June Stitch Fix Review & Link-Up
I really feel like one of these days I’m not going to get excited when the Stitch Fix box shows up on my doorstep. I don’t feel like that’s going to happen anytime soon… because STILL, over a year later, when that box shows up, I’m all like, “YAY!!!! HUZZAH!!! IT’S HERE! WOOPDEE DOO!!!!!”
I mean, I try to be cool, calm, and collected… but what I really do is this:
Anyway. Without further ado… it’s time for my June Stitch Fix review! (My settings stayed the same this month AND I kept my stylist, Kimberly!)
41Hawthorn “Lisbon Stud Detail Blouse” – Size XL – $58
I love classic pieces and this classic black blouse is beautiful. The material is a bit sheer and hard to describe. It is a blend, but it’s almost a little stretchy. For me, it was good, but not great. Also, there was something funky happening with the studs on the sleeves. I’m not quite sure how to describe it.
I also felt like it was a little big – which actually was a bit of a common thread this fix. I think it’s time to start sizing down! Which is a GOOD problem! 🙂 Well, it’s not even a problem… haha!
Anyway, while I liked the top, I didn’t LOVE it… so I decided to send it back.
Verdict: Return
Dear John “Lillie Short” – Size 14 – $58
Since the shorts in my May fix didn’t work out, I requested another pair. This pair, while it’s tough to tell in the pictures, was actually WAY too big on me. They were HUGE around the waist. I really liked the style, but I was just swimming in them…
The quality is amazing, they’re insanely comfortable, they were just definitely not the right size.
Verdict: Return
Pixley “Maritzia Scoop Neck Blouse” – Size XL – $48
Out of the box I actually LOVED this blouse. I loved the style, I love the colors, I loved the print, I loved the lightweight fabric.
And then I put it on and it was like, “Womp. Womp.” It just felt boxy on me. It was definitely too big and it just was… meh. I was SO disappointed because I really wanted to love it!
Verdict: Return
Collective Concepts “Wilson Tie-Neck Top” – Size XL – $58
This was another piece that I loved right out of the box… and then I put it on… and I loved it even MORE! You guys, this blouse is beautiful! It’s super lightweight and comfortable. I love the print and the color. I love the cut. It’s a top you can dress up or dress down…
It’s a winner!
Verdict: Keep!!
BRIXON IVY “Sharron Pleated Maxi Skirt” – Size XL – $78
I’ve been wanting to try a maxi skirt in a fix and so I was excited to get this one. The color is stunning and I love the pleated material. The waistband is elastic and very forgiving and it’s flowy and comfortable… but there was just something about it when I put it on… I didn’t love it.
It was really long so I knew I’d need to hem it… and I couldn’t picture THAT many ways I, personally, would wear it. I dunno. I probably will REALLY regret sending it back because it is beautiful… I just didn’t love it enough to keep it.
Verdict: Return
So, that’s it! That’s what I kept this month. I only kept one item, but I loved that Kimberly tried some new stuff with me this month.
Have you tried Stitch Fix yet?
What do you think? Which items did you like the best? What would you have kept or not kept?

This might be nosey but I remember a year or so ago, you were telling everyone how careful you guys were with money, etc but now you are spending ~few hundred on clothes via stitchfix ea month. Are they comping you as a blogger? Just curious. One reason i dont do stitch fix is the risk of spending $200/mo on their clothes.
Totally valid question! I’m glad you asked. A couple things…
1. I do pay for my own fixes. Stitch fix doesn’t comp my fixes or tell me what to write or anything like that. I AM part of a stitch fix affiliate program (similar to any other affiliate program) so I do get a discount on my fixes and I receive a small commission if someone signs up to receive a fix using my referral link (which I’ve disclosed before and also any stitch fix user (blogger or not) can refer people and receive a credit).
2. My husband and I budget very strictly and we give each other a “cash allowance” portion of our budget that we can each spend however we want. Some months it’s more, some months it’s less… Totally depends on the month. He likes to buy tools and man stuff, I like clothes and stitch fix. Haha. So I budget accordingly. If I have the money that month to buy all five items, and I want to keep the whole box, then I will. If I don’t, then I only buy one or two items (like this month).
3. I know a lot of people who do stitch fix and just allow themselves one item a month and that’s their clothing budget. I definitely don’t think stitch fix is the cheapest way to get clothes, but I love the service and convenience so much and so I continue to receive them.
4. My husband and I are still debt free and we manage our money wisely – we are not rich by any means, but we work hard and are blessed to be able to afford “luxury” items like clothing if we want to.
I hope that clears up any confusion or concern! I really do appreciate you reading and asking!
That orange and the black top are super cute!

I love seeing your picks, nice color combo in the blouse you are keeping. But hopefully they will incorporate plus-sizes soon!

That orange top is beautiful and I know that feeling, you love it on the hanger and you are so disappointed when you put it on because you really WANT to love it!

The orange top looks gorgeous on you. Like you I definitely would have kept that top! I also did like the black studded top. I thought it looked flattering on.
I have heard great things about Stitch Fix. I love the orange tassel tank! Looks great on you!

I love all the clothes, but my favorite part is the Elf gif. That movie never gets old!
I loved that first black top that you got but love the orange one that you kept too!

My stitch fix this month SUCKED! I’ve had them for a year and I have to say this time around i wasn’t so happy. I might have to try Kimberley. I loved the top and the maxi skirt you received. Hopefully I can get those on my next fixed!

I absolutely love everything you have shown here. That orange top is to DIE for. Orange really is the new black.
Love the tie neck top. Such a vibrant color!
Eek print not price! I got a new tablet and it is touchy! Susan
I love the price to of that Pixley blouse! Too bad you couldn’t keep it. I got the Collective Concepts blouse in a different print and love it! It looks great on you! Susan
Great items! My faves are the black blouse and the orange top. Great detailing and print. Perfect! And yes, sizing down is a great problem…and something I’m getting used to too! 😉

All great items, but I totally think the orange top is a keeper! 🙂 That maxi skirt is gorgeous, but I do know what you mean about wearing it different ways. That color though! HAHAHA
I love that orange top! So glad you decided to keep it as it looks great on you! ~Ree
I agree that the orange top was the best item in the fix, but I like the studded blouse too and I would have kept that. It’s very different. That’s what I love about Stitch Fix, they send things I can’t find anywhere else. Everything else you got, I would have sent back too!
The orange top is great, lovely. And I agree about the “eh maeh” reaction to the Maritzia Scoop Neck Blouse. I always enjoy reading stitch fix reviews haha, I never pass them up.
Have a great week!

I love seeing your Stitch Fix reviews even though I’ve never tried it! I LOOOVE the orange top you kept!

I haven’t done Stitch Fix yet but it seems like such a cool idea! Maybe after my baby is here, I can give it a try! I love that green maxi by the way

Yay, I love reading Stitch Fix reviews, and your stylist always does an awesome job. I love the top you kept. Right now my clothing budget is ridiculously tight but I’m hoping that will change soon so I can try Stitch Fix too, I think they do such a great job!
Great choice! Such a pretty color and a great fit on you!

I love the orange top! I’ve seen a similar skirt to the green one at Old Navy and Target. You could always see if one of those fits better if you really like the style!

I haven’t tried it yet, because I am afraid I will buy everything in the box…love all your pieces!!

The pieces were all lovely, Molly – such a shame though that you didn’t feel right in all of them! I love the orange top and reckon you kept the best… Although I think the Pixley top is gorgeous too – I’ll have it if you like?!! 😉
Thank you so much for hosting – have yourself a FABULOUS week!!
