November Stitch Fix #30 – Review, Giveaway and Link-Up

November 13, 2015 By Maria Gavin - 53 Comments

I’ve hit a mini-milestone. My 30th Stitch Fix shipment arrived this week and I am so excited to share it with you on the blog today. Thirty fixes! Can you believe it? I can’t either. Stitch Fix has completely changed the way I shop for clothes. I no longer stress out about the fact that I have a special occasion coming up that I need a cute dress for. I also don’t fret when I want to add new school-appropriate clothes to my wardrobe. I just update my Stitch Fix style profile and pin a few inspiration photos to my style board on Pinterest. Then I schedule a fix! That’s all the work I have to do. My personal stylist, Layla, reviews the notes I left for her and hand-picks 5 items just for me and ships them right to my door. All I have to do is try on the clothes, keep the ones I love and check out online. I ship back any clothes I don’t wish to keep in the pre-paid mailing envelope that was comes in my shipment. It’s that easy!

This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience and I only recommend products and services that I truly love. When it comes to fashion, I adore Stitch Fix and I can’t wait to show you what arrived in this month’s fix!

I’ll admit that I took the liberty of peeking at my fix in the new Stitch Fix iPhone app before the box actually arrived. The app didn’t include photos of every item, but I was able to see a few of them ahead of time. This fix is definitely designed to get me winter-ready. Look at all of those cool colors and soft knits!

Stitch Fix-2

 

Yuna Chevron Pointelle Knit Sweater

I started by trying on the Yuna Chevron Pointelle Knit Sweater from Market & Spruce ($68). Initially, I wasn’t particularly thrilled about the sweater. It was a pretty color, but I thought it was going to be a little too short for my taste and I didn’t think it would be a great match for my style. I grabbed the Sophia Skinny Jeans from Kensie that came in my 4th fix.  Surprisingly, I loved the sweater. It fit perfectly. And the color? Stunning!

I personally would call this sweater purple but according to Stitch Fix, the color is Fuchsia. Just a little FYI in case you want to request this item from your stylist.

I wear a basic Tami tank top from Old Navy under almost everything. My go-to color is usually white, but I added a black tank under this sweater to compliment the deep fuchsia color.

I added my brown riding boots to keep the look casual. I love the richness of the dark fuchsia, brown and denim. My boots are Enzo Angiolini brand and I purchased them a few years ago. I have scoured the internet for a similar pair and I found a very close match on Amazon. They are also by Enzo Angiolini and I am so tempted to purchase them for myself as a backup pair!

I have a major love affair with yellow gold these days so I added a few gold accessories to complete the outfit. My two favorite pieces are my Jesse white ceramic Fossil watch (similar here) and the Elisa Iridescent Drusy necklace from Kendra Scott that came in my Rocksbox. I added a longer gold chain into the mix with a pair of pearl earrings and I was all set.

I think I may have a new favorite outfit! And to think I wasn’t very excited about this sweater when I first opened my Stitch Fix box.

Blake Poncho Pullover Sweater

The second item I tried on was the Blake Poncho Pullover Sweater from Colourworks ($68). I’ll admit that when I saw that Layla had included a poncho in my fix, I thought “this should be interesting.” I like clothes that are tailored with a classic silhouette. There’s nothing tailored in a poncho. Throw in a cowl neck at the top and I figured I was going to be drowning in baggy fabric and basically look like I was wearing a striped garbage bag. I reluctantly changed into the Rizzo Skinny Pants that came in my 26th fix. I wanted to wear a long sleeved shirt under the poncho and solid black would have been so drab. I decided to play off the stripes of the poncho and wear a long-sleeved striped tee that I bought at the J. Crew Factory Store a few years ago. (Similar here). I put the brown boots back on, kept the Fossil watch (similar here) and added a long pearl necklace.

As it turns out, I kinda sorta really love the poncho.

A lot.

If you are poncho-shy like I was, you might be curious about just how much fabric you will be dealing with. I took this photo just for you. It really wasn’t that bad and I felt warm and cozy like I was wrapped in a blanket while I took these photos. I live in Michigan and I’m in a constant state of freezing from November-April. Needless to say, I’m keeping the poncho! Anything that looks this stylish and keeps me warm is good by me.

I love the peekaboo effect that was going on between my striped t-shirt and the sides of the poncho.

One last look at the outfit. Between the long-sleeve t-shirt, the poncho and my Rizzo Skinny Pants; I was completely cozy and comfortable. You’ll have to forgive the fact that I’m about to get off-track. These pants are so amazing. They are like really heavy stretchy leggings and the waistband is completely elastic. They’re not leggings though. They’re pants. Complete with faux-pockets. No zipper or buttons. Just pure stretchy, structured joy. They look professional and classy, but are comfortable enough to let me crawl around on the floor with my kindergarten students. You need these pants. You can read more about them in this blog post then thank me later.

Colibri Plaid Printed Tab-Sleeve Shirt

The Colibri Plaid Printed Tab-Sleeve Shirt from Market & Spruce ($48) has been making the rounds in my Pinterest feed and I have been longing for it from a distance. I never actually pinned the shirt to my style board on Pinterest because it didn’t have a traditional collar and the sleeves were only 3/4 length. But I have been staring at it. And wondering if I should pin it. Layla must have read my mind, because the exact shirt that I have been wondering about came in my fix this week!

If you can believe it, I don’t own a single plaid shirt. I think long-sleeve plaid shirts are perfect for layering under sweaters in the cold months and I have been wanting one so badly. This particular plaid shirt may be missing a collar and the sleeves may not go all the way down to my wrist, but I do not care. Because it fit perfectly and was so soft!

This shirt is definitely a keeper. I love everything about it.

