It's that time again! My 46th Stitch Fix box has arrived (46 – can you believe it?) and I am so excited to share another Stitch Fix Maternity review on the blog with you today. I'm currently 21 weeks along and some of my non-maternity shirts are looking a little too snug over the growing baby bump. I was overjoyed to see several tops, a pair of pants, and even a cute purse in my fix this month. I'm also teaming up with several other bloggers to bring you a $350 Stitch Fix gift card giveaway at the end of this post. Are you ready to read all about it?

Coroa Maternity Split Neck Blouse (Return)
I wear blouses to work in my kindergarten classroom on a regular basis so I was thrilled to see that my Stitch Fix stylist, Jodi, had included a the Coroa Maternity Split Neck Blouse from Paradigma ($68) in this month's fix. This particular blouse was soft, lightweight and perfect for layering. It was also white with a subtle neutral geometric print, which would make it perfect for the transition to spring. I loved that the maternity blouse was plenty long in front with even more length in the back for extra coverage and modesty.
Even though the blouse will be perfect for spring, it was easy to incorporate the top into a cold weather outfit. Charcoal gray maternity leggings and tall black riding boots helped to keep my feet and legs warm; while a denim jacket, silver watch and simple necklace kept the look light and airy on top so it didn't look too bundled up.
When I saw a preview of this blouse in my Stitch Fix app, I was beyond excited and so sure that I would end up keeping it. The one problem that I didn't anticipate was how large it would be. My stylist sent a size small, but I felt like I was swimming in fabric when I tried it on. The denim jacket certainly helped to give me my figure a little definition and shape, but I couldn't count on always layering a jacket on top. I felt like Mandy Moore's character in This is Us while she was pregnant with triplets when I wore the blouse by itself. It might be perfect for someone near the end of her third trimester, but I wasn't going to be ready for that much blouse for a long time. Needless to say, I decided to return the Coroa Maternity Split Neck Blouse.

Moran Maternity Mixed Material Knit Top (Keep)
The second item I tried on from my March Stitch Fix box was the Moran Maternity Mixed Material Knit Top from Full Moon ($54) and this one gave me all the heart eyes! I love lightweight flowy tops with feminine details and my stylist, Jodi, absolutely nailed my personal style when she sent this top my way. It had everything going for it: neutral colored, slightly fitted but not at all clingy, and plenty of room for me to grow into.
This top was easy to style and fun to dress up. I pulled on the Liverpool stretch jeans that came in my first maternity fix (they have enough stretch to still fit at 20 weeks even though they aren't maternity jeans); my silver Kate Spade watch, an inexpensive tassel necklace and some black Ghillie flats. The finished result was comfortably stylish and chic. The Moran Maternity Mixed Material Knit Top was absolutely a keeper!
RECREATE THE LOOK
Peralta Pullover Maternity Knit Top (Return)
I was so excited to see a casual knit top coming in my Stitch Fix box. Especially a knit top with an olive green stripe. (Because, let's face it … olive is practically a neutral.) Unfortunately, the Peralta Pullover Maternity Knit Top from Page VI for Stitch Fix ($54), was a little more shirt than I anticipated. Literally.
Much like the split neck blouse, this shirt really wasn't flattering on a body that was only half way through its pregnancy. It might look much better on me once I'm well into my third trimester, but right now, it isn't what I need at all. Even the cut of the sleeves was too generous and the underarm area sagged from the cut of the shirt. I was so disappointed because this shirt was very soft and could have been so wonderful if it was just a bit more tailored and in a more flattering cut.
Since I felt a little like I was drowning in stripes, I needed a way to offset the loose-fitting top. I'm a firm believer that only one part of your body should feature loose-fitting clothes. Since the top was so baggy, I opted to tailor the look with my non-maternity Liverpool stretch jeans. I also added a heeled pair of brown booties to lengthen my legs. Even though the shirt was a bust, I'm pretty excited that I was able to style it in a way that made the oversized strip top much more functional. Despite the fashion win, I decided to return the Peralta Pullover Maternity Knit Top.

See the Rest of My Fix
With three pieces down, I still have two great pieces to show you in my March Stitch Fix Maternity review – including another keeper! I'm also thrilled to join a few other Stitch Fix bloggers in another $350 Stitch Fix gift card this month. Click the image below to see the rest of my fix, as well as your chance to win.
I love the tops and can see that they would work as non-maternity also!
what’s the panel like on the just black jeans? is it a full belly panel? they do look great on you {and I’m obsessed with that floral blouse you paired with them} but the stretching and sagging only gets worse as your belly gets larger and your waist no longer exists.
The jeans have a full belly panel that I have been folding down. Now that I actually have a noticeable bump, I’ve been pulling the panel all the way up so that there’s more surface area with a snug fit to help keep them pulled up. I’m so sad to hear that the sagging gets worse with time! I figured the stretched panel would provide a little resistance and help keep them pulled up!
I would love to try some new dresses for work from Stitch Fix!
