Jen, one thing about the striped tee that I noticed: the stripes don’t match up on the side seams, and they aren’t symmetrical on the two shoulders. This is a sign of poor quality (the manufacturer didn’t bother cutting pieces of fabric that line up properly) and it stands out immediately to those who have an eye for it. For the sweaters and tops, if you can try to choose natural fibers like cotton, silk, wool and cashmere over cheaper fibers like acrylic and polyester, which can have an unappealing plasticy sheen up close and usually don’t drape very well. As a bonus, the less polyester you wear the fewer micro plastics you’re putting into the environment every time you wash it :)
Also for those who don’t know, the fabric content on your clothes is always printed on the inner tag (usually in the side seam for tops and sweaters) and if you’re shopping online the manufacturer will list it somewhere on the page.
That was the first thing I noticed too! The stripes match on the side closest to the mirror but not on the other side which makes me think the fabric is off grain which would mean it would be likely to twist when it gets washed!
I agree no reason to not match patterns a no from me
I believe she said that stripe shirt was Sonoma, That is a brand that kohls carries pretty sure it's their own brand. I would never pay 40 something for that shirt
@@Randilynn66 had the same thought. I recognized Sonoma. It may should be 15 bucks.
Have you ever thought about hiring a stylist to help teach you? I had a friend work with one who helped her learn what silhouettes make her feel most confident, what colors compliment her complexion, and they went through her existing closet highlighting what is working best.
The person she worked with was Emmaline Personal Styling. 💚
I agree to the suggestion of hiring a stylist. The prices on these clothing items are way too high. They don't look like they are better quality than target.
Look at what you tend to where and write down what the neckline looks like, the length of a top, the fit, the fabric etc You will see a pattern to your choices. BUT, a stylist would help you mush more. Like what things are worth an investment because they are classic etc.
Every major department store employs stylists. When my son (who would only wear gym shorts and tees) was entering college, I took him to Dillard’s and my husband’s stylist. The stylist had a son about the same age as my son. My son purchased a lot of clothes and now looks very “young man chic” and is very confident dressing every day. He even wears shoes that are not sneakers! I’m not going to tell you that it wasn’t expensive. The difference is that he is confident, looks modern and feels like a young man, not a boy. He has purchased other items (without the stylist) that work for him and his new “look”. So he definitely learned how to dress from spending half a day with this stylist. I think it’s totally worth it. First impressions matter and sometimes people take you more seriously if you show that you are taking time to dress nicely and appropriately.
And...maybe you could film it!!
@@pouffyhead Remember the show “What Not to Wear”? Jen version.
Your friend must be in Virginia, because “Emmaline Personal Styling” is who I’m looking into
I’m done with stitch fix since they never pay attention to the notes and my preferences. In all caps I’ve put “ no floral prints!” And I get floral in every box. I’m convinced there’s no actual “ stylist” and the boxes are just packed at random.
Another comment said a former stylist answered questions on Reddit, and confirmed there is no personalization- they’re getting rid of overstocks.
I agree! I always say no cuffed shorts or pants and no cut offs..... my last fix the first thing I pulled out was cuffed pants. I'm done. This had happened so many times.
That wrap top was super cute! You can always wear a camisole underneath to avoid unintentional overexposure.
I also really like the red pants. As long as the corduroy isn’t making whoosh-whoosh sound, that it would be cute casual holiday party look with the wrap top, or really pretty in fall with a lightweight charcoal or other neutral sweater. The chunky sweater was a little too much texture with the corduroy. I like the cardigan too- it looks cozy.
Both these boxes have some cute stuff, but they’re way overpriced.
The red pants look great with the top. I love sweater dresses.
I got stitch fix for almost 2 years and honestly I really enjoyed it. lt was kind of fun to get a surprise box of clothes every two months! The only reason I stopped the subscription was because we went down to one income in our household and the expense didn’t make sense. I do miss it! The one thing I have to say that annoyed me was that it was always more cost-effective to just keep all the clothes because the discount really made a big difference. If I was planning to just send one thing back it almost made more sense to just send it all back otherwise I felt like I was supremely overpaying for just a few items!
Those ‘Stitchfix’ boots are EVERYTHING! 😍💛 I would totally keep those.
