June Stitch Fix Review (What I Got & What I’m Keeping)

I’m back for another monthly Stitch Fix review!
Since I was going to be in Las Vegas for work last week, I scheduled my June fix a little later in the month than usual. And man, I couldn’t WAIT for it to arrive! I had been counting down the days. Haha – not literally… just figuratively. Sort of. It really is like Christmas morning when I know that my Stitch Fix is going to arrive!
I had a new stylist this time. Cynthie has been my stylist previously – I don’t know what happened to her… but this time I had Aimee Rae. I gave a TON of feedback after my last fix (I didn’t really love my last fix all that much) and I do feel like she took my feedback into account. I also asked for some fun pieces that I would normally never pick out for myself. I wanted something out of my comfort zone! And I definitely think she delivered on that.
Anyway, I’ll be sharing what I got in my June fix, what I thought of it, size, fit, price, etc… and whether or not I kept it! I tried to take pictures outside this time for a change in scenery… but it was SO hot so it ended up probably being a terrible idea. But oh well, I tried. I wanted to stay true to the fact that I try on EVERYTHING and give you my first impressions as I tried items on. And yes, I took pictures of everything… EVEN if it didn’t fit. You’re welcome? I think. You can decide for yourself. Check it out.
Renee C “Jennifer Daisy Print Kimono” – Size L – $48
When I first pulled this out of the box I was a little perplexed by it. I’ve never tried the whole “kimono” trend and I wasn’t sure I was sold on the daisy print. But, it is DEFINITELY a piece I would not have normally picked out for myself, so I got what I asked for and I was willing to try it!
I ended up REALLY liking it. It has grown on me the more I’ve worn it and I’m excited to play around with different ways of styling it. It’s really loose and comfortable fitting. The fabric is lightweight and so it’ll work in the summer and winter months and I think it will also be a good transition piece in the fall.
I thought the price tag of $48 was fair… maybe a little on the steep side, but I liked it so I decided to keep it!
Bay to Baubles “Denver Layered Bar Lariat” – $28
There’s not much to say about this necklace. It’s pretty simple and you know exactly what you’re getting. I thought the price was fair for the necklace and while I liked it, it wasn’t really that “special” enough for me to keep and I already have another necklace pretty similar to it. So, I did not end up keeping it.
Kensie Jeans “Red Kaleigh Ankle Biter Skinny Jean” – Size 14 – $88
I was excited to see another pair of Kensie jeans in my fix! The first pair of Kensie jeans I ever tried on I got in my second fix and they are, by far, my most comfortable and my most worn jeans. They are TOTALLY worth the $88 price tag. Seriously. They’ve held up really well to multiple washings, wearings, and runnings around.
So, when I pulled the bright red pair out of the box I was PUMPED. I’ve been wanting a pair of red jeans FOREVER! I have tried on a ton of different pairs at Target, Old Navy, Nordstrom, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, you name it – but I have yet to find an awesome pair of red jeans.
Until now.
These, ladies and gents, are a winner! I LOVE them! They’re really comfortable. They are the perfect amount of stretchy. The material is really soft – like REALLY soft. And they fit just like my other pair of Kensie jeans. So, these were a no brainer “YES” for keeping!
Renee C “Ventura Abstract Chevron Keyhole Detail Tank” – Size L – $38
I LOVED this shirt out of the box. Perfect print. Perfect fabric – lightweight and flowy. And then I put it on. UGH! The fit is awful. It was just small and hugged me awkwardly and… ugggggh I was so sad. It’s way too short, I didn’t like the side cuts, and it was just all wrong. I was really, really disappointed in it.
I don’t even know that sizing up would have saved this blouse. I did think that the price tag for it was right on and had it fit, I would have kept it for sure. But, needless to say, it did not fit, and I did not keep it.
Pink Martini “Sally Mixed Striped Dress” – Size XL – $64
Another item in my fix that I loved out of the box. I loved the orange striped print and I thought that it was really cute. Once I held it up and unfolded it, I was starting to become unsure. The fabric is REALLY thick. Like, this dress is crazy thick. It’s not lightweight at all and would be really hot material to wear in the summer (even though the dress is short and sleeveless).
I also knew right away that I was not crazy about the neckline. I don’t love cap sleeves and square necklines usually look funky on me. I DID love that it has pockets because dresses with pockets are instantly my favorite.
And then I tried it on. HOLY MOLY THIS DRESS IS SHORT. It fit me fine up top and zipped alright, but my gracious it is WAY too short. Like, if I bent over, everyone is going to see all the things and I am not okay with that. Plus, because the way the dress hugged my hips and because of the thickness of the fabric, it rode up as I walked… which is also not good at all.
I thought the price tag for it was fair considering… but I did NOT keep this dress.
So, overall thoughts are…
I liked this fix. I didn’t love it like I loved my second fix, but I definitely liked this fix more than my last fix. Fit was the biggest issue in this fix more than anything. Had the dress and tank been the right fit, I probably would have kept them.
I am really excited about my red Kensie skinny jeans and my daisy print kimono. They’re even perfect paired together! I think they’re going to be really worthwhile investments in my closet and I’m going to be able to wear them lots of different ways.
I’ve already got my July fix scheduled! I can’t wait!

