June Stitch Fix Review – My First Dud
It’s kind of hard to believe that I have been receiving monthly fixes from Stitch Fix for over two years now! So crazy! I love Stitch Fix so much and have received so many awesome pieces over the last two years… and frankly, I feel like I’m pretty dang lucky because I’ve never really had a “dud” fix before. But, there’s always a first time for everything.
Now that I have such a good rapport and relationship with my stylist, I ask her to try different pieces and push me outside of my style comfort zone. This month, I requested some items to wear while I travel this month and a dress to wear to some formal events.
Check out what I got in this month’s fix and let me know what you think!
Loveappella “Marleena Knit Dress” – Size XL – $68
*made in the USA
I really wanted to love this dress. I LOVE the Loveappella brand (it’s made in the USA!), the material on this dress was like a VERY soft jersey knit, and it would be a great dress for nursing! …BUT, I just didn’t love it. I don’t feel like it was super flattering on me and there was just something holding me back from it. I honestly can’t pinpoint exactly what it was… because in principle, I love this dress… but in execution, it just wasn’t me. 🙁
Papermoon “Hitomi Peplum Top” – Size XL – $44
This is another top that is totally my style, but just, for some reason, wasn’t a “love” for me. I LOVE peplum, I love the print, I love the color… so why didn’t I love the shirt? Honestly, I don’t know! It was another one that I couldn’t pinpoint why I didn’t love it. 🙁
Colorblock “Beatriz Braided Trim Top” – Size XL – $58
Now this top I kept going back and forth on… I really loved the color, I loved the fit, I loved the style… everything about this top really does scream “me” – but, I thought it was a little overpriced and I don’t know a ton about the Colorblock brand. I’m at a point where I don’t really need anything in my closet, so I only want to add pieces I truly, truly love and / or pieces by brands I know a lot about and know how they’re made, etc. So, in the end, I decided not to keep this one.
Loveapella “Leece Embroidery Knit Top” – Size XL – $48
Gosh… this is another one that I so, so, SO wanted to love. I loved the color, I loved the material, I love the embroidery, I loved the brand… but it just fit me awkward. John actually said he really liked this top, but I just didn’t like it enough to keep it.
BRIXON IVY “James Laser Cut Dress” – Size XL – $78
This is a dress I was very torn on. The color is MY COLOR – I love wearing this color blue. I loved the fit, and I really did like the style of the dress… but, it was another situation where I loved the dress, but I don’t know how much I’d wear it.

Actually I think you look darling in all those Stitch Fix pieces. Everything fit you well according to the photos on your blog. The colors were great. I wouldn’t call this a Stitch Fix dud at all. I suspect you simply weren’t in the mood to like anything that day.
That blue dress is so pretty but I totally understand about the practicality!

I think you made the right choice to return this Fix. The only piece I would have kept for you is that royal blue dress. It looks so pretty on you!
All the other pieces are pretty but just didn’t fit you right. You have other similar items that fit you well and flatter your curves. That pale yellow in that one top sort of washes you out. We light-skinned girls have to be careful with pale yellow.
So, great effort on the stylist’s part but I think you were right.
Boo for it being a dud, but you’re right, that dress is totally your color! Gorgeous!
Personally I would’ve kept the blue dress. But I totally get not knowing if you’ll wear something enough! I have so many items I’ve bought and only worn once or twice. My goal is to make all purchases something I can wear over and over again.
The blue dress is my favorite, so pretty on you!