I liked the green sweater and the red pants, but I know I have zero fashion sense. 😂😂
I think subconsciously you know more than you think, if you look at the color wheel colors that are opposite of each other tend to be complimentary such as the red/green, purple/yellow, blue/orange
The red pants were super cute on you. I have various pairs of colored pants and you would be surprised at how well you can make them work. Especially if it is a darker pant color (like the red), and you own lots of simple graphic tees (which I know you do!). I find that it's difficult to match anything that is lighter colored (even just lighter blue jeans).
I thought the colored pants were cute on her, too.
Same, I like the red pants. ❤
Red pants with a graphic t and black or white sneakers or boots would be super cute but a little like funkier than jeans or sweats
Wantable is a No for everything. I like what you picked from Stitchfix. I love doing stying boxes. It’s good to remember we that they’re charging extra for the service and convenience. They have helped me to improve my fashion sense. I noticed that Macys had a stylist you can try for free. I’m going to try them. Also, I like Fashom and Trendsend.
Jen I love your videos. And I always watch every single video you upload
LOVE the cream top it is so flattering and I LOVE it with the red pants. I wish you’d keep the pants you look so stylish😭 I agree with all your opinions on the stitch fix pieces, but I do love the over piece, it’s my favorite. I think it looks good with the shirt you tried it on with as well. OH and I love the boots! They are fairly priced as well
Styling tip, neutrals go with everything…including each other. Animal print is a neutral as well. When in doubt if you’re wearing a colored shirt or pants, wear a neutral top or bottom. If you’re wearing a patterned bottom wear a solid top, and visa versa. Hopefully that makes sense and helps you out! 🥰
Wantable top (where a cami tucked in underneath). Where either the wantable cords /earrings add stitch fix boots and hoody wrap. Also the dress with chunky tights and the boots and the hoody wrap .
I really like that sherpa looking cardigan on you. My questions to ask on that would be 1. Does it have a closure on it and does it fit you when closed. How does it fall on you when closed and is it flattering 2. It looks like a fall or early winter piece. Cute definitely. But I'm not sure you'd get much wear out of it until things start warming up more.
That said, the price is reasonable for a cardigan like that. I'm a fan
I thought everything looked really cute from Stitch Fix! Even that "ugly" dress (which you could sell online). I've never had any luck with Wantable.
The red pants look fantastic on you. Maybe try them with the brown sweater.
The sherpa cozy cardigan would be cute, but I think it's too fitted, should be a size bigger and hang more.
Love those boots!
Yes that wrap top is super cute! Keep for sure!!
I really like these! Also, I’ll never stop enjoying your intro with the makeup/paint brush.
I like the wrap top with the red pants. Super cute
The red pants look fabulous on you!
You should wear the red pants, they were so flattering!
The wrap top with the colored pants would look great together.
Hey Jen ~ I really liked the burgundy pants and tan deep vee top from wantable plus the gold earrings! That was a super adorable outfit!!!
As for the tops and shoes from stitch fix, I loved them all!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!
I really like the red pants on you - looks like a great fit.
I am trying on my new nuuly clothes while watching this video, highly recommend!!!
The first top..... A black or white cami tank. Maybe lace or a pretty fabric. Super cute!
Not as low cut as I thought. It needs nothing!! ❤❤it
You could wear a cami. Or I'd wear my authentic vintage Grateful Dead tank with the cover art from the "Blues for Allah" album on front. In fact, that tank top would look great with any of those shirts or sweaters, or with nothing but a bra (please! Braless didn't work for me even way back when!) You need a signature tank, maybe your own merch if it says "the collective brain" on it!
Girl me to! Give me a blue Light special any day!
Jen, I suggest you buy a white and a black camisole - they're basic pieces that could go under a lot of things.
Either would work with the wrap top and jeans, or the cozy sweater jacket (keep the jacket on). They can also go under a pullover sweater that's scratchy on your body,
I have no interest in clothing subscriptions, for several reasons.
I'm a hard fit, and picky about getting clothing that fits perfectly.
I also have strong style and fabric preferences.
Finally, if I gave them my age they would put me in "old lady" clothing, most of which I find awful.
The shirt you’re keeping…if it’s riding up, add a hook from a hook-n-eye set and catch it to the waistband of your undies…
I have to stitch the tongues to every pair of sneakers I buy because they all slide to the outer edges at the top of the sneaker.
I’ve got ridiculously high arches and a raised bone (my 12 year old inner boy child is giggling) on the top of each foot.
I love the concept of these services, and getting the box full of surprises is always fun. But they never truly hit for me. Even things I liked, usually end up being rejects once I have them in my closet for “real life”. Great review/comparison.