The sleeves are intended to be rolled slightly and buttoned into place (hence the name tab-sleeve shirt). I personally liked the way the sleeves looked without rolling them. And now that it’s November, I’ll take every inch of fabric covering my arms that I can get. The only downside of my sleeve-rolling resistance was that the little fabric tabs that are designed to hold the rolled sleeves in place kept peeking out through the cuffs of the sleeve.

Yet another great outfit for my trusty black Rizzo Skinny Pants.

Now that I finally own a plaid shirt, I’m more determined than ever to try on a warm vest. It’s the one thing my outfit is missing!

Since I don’t have a vest, I decided to pair the shirt with the green Savana Quilted Coat that came in my 28th fix. I also added a cream knit scarf for a little extra warmth. This shirt is SUCH a keeper and I’m glad I kept the coat too!

There are still two items remaining from my fix that I can’t wait to show you, there’s a $50 Stitch Fix gift card up for grabs and a link-up filled with great fixes from other bloggers. Just click over to the second page of this post to continue the fun!

    I got a poncho in my fix this month too, and now i am poncho believer! I agree that the dress is beautiful, but it’s definitely an occasion dress.
    The purple, yes I say purple too, sweater looks awesome on you. That color is so your color.
    Thanks for hosting another link up!

    The sweaters in this fix are fabulous!!! I think the poncho is a great look on you. Looks cozy and neutral. Love it! There is one that is long and cream colored with buttons on it that I saw on StitchFix’s instagram and I pinned it to my board.

    My next fix should be here in a couple days. Life is just a solid busy-ness that I am having trouble keeping up to post stuff and finding the lighting in my house is nearly impossible during the week when I get home from work (which leaves only Weekends for fix photos) and this next fix is scheduled to arrive mid-week!

    Also, I used your referral code for Rocksbox last month and I got my first free month… ugh, I am in love with this Loren Hope bracelet and the necklace they sent…

    My husband is going to start wondering where all of these boxes are coming from and how they are being paid for.

    Hey! As long as I still follow the Dave Ramsey plan as I always have with Baby Step #2… I can budget for some “fun” money, right?! ;)

      Hi Alyssa! You are SO sweet for being such a dedicated follower of the blog! Don’t tell your husband that I was the one who got you hooked on Stitch Fix AND Rocksbox! I see that you linked up your post (thank you!) but it got stuck in InLinkz because it was missing the graphic for the link up and a link back to this post. If you want to make those edits on your end, I can push the post through so it appears in the linky.

      Thanks again so much and good luck with Baby Step #2!

      My 2nd fix was not fabulous, but I was not displeased. I received items that were my taste, but one did not fit and cut of the others didn’t look right on my figure… but I think my stylist is honing in on that. The first one was WAY off… and then then the second was immediately more like my style! Did you do a pinterest board?

    I’ve been following your blog for a few weeks now and I wanted to pop in and say how much I enjoy it! Your Stitch Fix posts are my favorite and I appreciate how much time and effort you put into them. It really shows and is helpful as a reader.

    I have done a handful of Stitch Fix boxes in the past and always felt it was sort of hit or miss back in the early days. Fortunately, it’s been on point the last few months for me. I think the fact that they have their own clothing lines helps tremendously and I find their fits to be much more flattering as they offer petite sizes. Glad to see they are listening to customer feedback!

    I finally embraced the poncho this fall and I love it as well! Stitch Fix sent me a poncho cardigan, which helped me from feeling overwhelmed. The one you received is gorgeous and looks fantastic on you! I am also a fan of the plaid shirt. Most of them have a boyfriend cut that tends to make me look like well….a boy. I might have to request this one!

    You get the best fixes and are all over my Pinterest, haha. Sorry to put this in comments but I couldn’t find an email for you. Your link-up hates me for the second time and says no backlink, even though it’s there. I’m afraid this will be an ongoing issue :(. Also, I am getting a second fix in November. Is it ok to link up two posts? You can answer by email if you prefer (which you should have because I entered it to comment). Thank you!

      Hi Stacie! I’m so sorry that the link-up is giving you trouble! A lot of people get stuck in it because of our two-page blog layout. I keep an eye on it to moderate any posts that follow all of the rules and find themselves stuck. I included your link because it was perfect! I’m sorry for the inconvenience. And YES it’s ok to link 2 posts and long as they are both recent (posted within the past 30 days). Our email address is crazytogetherblog@gmail.com and you can email us any time!

    Love everything in your box. I’ve had a hard time these past 2 boxes after transitioning back to regular clothes from my maternity fixes. I will be pinning the plaid shirt for sure. And maybe the poncho although I’m not sure I can pull it off as well as you! Thanks for the style inspiration.

    This is VERY helpful info – I have tried SF twice, and wasn’t in love either time. I’ve found Lyon & Post and – while it is more expensive than SF – there are literally NO fees unless you keep the clothes, and then you only pay for your purchase.
    Click my link for $30 towards your purchase. Thanks!

    Hi!

    I know this is kind of an old thread but I was curious about the fit of the Market & Spruce Colibri plaid top- someone on my Stitch Fix FB board has this for sale but it’s a large. I’m normally a medium and she says it has been washed once and fits like a medium. Now that you may have worn and washed it a bit, could you let me know if it tends to run a little small? I’m just trying to figure out whether or not I should buy- I love it so much! Thank you!

    Love your blog by the way! I’m a writer and it makes me want to start a blog of my own! :)

      Hi Jessica! I checked my shirt tag. Mine is a small and it runs a little large. I always hand wash mine and lay it flat to dry. If she put hers in the dryer, it’s possible that it shrunk a bit but I can’t say for certain. I wish I could be more help!