I would ask for jeans. My office just changed the dress code and we’re allowed to wear jeans every day now. I need to stock up
That sounds heavenly. I would love an excuse to stock up on jeans!
I would love to request the mixed material top that you purchased- I wonder if they have it in a non-maternity version!
I’m not sure if it does, but you should pin it either way. It makes a GREAT non-maternity top.
I love those green jeans on you! If I win I would love to request a non-maternity pair in that color!
Looking great, Maria! Wishing you and Rob the best in this new phase of your life! If I win, I’m thinking casual dresses and a fun spring bag:)
Thank you so much, Colleen! I’m dreaming of cute casual dresses right now too :)
Maria, You are looking lovely! :) I am so happy for you. I am a stitch fix customer, and I do love the service. I have taken a break from it, and I’m ready to start back this month! I fall in between some of their present large sizes and the smaller plus size sizes, so I am updating my profile, and will see what I get! Because of some mobility issues, I have put on some weight, but with physical therapy, exercise, and watching my diet I hope to reduce some, but, at the same time, I want to feel good about myself NOW!! :) So, I am looking forward to my next stitch fix box…. and would ask for some pretty floral tops, cropped pants, skinny jeans, leggings! I enjoy your blog!
Thank you so much, Beth! I hope that Stitch Fix’s new expansion into plus sizes will suit your needs! You absolutely deserve to feel good about yourself now and it’s amazing how special clues can do that for you. Best of luck with your physical therapy and lifestyle changes.
I’m really impressed with this selection – very feminine looking! I find the most flattering maternity shirts are the ones which have side ruching, they look much snugger but actually accentuate the bump while also hiding any back or side bumps. My biggest issue with maternity tops was them being too short! I have a long torso and it was hard to find tops long enough for third trimester. I also never found a pair of over-belly jeans which stayed up before third trimester, I just bought jeans one size bigger and used the hair tie trick (loop around button and through button hole) for my first 2 trimesters. This sounds like an interesting service, I hadn’t heard of it before, thanks!
My wardrobe needs a complete overhaul, but at this point I probably need some versatile dresses the most.
I would love some new Spring pieces from SF!
I would ask for a sundress and some shorts and tanks. Have a big summer vacation planned and am in need of some new clothes to match the adventure!
Oooh, how fun!
Love your maternity stitch fixes!
I’m so glad to hear that Lauren!
I would love to try some colored jeans and a great new colorful purse!
Love your maternity style! I love stitch fix but our budget doesn’t often allow for a box. If I could schedule another order, I’d specifically ask for tailored blouses.
I hear you about the budget limitations. I’m only keeping one item from my April fix because we have a tight budget around here right now too!
I think I’d ask for shorts and casual tops!
I love your maternity fixes. Mine have been just so-so, perhaps because I only do a fix a season. Since I am due in less than a week, I would request transitional pieces to flatter a post-partum body as I lose the baby weight.
I’m so sad to hear that you didn’t love your maternity fixes! Sending prayers and well wishes for an easy delivery – enjoy that new addition to your family when it arrives!
I am dying for a good chambray shirt!
Me too!!! You’ll have to let me know if you finally find one!
I would request casual and preppy pieces.
If I win, I would get new summer dresses! And some “athleisure” shoes – is that the correct term?
Yup, “athleisure” is definitely the correct term!
If I won I would request sme new jeans and corduroys, and some casual tops.
I would love some new springy tops from Stitch Fix. As a new mommy, my old clothes just don’t fit quite the same yet.
Congratulations on the newest addition to your family!
Love the green pants.
And I would request a new spring purse in a fun color.
I would love to get an off the shoulder top and spring dresses.
What a great fix! Love those green pant — I would love some colored jeans :) Plus, I’m always looking for new dresses. Really, what wouldn’t I ask for?!
Yes! My list of item requests is SO long… cute flowy tops, distressed jeans, cute capris, spring dresses with sleeves for a little extra coverage… the list goes on and on!
If I won this giveaway I’d be requesting some colorful cropped pants or skinny jeans and fun printed tops for summer! I live in MS, so it’s already in the 80s here!
Oh my gosh! Loved them all, makes me wish that I could wear maternity clothes even though I’m not pregnant!! haha
I’ve been loving stitch fix so $350 would be glorious, crossing my fingers so I can finally splurge and get a pair of jeans! I’ve been trying to hold back because of the $88 price point on most brands!
LOL, about the maternity clothes! Stitch Fix certainly has sent some really beautiful pieces my way. I get it about the $88 price points. When you do choose to invest in a good pair of jeans, you won’t regret it!
I just signed up! So excited! I would love dresses and flat sandals.
Love seeing the maternity options! I’m about 10 weeks behind you and am enjoying seeing what’s to come!
So much fun! Just wait until you feel that baby move – coolest feeling ever. This little one has been moving for two weeks and I feel it more often ever day.
You look amazing!
I would love to see pieces that can add a feminine touch to an outfit without going overboard!