I like the stitch fix stuff and the one shirt you were thinking from the wantable. Also those jeans were cute, but if ya don’t need them, ya don’t need them. I did like the colored jeans, but if you’re not sure what you’d do with them, they’d just be a waste. I think you did the right thing! 😊
No pockets in the jacket…
I think the stitch fix brown sweater fit very nicely. The green one from the other place just hung down loose. Right choice on the red pants. Like the beige top. Shoes - love. Well done Jen. Oh, earrings nothing great
The red pants look really good and would be super cute even when band tees.
The wrap too with a Camille with the red pants would look great together.n
I love the cream sweater. I’ve never tried either one of these subscriptions. I’ve always been apprehensive and worried I will not like what I order. I prefer to buy my clothes in person.I did enjoy this video.
Crying at the Photoshop of Jen meeting the president 🤣🤣🤣
I know this is late but just for future reference, those red pants looked SO CUTE on you.
I love everything you kept, however....I wish you kept the red pants!!! They looked so cute on you ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Love the cream wrap top from Wantable. The red pants are flattering on you!! Looked great with the cream top.
I looove the cream shirt with the red pants!
I was a K-mart layaway kid, too!
Lovein the shoes!! I LOVE wearing construction type boots!
Maroon slacks look good with any neutral colored top - black, any shade of brown, white, cream/ivory, any neutral metallic (gold, bronze, silver, etc). They don’t even have to be plain. I have dark green and maroon slacks and love them. I pair my Christmas sweater (ivory with maroon reindeer) with either pair of colored slacks.
The gold sweater with the maroon slacks is very cute, IMO.
Fellow fashion impaired person here. Love the idea of stitch fix or something similar, never have pulled the trigger on that, but I really probably should. My saving grace lately has been the classy yet trendy blog. There are seasonal capsule wardrobes with item by item outfit ideas and monthly calendars. So if you really don't want to think about it at all you can just figure out what number outfit you're supposed to have that day and then what outfit that is and put it together. Being capsule wardrobes they lean heavily on neutrals and timeless pieces so pretty much anything I put together from the 30ish items is unlikely to look terrible. Might be something to explore.
I mostly agree with you about everything. I think you should have paired the blue sweater with those red pants though. Also, I think turtlenecks just don't work for us ladies with shorter necks. If that dress didn't have the turtleneck, I think it would have been cuter...but yeah, no to the scratchiness.
Goonies!!! 😍😁. Cream top is so cute 👍🏻
Wow I love all your picks from Stitch Fix! I would totally wear each of those items!
Oh my gosh! Those boots are a definite yesssss girl! That cardigan yessss! And the first shirt from stitch fix! You have to keep those jeans from wantable with those boots and the cardigan is a knockout!
The wrap top. Yes! Wear it with some layered necklaces and do a french tuck at the waistline.
Make sure the stripes match up.
Check the thickness/warmth of fleece and sweaters by holding them up and seeing how much light comes through.
Check the zippers, buttons AND buttonholes. Also the seams shouldn’t have huge lumps/bumps of thread - make sure they’re back stitched.
Look at the linings & how it drapes inside of a garment.
I’ve been sewing since I was 13/14. I’m a nightmare to shop with.
I’d love to shop with you as someone who is completely clueless 🤣
Those red pants are so cute. Would wear them with a solid black, white, or dark grey shirt. Just a plain Tee
I've used Stitch Fix, Wantable, and Nadine West. I like Stitch Fix. Quality is better. Also, I am 4'10, 105 lbs, 62 years young. I absolutely CANNOT find decent clothing in my size in any of the brick and mortar stores. These subscriptions are a life saver for me.
I actually love the blue ribbed sweater. Lol.
Me too.
This is always fun. I love the transition with the colored clouds! I thought this red pants looked great on you but you are right - if you won’t wear them they need to go back. I really liked everything you kept and you made good choices. The beige booby shirt looked really nice on you on camera but if you aren’t comfortable - again you won’t wear it so it needs to go.
Hi Jen, in regards to colored pants, I would say black and white tops always match with colored pants and different shades of whatever color the pants are. So if you’re wearing like dark green pants, maybe a lighter shade of green.
I like the red pants maybe with a nice black and white band tee. Or a plain white chunky sweater. That would be nice 😇 merry Christmas to you and your family Jen 🎄
Jen I think you have to think about how you’d accessorize and style the pieces. The wantable sweater you thought was bland would look so modern with a few layered gold necklaces and a low sleek bun. Meaning, don’t rely of the piece alone to carry your entire fashion sense, accessorizing is equally as important!
