The “Whole Outfit” Fix & a $75 Stitch Fix Giveaway!
I’ve been doing Stitch Fix for over two years now (and I’ve received over 28 fixes!) I LOVE Stitch Fix and truly, TRULY can’t say enough good things about the service (the customer service, the experience, etc.), the company, etc. Stitch Fix really is AMAZING and is doing so many wonderful things for women all over this country.
But, like I said, now that I’ve been receiving fixes for so long and especially because I’m super picky about what I will invest in (clothing wise) and I have, what I feel, to be a good, solid, wardrobe… I am having a lot of fun being creative with my fixes these days.
Kimberly J. has been my stylist pretty much since the beginning. She was maybe the third or fourth stylist I got before I stuck with her and started requesting her every month. Now, after so many fixes with her as my stylist, she really has a good, strong sense of what I like and don’t like and she also knows when and how to push me out of my comfort zone.
I’ve also gotten to the point with her that I can be really honest when I don’t like something and I can also send her notes asking for weird / unique things!
Now that Stitch Fix carries shoes, I thought it would be fun to request a “whole outfit” fix! You know, basically five items that “complete” an entire outfit or essentially are the makings-ups-of (<—not a word, I realize that…) an entire outfit.
And, as usual, Kimberly J. took my idea and ran with it! It was a fun experiment and I loved that she was game!
Check out what she included in my fix (I even took a picture of her note to me so you can see what her thinking was behind each piece!):
*BONUS: Keep reading for a giveaway at the end!
First up? The Dolce Vita “Darrah Strappy Sandal” – $70
Oh, you guys. These shoes. SO. CUTE. So, so, so cute. I don’t know how well you can tell from the pictures, but the strappy part is a mint green! They’re really so adorable. …BUT, I have what some would call “big ankles.” Yes, it is true. I do. And, well, the ankle part of these shoes was just a hair too tight and squeezed my feet in awkward places. BUMMER.
If you have skinnier ankles, these are great! If not, you may have trouble like I did. 🙁
Verdict: Return
Street Level “Roxy Cork Clutch” – $48
This clutch was SO fun and really is made out of cork! I thought it was just a “print,” when I saw it at first… but nope! It’s cork! So cool and so unique. As adorable and unique and fun as this clutch is, I already have a few neutral clutches and really don’t need to add another one to my “arsenal.” Just not a wise purchase for me right now. BUT, doesn’t mean I don’t think the clutch is adorable!
Verdict: Return
Daniel Rainn “Peneloppe Embroidery Print Knit Top” – Size XL – $68
Ohhhhh this top, this top, this top! It was love the moment I set eyes on it. I have been searching and searching for a neutral, FLOWY, lacy top that can be easily dressed up or dressed down. It’s been a piece I’ve thought I may never find, but this top is gorgeous. It’s a very soft material and is the perfect amount of flowy and feminine. I’m very much in a “flowy” post-partum stage right now… so anything I can do to draw attention AWAY from my mid-section is golden.
It was a no brainer on this one…
Verdict: Keep!
Mavi “Aiden Printed Skinny Jean” – Size 14 – $98
These jeans are SO fun! I have another pair of Mavi jeans from an earlier fix and I’ve always liked the brand. Mavi is actually manufactured in a factory in Turkey that adheres to ethical manufacturing practices / standards! So, bonus! 🙂
Anyway, these jeans really are adorable, stretchy, and the print is FUN! HOWEVER, my post-partum body isn’t quite ready for them. 🙁 They were just a hair too small and not quite what I could justify keeping… because who KNOWS when they will fit right?!
BUMMER!!
Verdict: Return
Look by M “Adara Mixed Pattern Scarf” – $34
This scarf is HUGE (in hindsight, I should have taken a picture to show how big it is… oh well!). It’s almost like a shawl or large, THIN, blanket scarf. It is really cute, but to be honest, I have more scarves than I know what to do with and a few scarves in this color scheme… so it just wasn’t something I need.