Yep, I’m still loving these posts, Molly! Those jeans look amazing on you! I think we have a similar body type/shape, so I’m wondering if I should give the Kensie jeans a try… How tall are you, so I know for leg length?
I got the petite length “ankle” length. I am about 5′ 3″ or 5’4″ on a good day 🙂
Awesome – thank you, Molly!
I am so jealous of your red jeans! I also am dying for red jeans…ARGH! I even have a pic of them on my Pinterest board. But now you have given me ammo. I can go to my Stitch Fix account and specifically ask for the Kenzie Red Jeans! Ha, ha!
I got my 2nd fix a couple of weeks ago, and I am so very hooked. I love that you showed us everything on you (very brave! I haven’t been able to bite the bullet yet on that one).
Honestly, I think the dress was very flattering on you. I get the ‘too short,’ however. Also, I loved the kimono…different with a cool print. I’m glad you kept it!
I love that you try on and photograph everything. You motived me to do the same with my last fix. For real, I’ve done three and they still don’t “get” me. I’ve given a ridiculous amount of feedback. I know i’ll try again…
You look great in everything but the material of the dress does look very thick! I absolutely love the necklace!
Aw, I think the dress looks great on you! Those red jeans though…I’ll be sitting here with my fingers crossed those find their way into my upcoming Fix too.
I have that Pink Martini dress pinned on my Stitch Fix board but now I’m reconsidering! It’s very cute but too short for my taste too!
Love those red jeans though 🙂

I really love this feature and look forward to it.
LOVE that kimono! 🙂 So cute!
I wish they carried plus sizes.
I love reading your Stitch Fixes. I just scheduled my first fix 🙂 I’m kind of excited!!
I love these reviews Molly! I got a kimono in my Fix too this month. Sadly I didn’t keep it. Yours looks great but mine looked like a robe:( Even it the items don’t work, I love Stitch Fix. It helps me put outfits together and try trends that I normally would pass by. Susan
This was great! I thoroughly enjoyed your fix “play-by-play”. It is super interesting to see & hear the expectations vs reality for each of the pieces. As a style consultant/personal shopper, I have seen that your experience is so often the case! There is no substitute for trying things on and fit fit fit – it is always the most crucial aspect of a piece working.
I think in a muchmuch lighter soft poly~silky fabric with some inner stability to maintain the origami cut, that dress could be great! Too bad… Also, it may take 30 iterations to find the right pair of jeans, but when you do — oh so worth it!
Thank you for taking the time to document the good and the bad. It was a lot of fun to go through.