UR preachin to the choir Gurl!! I'm 50 & my Mother STILL has better Fashion Sense than I do!! She was in Retail & has been picking out my clothes MY WHOLE LIFE 😂 & still is. I'm GRATEFUL she's still here & can pick out her daughter's clothes lol. Blessed & BEST dressed
I loved the same tops you did but to me you looked amazing in both the jeans and the red corduroys - however - if you don’t think you will ever wear them then it’s not worth it. The boots are super cute but I would do a price check as you can probably find the same ones online for a much better price. Happy holidays to you and your beautiful family. Looking forward to your first videos and Live Chat of 2023 🎉
The burgundy pants with the cream colored wrap top would be a super cute outfit.
I LOVE clothes. I learned what looks good on my plus size body. Most of the time though I'm in scrubs for work or jeans and t-shirts. I do dress up for karaoke nights though.
I think you can do color pants with a good top like a black pattern top, maybe even like brown, cream. You just have to find what you like (:
I think you should keep the burgundy pants and wear it with the beige top and earrings. Color pants are great with a neutral top.
Fun video! That green sweater looked really chic on you. You look great in that color. The red pants looked very flattering. Wrap top looked great too. Someone else here suggested a cami underneath. I would say further, a stretchy, v neck one on the long side so you can pull it below the sweater. That t-shirt, to me, looked just right for a grade school kid from the 70’s. Stitch Fix won in my opinion. But really, my opinion doesn’t matter, Jen. While I’m enjoying weighing in, what matters is what you think!❤
I loved the green sweater and red pants and they did pair well because they're in the idr the word but color tone, you looked good in colored pants for sure, to wear colored pants you can just wear a black shirt, the wrap shirt looked good with the red pants too! That color green and style looks really good on you but it's understandable if it's not comfy for you.
I enjoyed the little"high" of opening the box but I can't pay the prices when I have multiple TJ Maxx and consignment shops where I can find the same items for much less. Some of the quality was questionable particularly for the price. I have kept a couple tops that were unique enough and I think I have that brown sweater in burgundy! I also have more time to shop around than others as I don't have family to keep up with. I now keep on the lookout for family members clothing as they are in a tiny town and have limited time to shop when they make it to town.
For colored pants, wear a plain, neutral top. The red pants I'd wear a white sweater with them. The cute neutral top you paired with it was nice, but I feel like it's too stylized? Idk how to explain. You need something like an oversized sweater to contrast the tight pants.
I hate that t-shirt 😂 v necks are not in style right now and the print is terrible!
That green sweater would have been great with the jeans.
Honestly, I have found these boxes send pretty dated clothing. I've never been impressed.
Do you watch Angie HotandFlashy? She has amazing style... She always shows items she has picked out and tries them on in her videos. Lots of Amazon and Nordstrom items. She might be a good style guide to watch! I know she's 60,but she absolutely DOES NOT dress her age. Her style is super classy and timeless with a hint of trendy.
Jen, you are not alone. I do not know how to layer to save my life!!
Yes to the wrap top. Embrace colorful pants, Jen! Those red corduroy pants look great on you. I think you'll wear them more than you realize.
I like the grey jumper from wantable. I LOVE the boots from stitch fix.
The beige top you liked from wanntable would look good with the red pants.
The wrap top looked great on you. On layering, you can wear a cami under it. Any color. One suggestion - if you match your cami color to those colored pants, it would look great!
The red pants & beige top looks good! I'm not a fan of corduroy in 2023, however back in the 80's cords happened 2B happening lol . . . Levi Cords 😉
I loved the cream sweater on you! I think it would look great with some black or brown pants. Please keep it!!!
I love the tan sweater from wantable and the earrings. The boots from stitch fix are so cute!
The surplice top you can wear any camisole underneath. Any neutral color (white, black, beige, gray, brown,etc .)
Same goes with colored pants. A neutral top. Shoes that are similar color to your pants or sneakers.
Or just wear what you like what you feel comfortable in ....
I get it....I grew up wearing my brother's hand me downs......who got his clothes as hand me downs from friends kids.....so totally get you!!
I love the beige top! So pretty! You can always pin it in the front if you need to. I think that was the best thing in that box. The other box had a lot of great things to choose from. I agree with you regarding the dress. You look beautiful in it, but you can tell by your body language, that you don't feel comfortable in it. Thanks for another great video!! Have a merry Christmas!!