Verdict: Return.
SO, even though this fix was a 1/5, I still LOVED it and Kimberly J. did a great job trying out my “whole outfit fix” idea! While I don’t think the scarf really matched the outfit, I see where she was going with it! I do think everything else, had they all fit right, would have been adorable together.
What do you think? Do you like what I kept / sent back? Have you tried anything fun or unique with your fixes?
Now, as a bonus, I’ve teamed up with Stitch Fix to giveaway a $75 gift card to one of my readers! All you have to do is fill out your style profile (which is FREE to do!). Already a Stitch Fix member? That’s cool! Just update your style profile or leave a new note for your stylist! Good luck and happy fixing! 🙂

I love the colors on the Dolce Vita sandals!! I actually received the pink version through Trunk Club, but had the same problem as you did with my ankles. Super cute Fix!

I created a profile a while ago, but have never tries Stitch Fix.
I love Stitch Fix, and have been getting boxes from them for a few years. My favorite thing about receiving the box is adding a piece to my wardrobe that is out of my comfort zone.
I’ve been wanting to try stitch fix but haven’t taken the plunge! This giveaway makes me want to! Especially now that I am a new mama – Molly, our sons were born close together and mine was by c-section as well. Love seeing Amos grow as my Sebastian grows as well.
I love stitch fix! I always end up loving the things I don’t think will work for me!
I’m a huge Stitch Fix fan. I love your idea of a whole outfit fix.
1) You are adorable!
2) I love that you love Jesus!
3) I love your blog!
4) I’m totally pinning your sandals at the top!
you are so sweet! thank you!!!
I haven’t signed up for stitch fix yet, but I would love to give it a try!
I would love to try Stitch Fix!!
I’ve never used stitch fix before, but it sounds amazing <3
I use stitch fix! I LOVE that they have shoes now.
I haven’t tried it but I filled out the quiz and I think they would match me with the perfect clothes for me!
I’ve gotten 6 or 7 fixes and I love it!! I think the most important things are 1) to be clear with what you like/don’t like (who are you trying to please? you’re the one wearing the clothes!), and 2) to not expect a 5/5 fix every time. Like you said in this blog, you loved 1 thing and that makes this fix a success 🙂
I have never tried it before but I really want to(:
What a fun idea to try a whole outfit from Stitch Fix! I love the top you kept and I love how she kept the mint green going through the whole outfit. I love Stitch Fix, one of my favorite things about them is getting unique pieces that I wouldn’t find somewhere else!
I’ve not tried Stitch Fix yet but I am really considering it now that I have dropped some weight!
I have not yet but have told myself that when I lose all of my baby weight I will reward myself with a “fix”:)
I’ve never tried Stitch Fix before although I’m signed up. I would really like to get a couple outfits from Stitch Fix. I like that they have cute clothes.
I love this whole outfit idea! Your stylist did a fabulous job picking out each piece. I might have to do this sometime! I have been using Stitch Fix since February. I’m on my 6th Fix and think I might have a 5/5! We will see once I try it all on! I love Stitch Fix!
I’ve used it a few times and enjoy the surprise of having a fix show up in the mail!
i’ve been using it for a few months, its a real bummer when i only get one (or zero) items I want to keep but its still fun and something i look forward to getting in the mail
What a great idea, I may have to try it one of these days. I’ve just been filling my closet with beautiful tops!
I’ve tried Stitch Fix a couple times but it was 3 yrs ago! I’d love to try again and see what they have to offer, esp since I had a baby 3 months ago and am working on a new wardrobe for this ever changing body of mine ☺️
I love that your stylist put together this whole outfit fix! It’s really all cute on you but I can totally understand why you only kept 1 thing.
I have had a 4 fixes with Stitch Fix and absolutely love it. So much Fun!
I LOVE Stitch Fix! I’ve loved almost everything they have sent me, my stylist Sarah is awesome! 🙂
What a great idea to request a full outfit! I loved every piece you got in this fix, but those shoes are especially fantastic!
