). The chartreuse and gray color combo was a little bit out there and the texture of the dress reminded me of curtains, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to try it on. I get the most compliments on my clothes when I wear unusual colors and I could sense that this dress had serious potential to be a summer showstopper.
The length was a few inches shorter than I prefer but the dress fit like it was made for me and it was very flattering!
I decided to offset the short skirt by adding a little extra covering with my cropped denim jacket. I love how this transformed the look and draws the eye away from my legs and up toward my face.
Item number four was an Amandine Faux Wrap Dress by Leota ($138). I usually hate any type of wrap dress because I don’t think they look flattering on me and I usually prefer to wear clothes that have more structure than the slinky fabrics that this and all wrap dresses are made of. Stitch Fix always encourages their customers to try on every single item in their fix so I reluctantly wore the dreaded wrap dress.
Turns out, it was pretty great!
The top of the dress was as clingly as any wrap dress I had ever tried on, but the black fabric helped it remain a modest look and I really loved the bold floral print used on the skirt. I especially loved that the skirt actually touched my knees! This may not be my favorite dress of all time, but it looks very professional and will be perfect for evening events at my school.

The fifth and final item included in my fix this month was a navy blue Edmund Pinstripe Dress from Ivy + Blu ($64). This was the lowest-priced item in my fix and it was also my very favorite!
The dress looked great with a nice pair of heels but you and I both know I won’t be wearing those shoes to work. The beauty of this dress is how versatile it is. The navy pinstripe can be an instant staple for a conservative night out or can easily transform into a classic preppy look.
I grabbed my denim jacket, white ceramic Fossil watch and a long silver necklace and was instantly kindergarten chic!
They no longer make my watch, but I have recently purchased a Kate Spade stainless steel watch that would look amazing with this ensemble!
My Ballerina Pink Tieks added instant comfort for facing a long day in the classroom on my feet.
And there you have it! Five beautiful dresses and I decided to keep every single one of them!
The Buy All Discount
As if adding five fabulous new pieces to your wardrobe wasn’t amazing enough, Stitch Fix makes the day even sweeter with their Buy All discount. Anytime a customer chooses to purchase all five items in their fix, they automatically save 25% on their entire order. That means a fix like mine would normally cost $418, but buying all of the items saves me $104.50! Pretty great, right?

What a wonderful fix! My favorite on you is actually the faux wrap Leota – but not by much! Thanks for the giveaway – maybe it will fuel my stitch fix habit ;)
Hi Megan,
That seems to be most people’s favorite!
Hi Maria! I have a question about the Stich Fix…I am in love with the scallop dress…do they ever send you just one specific item? Or is it only based upon what the personal shopper picks out? Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth! You always receive 5 items in your fix and you can request specific items by pinning them to a style board on Pinterest (you provide a link to the board in your style profile). The stock rotates often so the stylists are limited to if they have your size on-hand when your fix is prepared. But it is possible to request an item and have it arrive in your fix :)
I love love love that maxi on you. I’m totally requesting that in my next fix! My second favorite was the vibrant blue scallop dress–so perfect for a wedding.
Thank you Jessica! I love both of those dresses too!
Love all your dresses! The maxi looks great on you! Kind of off topic, but do you love your Tieks? I’m a pharmacist and am looking for some ballet flats that will not make my feet hurt after standing up all day!
Hi Laurie and thank you! As for the Tieks, I absolutely love them! The first pair I bought was Lavender Snake and they were so tight on my feet I had to return them. I decided to try a different style (just a basic pair of mustard Tieks) and the regular ones fit like a dream. I have owned 3 pair of Tieks and they have all been extremely comfortable. I’m not sure why the first pair I tried hurt so much, but shipping and returns are free so it’s risk-free to give them a try!
Do you know of any discounts on the Tieks? I saw the price and just about had a heart attack!
Hi Darlene, you can see why this giveaway was so popular! Tieks rarely offers discounts, but they always have good deals around the holidays.
They all look great! I got the yellow fit and flare bam in May and LOVE it! So comfortable and cute.
It’s such a fun and unusual dress :)
The bloglovin entry isn’t working it seems. Thanks for the giveaway! Great fix!
Thank you for letting me know. I’ll look into the entry option!
those dresses are adorbs! I love the long maxi. And it looks lovely on you. I’ve always wanted to try stitch fix.
Thank you so much!
Love all these dresses! How tall are you? Trying to figure out the length.
Love all these dresses! How tall are you? Trying to figure out the length.
Thank you Kitty! I am about 5’5″ tall and I have long legs for my height. Hopefully that helps!
Hi there!
You look so cute in everything you get from Stitch Fix! What price range are you requesting? I have selected “the cheaper the better” but haven’t been thrilled with my fixes. I want more of what you have.
Thanks!
Libbie
Hi Libbie,
I actually set my price range a little higher. Most items are preferred in the $100-$150 range. It’s rare that I get pieces that expensive, but I want my stylist to know that she can send me a really great dress or blouse regardless of the cost. I don’t want price to be the reason that I miss out on even seeing the good clothes. I can always decide for myself whether or not they are too expensive.
I love them all on you, especially the wrap dress! If you want to make the maxi dress more appropriate for work, you can always throw on a fitted tank top under the dress to “fill” the hole. =)
That’s a really great idea, thank you!
It’s so nice to see another teacher showing outfits they’ve gotten that can be dressed up for evening and more casual for teaching little ones! Hopefully I can use Stitch Fix to find some cute things to add to my wardrobe this year!
I have the maxi too only in navy. I ask teach K and I wore mine to school today. I just put a navy cami under it si the cut out wasn’t an issue.
Love all of these dresses! I’ve had some great ones with SF lately!
Just came across your blog and I just wanted to send you some compliments. I’m a Stitch Fix shopper as well and fairly new to it. I aspire to look as classy, pretty and put together as you are. Bravo! Also the rest of the blog is fantastic as well, keep up the good blogging! You’ve gained a new fan today. :)
Hi! I have been following your blog and am very inspired by all your adorable clothes! I have done a few boxes from Stitch Fix but then was pregnant with my second so stopped (I know they sell maternity clothing but couldn’t justify buying anything when I still had a lot of clothes from my first). I recently ordered a new box so am really excited, especially after seeing your posts! Anyways here is another site you may be interested in-it’s online consignment but it’s in really good shape! I even tried to search for some of the clothing you posted from your boxes but no luck (although I did find most of the brands so may have to just keep an eye out :)) Have you tried ThredUp yet? If so I would love to see some of your reviews or maybe if you sign up you can start posting some of your finds! If you use the link below you get $20 credit on your first purchase! http://www.thredup.com/r/VLTZ6B
I love your Stitch Fix blog! I’m anxiously awaiting my first fix!
If you have a tripod why don’t you use it? Set up the auto feature rather than holding the camera in front of a mirror.
Hi Allie, great question! I actually use the tripod often for many photos. Sometimes I use the timer and other times I use a remote. For my Stitch Fix photos, however, I prefer to take the photos in front of a mirror because I have greater control of the zoom and angle of the photo. I have also noticed that my photos have more personality and “voice” when I take them myself in front of a mirror. It’s an artistic choice that I make and my current method seems to be a great fit for our blog.
Can you tell me the name of the stylist for this Fix?
My stylist was Layla!
Is the everly dress made in the usa?