The red pants go with the shirt you kept, the grey sweater and the striped shirt.
The sweater dress was cute on you.
I suggest a sweater dress with a different neckline and a softer fabric. Pair it with leggings/tights and the boots you kept or taller (mid calf) boots.
I liked the wrap top and the plaid shirt.
Love the red pants - would look good with the stitch fix brown sweater. :-)
I like the black shirt...but not for $70. Love the boots, and the jeans look great but if you won't wear them there is no point. Thanks again for the video today, I wasn't expecting it. Made my day!
From the first box I only like that beige layering top. I would wear it with a black turtleneck underneath, ankle length free fitting suiting pants with front creases and black loafers or ankle booties. However you shouldn't pull the waist down like that - let it sit a bit up closer to your natural waist so it gets a bit of that cosy careless slouchy look. That's why it's riding up - it'd supposed to look like that.
From the second box nothing jumped out at me. Stuff was fine, but just like, really random. I liked how the top of the dress looked on you, but not the bottom
Jen!! I thought that green sweater and red pants look amazing on you!!! Just not together! Lol a white shirt would look good with the red pants. The shirt you love is a win!
Jen I'm loving the last top you tried on from the Wantable box and those earrings on you!! I'm glad u ended up liked the shirt after trying it on..I think it looks soook good on you!! 💞
I loved the green sweater paired with the red pants! And the wrap top with the jeans is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ( and the red pants, I hope you kept them!)
I agree with your choices. I think I would keep the cream cross front sweater. You can wear a pretty camisole under it to dress it up a little. Or leave it as is with a chunky statement necklace. The booties are GREAT! Def keep those. The hooded wrap, I would keep. I bet it's much more versatile than you think. Over a cotton tee on those days when a full jacket is too much, or with a Henley shirt for an added layer of warmth...makes this a keeper in my book. The shirt you're wearing at the end is an obvi keep. The brown sweater - keep. The earrings...nice. Not too much, not too plain. I'm not shot in the ass over the price, but if they seem like good quality, they are classic enough that you could wear them forever, so consider them an investment.
I'm new to stitch fix just got my first box, I agree so far they do a better job at styling and picking pieces also I'm a #newsub, keep up the good 👍 reviews
The Stitch Fix cardigan would probably be cute over the Wantable shirt that you liked.
Any neutral color top goes with colored pants usually. Black and dark grey would go with the red pants.
Hi Jen, I feel that I don't know fashion but in truth you know what you like and don't like. We need to try the clothes before we rule them out. I do like your clothes that you picked out at the end with the boots 👢
Love the V neck top.
Thank you for sharing. I've been using StitchFix for years. Even have the "style pass". With their keep all 5 items discount it sometimes more worth it to keep everything and maybe gift or sell the one thing you are not interested in.
For your wantable box I actually loved the corduroy pants on you. I actually think they would look great with most vintage style T-shirt's. And the blue striped sweater was a very complimentary color.
I think the grey sweater with the red pants would look really good!
i liked the red dress (it looked cute on you
Beige sweater top is cute but I did notice it was riding up. Very expensive box. Stitch Fix had cute boots and love the shirt you picked. Oh and you can get less expensive gold hoops elsewhere. My thoughts….😄😃
If you have crappy fashion sense so do I because I agree with you on everything. Funny that right before you changed to the red pants I was like put on the red pants LOL I'm glad I watched this because now I know not to try EITHER service LOL that is way too high for me. I'm a Walmart & TJ Maxx kinda of clothing buyer. I just got those same style boots last week at TJ Maxx for $30. $70 for a flannel shirt I. CAN. NOT. LOL I "might" be more "Thred Up" ;)
The striped shirt, gray sweater, and the tan v neck should be paired w the colored pants. Especially if you like the tops. Anything neutral pairs well w colored pants. Everything in the stitch fix box would pair well w the colored pants. I’d you’re looking to go outside of your comfort zone and don’t need jeans you should get the colored pants and all the neutral tops. Plus the adorable boots!!!!
The wantable box: the red pants and the surplice top was perfect! I would put a different colored Cami underneath for a colorful offset. The earrings I would pass on there a little too ordinary.
Stich fix: The boots are awesome, the checkered blouse, yes, that picture of you inserted to meet the President - hilarious!
I want to try one of these boxes - but I need to find one that can appropriately cater to my style preference. I wonder if any of them will accommodate "rainbow goth girl" as a fashion style? 😂
I was jus thinking about how I should start one for alt fashion 😂
