Post number 2 for the day!!! I am making up for missing a week of posting! Yikes!
Okay
so for those of you who do not know about Stitch Fix...it is amazing.
I found out about it through blogging (oh the wonderful things you learn through blogging!!) I just loved
the idea...especially being obsessed with fashion and clothes. I just had to try to out! So all you have to
do is pay a $20 styling fee to get a "fix" and five clothing/accessory
items are sent to your home.
Then
you
get to try them on, in the convenience of your home. If you LOVE all
five
pieces you can receive 25% off your purchase. Or you can keep whatever
you want or none at all (If you don't keep anything..you still have to
pay the $20 styling fee)
-- If you do decide to keep anything, your $20 styling fee goes towards
your
purchase. How amazing is that!? Even if you just like one piece from your fix..it is totally worth it!
To get started..before you schedule a fix, you get to fill out a style profile
and let your stylist know exactly what you like and what you don't like. Be as specific
as you can-- what type of items you do or do not want sent to you. Best
part is you can pick price ranges as well as different styles--- So if you
request clothing items around $50-100 a piece, you won't get sent anything
above that like a $200 dress. Below are what some questions are on your profile.
Some important things that I figured out from reading other blogs and following
boards on pinterest.....
(1) Be detailed in your style profile. The more info you give the better!
Let them know if you’re in between sizes..if you are more of a dress or
pants person....if you despise the color red or orange (I DO!)…or,
if a certain cut or style doesn’t work on your body type...let your stylist know. I changed my
style profile and added more specifics after receiving my first box.
(2) Include a link to a Pinterest board. Even name the board Stitch Fix
and your stylist will know exactly what your style is and maybe even include
pieces that you pinned from other people's fix.
(3) Give honest feedback about the items in your box. Don't sugar coat it---
You’re not going to hurt anyone’s feelings by saying you didn’t like something.
Give specifics because it will help your stylist to make your next box
spot on.
(4) Ask for items you want to get in your box. There is a comments section
at the end of the style profile--add it there! You may or may not get it but it
never hurts to ask. I asked for the cardigan and got it in my first fix!
(5) Your first fix might not be exactly what you were hoping or looking
for...but be patient..as it may take a few tries for your stylist to really
understand your preferences.

Okay so on to the best part of last week and the weekend...my sister got married!!! 5.24.14---what a magical day. My family and I traveled to Portsmouth, New Hampshire (after stopping in Boston to get my sister and her fiance).
