Stitch Fix Review – My Second Fix (What I Got & What I’m Keeping!)
*This is not a sponsored post. This post does contain a referral link, so if you sign up to try out Stitch Fix, I will receive a credit towards my next fix, but that’s it. All opinions are totally mine! I don’t know why they’d be anyone else’s… haha!
I am BACK with another review of StitchFix! I just got my second “fix” in the mail and oh. my. heavens. I am in LOVE. Seriously. After two fixes, I am definitely hooked. I may have squealed a little bit when the mailman came to the door to deliver my StitchFix box.
My stylist, Cynthie, did an AMAZING job really taking my feedback from my last fix into account.
After my last fix, I told her that I was really disappointed in the strapless dress (I really don’t like my shoulders being exposed), and that the price points on most of the items really were just a little high for me. I don’t mind a pricier piece here and there, but most of my items were over $50 last time and I was disappointed about that.
Anywho, Cynthie really took my feedback to heart and in her personalized note, went into a great amount of detail to tell me why she chose certain pieces for me.
So, like I shared last time, I’ll share each piece I got, what I thought of it (fit, style, price point, versatility etc.), and whether or not I decided to keep it! And also like last time, I took these pictures in our room as I tried them on, so they aren’t fancy, they are just raw, in-the-moment-as-I-tried-my-fix-items-on-for-me-and-my-husband, photos. I hope that’s okay with you. Okay? Okay.
Item number one: Fun2Fun “Colibri Heart Print Tab-Sleeve Blouse” – Size L – $48
This is one of those tops that I never would have picked out for myself. I don’t know why, I mean, I like hearts, but I just don’t picture myself to be a heart-wearing kinda girl. Or something.
Anyway, I was eager to give it a try and try it on and… I LOVED it. The blouse is SO soft and the material is really lightweight so it will be great to wear this spring! It’s sort of a navy color, so it’s really versatile and will be easy to pair with a skirt OR jeans.
I also thought the $48 price point was actually quite reasonable for this blouse. It felt like good quality and really was so comfortable. I also LOVE the length of it. I really dislike shirts that are too short on me, and this blouse is the perfect length.
So, I decided to KEEP it!
Item number two: Kensie Jeans “Sophia Ankle Length Skinny Jean” – $88
I am not going to lie, I was REALLY nervous when I saw that there were skinny jeans in my fix. Ever since having Lilly, finding jeans that fit me and fit me WELL is nearly impossible. My hips (and rear) expanded so much and so well-fitting pants just are tough to find.
But, I figured I’d give them a shot and so I tried them on… and SHOCKER… THEY FIT ME. I really was blown away. I know this seems silly, but I was truly shocked they fit.
The material is a really soft and sturdy denim, they are the PERFECT amount of stretchy and (so far) they don’t stretch out to the point where they are saggy. The wash is a GREAT color and so they look really flattering and don’t make me look top heavy.
These may, honestly, be my new favorite pair of jeans. And because I loved them so much, I did decide to keep them… yes, they’re $88, but honestly, a great pair of jeans that fit really well are truly priceless. ESPECIALLY since I have had such a hard time finding jeans that work for my post-baby body.
So, yay!!
Item number three: Renee C “Vancouver Tribal Print V-Neck Blouse” – Size L – $44
I loved this item out of the box… the print is so adorable and the feel of the fabric is just amazing. It’s so so so soft and flowy and not stiff at all.
Although, when I tried it on, I didn’t love it right away. The sides of the blouse are cut kinda strangely and it’s actually a pretty short blouse (I don’t know how well you can tell by the picture).
I think the key to this blouse is going to be in how it’s styled. I think tucked into a high-waisted skirt could be really cute, or even with the right pair of jeans or shorts. The jury is still out…
I did end up keeping this one because it was actually CHEAPER for me to keep it than to send it back (there is a 25% discount on the fix if you buy ALL the items in the fix… so yeah, spoiler alert… I kept every item in the fix!)
Item number four: Urban Expressions “Aventura Woven Fold Over Clutch” – $38
I. Love. This. Clutch.
When I took it out of the box I think I actually gasped. The tan color is the PERFECT neutral and it just makes it such a classy everyday bag. I love the fact that it comes with a removable chain so you can wear it cross-body OR you can remove the chain and just use it as a clutch.
I have actually been on the hunt for just a plain, neutral bag or clutch that I can use when I’m out and don’t need my diaper bag (which is basically my purse). I don’t own a good neutral bag, so this one was the perfect solution!
Plus, I thought a $38 price point was PERFECT for it. So, win, win, win!!
Item number five: Pomelo “Kathy Striped Fit & Flare Dress” – Size XL – $68
This was a dress that when I opened it I thought, “Hmmm this is cute… it’ll probably make me look like a prison inmate though… but I will try it on.” I love stripes, but sometimes black and white stripes on me just don’t look great.
The fabric is a soft and stretch material. It is a little thicker so it may be pretty hot to wear in the summer, but I don’t think it’s too thick for spring.
I LOVE the fit of the dress, it hits me at the smallest point of my waist before flaring out and so it really gives that perfect slimming illusion. Also, not pictured, but there’s a cute detail on the back because the back of the dress actually cuts down into a “V” shape a little.
In addition to that, there’s an ADORABLE shoulder-detail on the dress… they’re almost like little poufy shoulders… it’s hard to describe. It’s just the perfect flirty, feminine detail!
So, surprise, I kept the dress.
