I think this is actually my 5th Stitch Fix box, since I'm pretty sure I didn't blog about the last one. I have gotten one box every quarter this year, which has felt like a fun splurge every few months but isn't tempting me with new clothes constantly.
The note I left my stylist for this box requested warm, dressy/casual tops, preferably tunic-length so I could wear them with leggings and cover my butt. I still can't get on board with leggings as actual pants without a top that is long enough to provide full coverage. And I didn't mind if they sent pants, but I specifically mentioned no jeans. I counted recently, and I have 16 pairs of jeans! Who needs that many? I was horrified after I counted and promptly tried them all on and put 6 pairs in the donation pile. So that's a step in the right direction.
Are capsule wardrobes still a thing? They were huge in the blog world a few years ago, and while I love the idea, at the end of the day I just can't commit to one specific jean cut and wash. Some days are dark-wash denim days, and a girl needs options, you know?
Okay anyway, the point is that this box contained all tops! I loved it! Maybe I've just gotten lucky with a good stylist, but every single box so far as felt perfectly my style, taste, and color palette, which makes it super fun to try on. I normally just keep 1 item, but this time I kept 2! The prices didn't terrify me this time either, and everything was between $38 and $48.
If you'd like to try Stitch Fix for free, I would love it if you used my referral link here. You get $25, which will cover your styling fee so you will only pay for clothes you keep, and I will get some money to put toward my next box!
Here's what came in this box:
1. Alexander Jordan - Radha One Pocket Plaid Top
This was the first shirt I tried on, and I figured if I hated everything else, at least I could keep this and not lose my styling fee. Loved the lighter plaid, the fit, and the cut. It was soft, and it was the cheapest of the bunch! Ultimately I ended up loving two of the other tops better, so this was a return.
2. Tinsel - Floid Chambray Top
I did like the fit and the fact that it was longer, but I have an almost identical shirt just in a lighter wash. And I know I mentioned wanting options when it comes to denim, but in this case I felt like I could find a similar top for cheaper if I really wanted to. Also this shirt was super wrinkly, and I just don't have time in my life for a high-maintenance top that needs to be ironed every time I want to wash it. Return.
3. Pink Clover - Valencia Curved Hem Pullover
I knew immediately when I tried this on that I wanted to keep it. It was super soft and felt like it fit really well. The sleeves are a tad long, and when I wore this earlier in the week I rolled them up once, but otherwise it fits well and is comfortable but looks dressy with the right necklace/earring combo. Also I looooooove the color. Keep!
4. Staccato - Shenaya Knit Top
This is a lovely dark purple, which is hard to see in the picture. I thought the tie neck was fun, and the material of the top was suuuuper soft. Also, it had pockets! When I texted my friend all the pics, she said she liked this one the best on me. However, I just didn't love it for some reason. It felt a bit thin in the front and hung on me weird. Also J loves to pull on strings, so I figured that might be an issue if I ever wanted to hold him while wearing this. He already chews on all the strings of my sweatshirts! Return.
5. Pink Clover - Fulton Turtleneck Pullover Tunic
I actually wore this yesterday! Spoiler alert: I kept it. This was my favorite thing in the box and the only top truly long enough to cover my butt in leggings. It's a very pretty grayish purple, is super warm and comfortable, and overall a love for me! Keep.
What do you think about my box? What would you have kept?

I just ordered an all tops box too - I haven't done SF in a while. I forgot how expensive they are. I asked for all sweaters because winter. I just got it yesterday, pulled out the first sweater, cut off the tags and wore it last night. My stylist (Britt) seems to really nail what I typically wear and also puts occasional items that DO look good on me that I wouldn't normally try myself. Which I think should be kind of the point. It looks like you got five great tops! That first flannel fits you so well, I always look like a lumberjack in flannels.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with your picks, I would have kept those both too!
ReplyDeleteThe Pink Clover turtleneck tunic looks so pretty on you! I can definitely see why you kept that. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved #3. And my wardrobe is a time capsule wardrobe. From 2010 because that's probably the last time I went shopping.
ReplyDeleteI love your choices! The green sweater almost makes me want to join Stitch Fix again (you saw my embarrassing photos of what they sent me last time and I haven't tried another box since). I am pretty sure I have the dark purple pullover and yes, it's the softest thing I've ever owned. I wore it all through my first trimester and I'm so happy its winter again so I can pull it back out. The strings are SUPER annoying and don't stay tied, so you were right about that. I still love how soft it is though. Please share all of your boxes. This is fun.
ReplyDeleteI tried to guess on each picture what you kept or returned... Nailed it! Great choices!
ReplyDeleteHa! I read the comment before I saw who wrote it. Good job, Mom 😂😂
DeleteI love the two you kept! Very, very cute and cozy. I’m so glad your stylist has been a good one!
ReplyDeleteI love what you kept! That last one is perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou made a good choice with the two tops you kept!
ReplyDeletelove the two tops you kept! i've only done stitch fix once. i kept two things - a great dress, and a sweater that i like but that has sleeves that are a bit short. and i don't have long arms! so i've been a little meh on trying them again, but maybe i'll give them another shot. :)
ReplyDeleteI am waiting on my box now, it's scheduled to be here by Saturday. I also requested tunic tops to wear with leggings so I am excited to see what I end up with. I love the ones you kept also, they looks super comfy!
ReplyDeleteI love the two you kept! That color of #3 is so pretty on you!
ReplyDeleteI love the ones you picked but I'd have been tempted to keep that blue button up and the purple knit top! I looove those two colors!
ReplyDeleteOh I love love love top number three!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the last three, but I actually hate button up shirts on myself. :) I've kept all of the items from my last two boxes, and I have a box arriving this week!