First time visiting your blog!
Great fix! I LOVE the Mavi’s on you! I’ve seen these pants in tons of fixes and I just feel like you look the best in them! It seems to go with your fun attitude!
I’ve done three fixes and I love having fewer choices than a store with usually at least one item being awesome. It’s just a fun service!
I love the idea of doing a whole outfit! Everything was so cute, expecially the clutch!
I love your style! and just between us, I live and breathe Stitch Fix!
What a great idea for a Fix! I love the top and Mavi jeans together!
I think those Mavi Aiden Printed Skinny Jeans look great on you!

So funny, but your photos come up ALL.THE.TIME when I’m doing Stitch Fix searches. Although this is my first time visiting your blog, it feels like I already know you (or at least your sense of style). Love those Mavi pants … just might have to pin them for myself! 😉
hilarious!! i love it!! welcome to the blog 🙂 nice to “meet” you, Nilsa!!!!
I love that cork clutch! I got the Mavi pants once too – but in gray. Sent them back because of the fit too. Loved your fix!
thank you, Sarah!!
So torn about their scarves/purses. They are always so cute, but 3x the price of a similar item at a store like Charming Charlie.
I just got my first Stitch Fix on Saturday and loved it! I kept all five items to get the discount, and I really liked them all, but ended up selling the jeans on the b/t/s FB group just because I didn’t *need* another pair of jeans. I wore the dress I got on Monday and got a dozen compliments as soon as I walked in the door. Can’t wait for my next fix!
that’s awesome!
I’ve tried to a few times and I am always so impressed by how on point they are with my style preferences!
I am on my 4th fix. I love the excitement of opening my box and trying something new!
I tried stitch fix once, the price was a little high but id love to win a shopping credit that would def help!
I really like this top! I’ve been hesitant to try Stitch Fix because of the prices, but would love to give it a whirl!
I’ve never tried Stitch fix before, but used another service for plus sizes. I’ve been focusing on my health though, and am nearly in Stitch fix size ranges! Can’t wait to try them out.
I have had one fix and it was fun but only one item worked. I am scheduled to get my next fix next Friday!
I am a big stitch fix fan. I love reading the stitch fix reviews/unboxing. Not only do I get to see all the cute clothes but I get inspiration from how you style it and your input about why or why you are or aren’t keeping. I do have my profile up to date but haven’t scheduled my first fix due to being out of town so much lately.
Oh man, what a fun idea for your box! I am in LOVE with those sandals. Might have to request them in my fix!
I love Stitch Fix!! I’ve only done it a couple times, but I like that they send me things I wouldn’t normally pick out for myself, but end up loving!
I have wanted to try Stitch Fix forever and have always hesitated due to another cost. But am feeling in a rut with my wardrobe lately and need a boost!
I have tried Stitch Fix in the past and honestly, I would have to give it mixed reviews. I would like to give them another try now that I have updated my profile.
just tried my first fix on yesterday and I loved it!
I haven’t tried it yet and I hope I win so I can!
I’ve had five fixes! I love the surprise of it!
I have never tried Stitch Fix before, but I really want to!

I have tried Stitch Fix before and it has been a great experience. I live in a small town and the closest mall is nearly 90 miles away. Stitch Fix allows me to try new trends and purchase items I really don’t have access to on a normal basis. I love the fact that I can try on new items and return them if they dont work for me. Thanks for the fun give away. I love the whole outfit idea!! Susan
that’s awesome, susan! i’m so glad you’ve loved it!!
i have tried stitch fix before and absolutely love it! I am the person that always stayed in my comfort zone and stitch fix allowed me to be more open to items I wouldn’t usually buy for myself. I had twins in January and would love to win to spruce up my wardrobe for the summer!
I actually haven’t tried Stitch Fix yet, but I definitely want to. I love the posts you write about what you receive in your box and the clothing is so pretty! Thanks for such a great giveaway.
thank YOU for reading, ashleigh!
