The “All Bottoms” Fix | Stitch Fix Review
I know I just posted about Stitch Fix on Monday, but I realized I never shared my July Stitch Fix review with y’all. I actually had this post done, put it in my drafts folder, and then completely forgot to actually schedule it. WOOPS. #ThingsYouDontActuallyCareAbout #mombrain
Anyway, I wanted to share it with you guys because I tried something new for my July fix… I requested ALL BOTTOMS! That’s right, I asked my stylist, Kimberly J. to only send me bottoms. Pants, skirts, joggers, etc. I wanted her to surprise me, but I wanted to try some different bottoms out. I also requested (as per usual), that she send as many Made in the USA and ethical pieces as possible and she sent some realllllllllly good ones. Overall, Kimberly sent some GREAT pieces and I had a hard time deciding between a couple.
Check it out to see what I got, what I thought, and what I kept!
The “All Bottoms” Fix | Stitch Fix Review
Laila Jayde “Steffi Jogger Pant”* – size XL – $58
*MADE IN THE USA
Okay, I am not even exaggerating when I say these are BY FAR my favorite pants I have ever received in a fix. Ever. Maybe my favorite pants in the history of life, ever. I need them in every color. Now. I mean, seriously.
First, they are ridiculously soft. I mean, I think the material is kitten cuddles and unicorn smiles, or something.
Second, they have pockets.
Third, they are stretchy in all the right ways AND they have an elastic waistband. Thanksgiving pants, anyone?
Fourth, they’re made in the USA!!!! I almost cried I was so excited to see they were ethically made!!!!
Fifth, they’re joggers, so they fit into that whole “athleisure” category… which means it’s basically like wearing pajamas but also looking not like you’re in pajamas.
Keeping these pants was TOTALLY a no brainer.
(also wearing my Stitch Fix Market & Spruce “Lawford Knit Top” – Size XL – $58 from my January fix)
Lila Jean “Dorianna Skinny Jean” – Size 14 – $98
Pros of these jeans: Great fit, great cut, soft denim material.
Cons of these jeans: I hated the color – it was too close to my skin tone (in my opinion) and just made me looked washed out. Also, I don’t know anything about the brand and their manufacturing practices…
So, this was a return.
Sandals are Sseko Designs
Gilli “Courtney Printed Pencil Skirt”* – Size XL – $58
*MADE IN THE USA!
Top is by Elegantees via The Flourish Market (Use code “STILLBEINGMOLLY” for free shipping)
I was reallllllllly torn on this skirt. It is REALLY soft, has an elastic waistband, and I loved the print. It is also made in the USA so I was pumped about that!! I just honestly wasn’t 100% sold on the cut – and if I’m not 100% about an item, my rule of thumb is to not keep it, so back it went.
Renee C “Alexia Printed Skirt”* – Size XL – $58
*MADE IN THE USA!
(also wearing “Under Skies – Alexa Embroidery Detailed Tank – $48 – size L” from my very first fix!)
Note: my apologies for the fogginess of those two pics… I think it was from going outside after being in the air conditioning and my lens fogged and I just didn’t notice till it was too late. WOOPS.
I love this skirt! I have been on the hunt for a great, printed pencil skirt and this skirt fit the bill! Great print, flattering cut, it’s also stretchy and has an elastic waistband, and it’s made in the USA! It’s a no brainer! I can’t wait to style it!
Mavi “Carrie Released Hem Denim Gaucho” – Size 14 – $98
I told my stylist to try a denim trend on me and let’s just say… the gaucho style is just not me. Not to mention they didn’t fit… but yeah, these were just a no.
What do you think? Did I keep the right items? Should I have kept anything I returned?

I copied your “all bottoms” fix request. I pinned those Laila Jayde joggers and was so happy when my box arrived today and there they were. How can something so comfortable still be so flattering?! I’m in love.
I love getting Made in the USA stuff from SF!
Love those first pants! Fun fix request idea! Love that you look for and Stitch Fix has options Made in the USA!
Oh, those Lila Jean jeans. I feel the same way every time I try that color. I feel naked. Glad you didn’t keep those.
And that second skirt!??!?! I love it and I want it!!!! I know if I request it I will get the runaround but I love it!
those pants you didn’t keep-shame-i think they fit you really well, but you were right about the color. i have a question…does something mean it’s ethically made just b/c it’s made in the usa? can’t there be poor conditions here? from this post, it just seems that usa means “ethical, ” to use your term, but i guess that’s not how i think of it. love your fix posts!

Great question! And there’s certainly a lot of discussion that is healthy that could happen around factories in the United States… and while I am certain there are factories that aren’t the best… the standards and labor practices in the US are FAR beyond what they are in many other countries. You’re not going to see coercion, child labor, slave labor, etc. in the US like you see abroad. Companies who manufacture here definitely need to be held to a high standard 🙂
Agree!!
Love the second skirt and the joggers! I wear my joggers from Threads 4 Thought all the time! So comfortable.

OMG! Stop the mailman!! I loved the skinny jeans on you!! Paired with a dark top they would be super cute!! Loved the second skirt too!! Btw, love the Fix posts. ?
Great idea for a Fix – all bottoms! I love the joggers and skinny jeans! And I agree about the first skirt. Love the pattern, but I like symmetrical and the hemline would bother me too. I think I may try an all bottoms Fix!! Love your Fix posts! Susan