One of the other things that I love about StitchFix so far is that, from my experience, the QUALITY of the clothes is really great. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy, which is nice. Overall, I absolutely LOVED this fix. I think my stylist did such an amazing job! So, with the 25% discount for purchasing the entire fix, plus some referral credit (thank you to everyone who has signed up to try StitchFix through my referral link… I really appreciate it!!), it really was worth it for me to keep all the items.
I don’t know how often I will keep every item in my fix, but I’ve been saving some of my cash to invest in some quality pieces in my closet and this has really turned out to be SUCH a blessing. I am loving. loving. loving. StitchFix.
*Again, this is NOT a sponsored post… StitchFix has no idea who I am other than the fact that I’m a customer… BUT, if you choose to try StitchFix, you can use my referral link here! (I just get a credit if you sign up to try it… and you can get a credit if you get other people to sign up, too! Fun fun fun!!)
So what do you think? If you were me, would you have kept everything, too? Have you tried StitchFix?
I just signed up for Stich Fix and was googling for reviews when I came across your blog. This is the most amazing “fix”. Everything is literally so cute and looks AMAZING on you. Fingers crossed my first fix is as amazing as this one!
Ugh, no plus sizes. Guess I’ll stick with Gwynnie Bee for now! I love seeing what you get though!
yeah that is a bummer – i’m actually in the largest size they offer – BUT i do hear they are planning on adding plus sizes soon!!
Can you buy any of those things elsewhere without signing up? I love that clutch and I want one!
that is a great question – I have heard both yes and no as an answer to that question… i have been on the hunt for this clutch because a bunch of people have asked me where to get it… i will keep an eye out and totally let you know!!!
The blouse, clutch and dress are SUPER cute. I’m on my fourth fix and have been non-plussed with what they’ve sent me to date. I also got those Kensie jeans (in my first fix) and agree that the fit is FANTASTIC. Since then all they send me are print blouses and colored skinny denim, which doesn’t feel very customized to me. I’m going to hold out for one more, hopefully its better!
Holy cow, everything you got is amazing! I especially love the dress and jeans!! I have a hard time finding jeans as well, but yours look great on you!! Maybe I’ll need to try out a pair of Kensie jeans myself 🙂 I’m glad that StitchFix is working out for you!
I LOVE THAT CLUTCH. Looks like you got some good ones this time around!

that was a great box for you!! everything really did look GREAT!
Just signed up! Hoping I love it. 🙂
Everything looks so great on you!!! And I totally agree – quality denim is worth the price, and Kensie is definitely quality! That’s the one item of clothing I won’t think twice about spending $100 on if they fit just right.
All the pieces look amazing on you. I love the dress!!
Ohmygosh, these are so pretty on you! I love that tribal/stripey blouse! I’m wearing one like it right now haha 🙂
xo, Hima

Love them all! That bag is perfection. I recently got my third Fix and kept one piece. I’ve kept one from each Fix. I’m still waiting for the day when they “get” me. I’ve commented and given feedback and linked to my Pinterest loves and my blog. They still don’t “get” me. Sigh.
I’m so so so glad you got some goodies!
You know who I am. Disquis still hates me so I sign in as “guest”.
That striped dress is beautiful and I am so happy for you that you found great jeans – that is so hard!
Totally love this fix, Molly! The tribal print blouse and the clutch?! OMG WANT THEM BOTH. I reviewed my first fix on my blog last month and said I would try again. But man, I think I need to go to the website like now because maybe the second fix will be better!!!
I love that dress so much! And that’s great that the jeans fit so well! Yay!
I’m super excited to get my first box now! Everything here looks great- and great on you! Unfortunately mine isn’t due until June..waaahh!
I have that clutch in black! I love it. All of your items look amazing! I see what you mean about the tribal top. It looks short on the sides, and I usually shy away from tops like that. (we’re about the same shape and size) But honestly, the pattern is SO you!!
oh yay for liking everything in your fix! I wish mine had turned out better, when I see this, it makes me want to try again, but don’t want to lose out on $20 like I did last time 🙁
Yay! I’m also obsessed with Stitch Fix! It’s just so fun and opening the box is like Christmas morning! Haha. I love all the items you got, especially the striped dress! It looks so cute on you!
I love all the items they sent you this time!! I’m getting my second fix in another week and now I’m feeling even more like a kid on Christmas, seriously!
What a great fix! I love the heart top and the dress. Glad you found some jeans that work, too! Yay!
i ooh’d and ahh’d outloud….in my office….over every piece! love living vicariously through these posts and can’t wait to try stitchfix for myself sometime soon!
I think you made a great choice. LOVE the jeans and the dress, especially.
Wow! The items they sent you were all really fantastic! I especially love you in the striped dress!
Ah! I love every piece! They all look great on you. Wise choice to keep them all. 🙂
That clutch is adorable! They still have not sent me any bags, not sure why, I’ve said on my profile I’m cool with them, and I’ve had 4 boxes already! also i LOVE that tribal top, I think it looks fab on you. I’m glad you kept it! -Christine (twogirlsoneoutfit.com)
Wow, all of these pieces are beautiful and look great on you! And $88 for good jeans is an EXCELLENT deal!
I keep seeing adorable stuff via stitch fix! ahhh…once i’m like one year postpartum….lol.
Molly, that dress is just so flattering on you! I haven’t been over to your blog in a while, so side note- your blog design looks so great too! I am really liking the simplicity of it. It kind of matches the dress! xo