Thank you so much Jessica. You are a girl after my own heart – I love the subtle feminine details too.
Loved that olive-stripped top on you! You have a natural grace about you that is evident in your writing and in the pictures on your posts. Thank you for your fresh and encouraging perspective on so many things!
I’ve signed up for Stitch-Fix and I’ll be getting my first fix later this month! I can’t wait! I’m also a teacher, so I’m looking forward to trying new things on and seeing how they’ll work in my classroom.
Oh my goodness, Caryn, I think that is one of the most thoughtful compliments I’ve ever received. If I have any grace at all, it was inherited from my mom. I’m so happy to hear that the content we share really resonates with you.
Congrats on your upcoming first fix. I will cross my fingers and hope that it’s a good one!
If I won I would ask for some colored jeans and a few spring dresses. I would like a pretty cross body purse.
I would request a date night dress and some fun tops for spring/summer.
I subscribe to Stitch Fix and my next shipment is about to arrive. I’d love some colorful denium in a straight cut and a few springy but modest tops that I can wear to my teaching job.
That sounds like a perfect teacher’s wardrobe!
If I won, I would ask for a wardrobe for my Scotland trip! Enough options to mix and match but take up as little suitcase room as possible!
I love that idea! It’s like having a mini capsule wardrobe for your trip. I’ll cross my fingers for you – have an AMAZING trip!
I would especially look for a blouse. I always like that you have a conservative, practical work style.
Thanks S! The Stitch Fix blouses are always my favorite. I can never find blouses that layer as well or have as many interesting details as the ones I get from SF.
You are looking great in your new pregnancy wardrobe! If I won the gift card I would request anything pants from Lila Ryan that I don’t have. I love that brand! And I’d want a few more really cute tops.
Thank you Erin. I only own one item from Lila Ryan and it’s a pair of skinny jeans that I only owned briefly before getting pregnant. Now that I know how much you love that brand, it makes me VERY curious to get a few more items!
I love the floral bottom on the mixed material blouse. I’m going to pin it even though I’m not pregnant.
I would do the same thing if I wasn’t pregnant. It’s a perfect top and would probably fit you just fine!
I love your Stitch Fix Reviews. You give me so much insight on your thought process in styling and to keep or not. I am so happy for y’all having a bundle of joy. Thanks.
Looking forward to my first Fix ever on Friday, which also happens to be maternity! I was a little wary when I signed up but it sounds like the perfect service for me….reading your last 2 blogs is giving me a lot of hope for what’s to come! (I’m only in my first trimester.) Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy!
Great review! I’ve had a few not so great experiences with “regular” stitch fix but I keep going back. Always looking for honest reviews.
Could you please, please share your hair routine? What size curling iron you use to achieve the beautiful loose curls? I LOVE your hair! Also, any tips for getting a similar cut would be great as in buzzwords your hair stylist has used about how she is cutting your hair. I can’t find a contact button so I’m posting here. Thank you!!!
Hi Rozlynn! I’d be happy to share my hair routine on the blog (although it’s pretty basic). When I get my hair cut, I ask for long, subtle layers and shorter layers in front without a full face frame. I curl my hair with a 1″ barrel curling iron and use hair spray when I’m done (usually just Fructis brand because it’s cheap.). Hopefully that helps for now. I’ll see if I can share more in a blog post down the road.
Thank you! You have such classic style. I am so thankful to have found your blog.
I’d love to use this as a chance to get some clothes for work. I’m no longer in K-12 education, I made the switch to higher ed and it’s a fancier dress code!
I have been very intrigued with Stitch Fix!! I might just have to try it. Thanks for sharing the great tips!
Love all of your reviews!! I am so excited for the giveaway as well. As a first year Kindergarten teacher, I am always looking to expand my professional wardrobe.
Love all of these outfits!! I have been contemplating starting up a Stitch Fix subscription and your posts convince me more and more!
Those outfits are gorgeous! My youngest is almost 8 and I had the hardest time finding maternity jeans that were actually stylish. I finally dropped $$$ at Pea in the Pod for one stylish pair. I’m kind of jealous at all the gorgeous styles now.
I am SO thankful that maternity fashion has come a long way in the past few years. It’s still sort of a challenge to find cute maternity clothes, but I can’t imagine trying to shop for clothes 9 years ago!
My husband and I are hoping to get pregnant in the next few months and I’m so glad to see that there are cute maternity options through Stitch Fix. I teach fourth grade and can see the versatility of these pieces for pregnancy and teaching. :)
There are SO many cute maternity options that Stitch Fix offers – and yes they are SO great for teacing! Sending prayers for an easy conception and a bundle of joy coming your way soon!
Love those pants!!
I am definitely not a poncho person but I may be rethinking that now 💕
I have my second maternity fix coming in a few days. I found both your posts hoping for some inspiration. I hope my fix turns out as well as this! I love those green pants!
I hope your fix is amazing and that it includes a truly wonderful pair of pants!
