Hey guys! What do you think about Stitch Fix? Should I keep trying it or not?! Let me know what you think! Love ya💖 Merch💖 crowdmade.com/collections/alexandriaryan
The “rustic caramel” is super cute but ughhhh $44… if you love it then yes do it. The jeans look nice on your but yeah I would want the support. They have to be GREAT for $80. The crop top is cute but it’s basic I don’t think it’s worth the price. I don’t love the sweater on you, the stripes are kinda weird looking on the arms. The skirt is super cute but yeah $60… ugh. Maybe it will be on Poshmark in the winter and you can get it secondhand for next year.
It genuinely upsets me that you had a teacher who resorted to picking on you for wearing a dress. I remember feeling utterly betrayed when a favorite teacher of mine laughed when one of the kids who bullied me made a really humiliating joke about me and another boy in my class. I know they're only human, but they're also adults with a lot of influence and authority and I am so sorry that happened to you. Your teacher was so wrong to do that.
I had a history teacher embarrassed me in front of the entire class in 9th grade when we had to presentation and to this day I have a huge fear of public speaking because of him. He was honestly the worst teacher I ever had and 20 years later, I have zero respect for him.
That was horrible. It's bad enough you are trying not to get negative attention from other students. When a teacher does it. Like you said being an adult and having influence. It's inexcusable. I saw it some times in my school. I'm really sorry both of you went through it. ❤
I had a 2nd grade teacher who made fun of me for wearing dresses and having long hair. She hated that my mom would do my hair everyday. The teacher would pick on me in front of the class and even threatened cutting off my hair! I was always the "quiet" kid, so I was extra mortified.
I am a teacher and I was saddened to hear about her experience. There are some teachers who sometimes seem to forget they aren’t supposed to be “the biggest kid in the classroom.” Some are trying to fit in with the bullies so they can “connect” with them. All are horribly misguided. Some teachers forget that all students DO learn, just not necessarily the lesson you are trying to teach.
This doesn’t address the issue at hand at all, but I would really love to see your TJMaxx/other discount shopping hauls! I just love seeing what other people find at those stores 😅
One of my favorite things about your videos is that you acknowledge how expensive things are. Like most of us cannot afford the things influencers spend on.
Stitch Fix has been amazing for me this past year, I have lost 110lbs and have had absolutely no idea how to style myself. I'm finally able to wear clothes that I have wanted to wear for years. Also, I've been going down a size every month or two and it is so easy to adjust the sizing to accommodate that. There aren't many stores in my area, and even fewer of those were allowing you to try on clothes right now. My stylist has been absolutely amazing and seems like she knows me perfectly. She has never even seen a picture of me, but she KNOWS my style. It is crazy. I regularly do the style quizzes and it have even bought some of the pieces they suggest to complete outfits. I've gotten 6 boxes and have returned only a single item, everything else has fit beautifully and has been such amazing quality. I preview the items before they ship and pick my favorites. As someone who has been hiding behind my drab clothes for years, Stitch Fix has been a major part of my life change and I am grateful to my stylist! Shout out to Kyla! The pricing is not for everyone, but the quality of the items is fantastic and I have pieces that will last for years.
Okay but can we talk about how rude that teacher is for making fun of a CHILD! for wearing a dress!! I freaking love dresses and looking nice. It is also always a better day if I don't have to put pants on 😂😂
i just wanted to write that, as a teacher im so ashamed and disappointed to hear that there are teachers like her, i always try to boost my students and their self-confidence
I'm not from the US, so maybe I'm missing something otherwise obvious to americans, but why would wearing a dress to picture day be considered a reason to mock a child? Here children usually wanted to dress nicely for school picture day and some girls wore dresses.
As my grandfather used to say, "A sale is 〇〇% off, not buying is 100% off" (roughly translated). So I think you should just buy what you'll actually wear rather than look at how much you might get off for clothes you'll feel bad for buying and not wearing.
Hi Alex, I myself would take a photo of the outfits on and then try to recreate for a more affordable deal. I’d even go on Poshmark and look for the exact skirt and black tank. But, that’s just me. I just purchased a similar cardigan from Ross for 14.99. It’s so cute. Same color with pockets. I would never say anything but you asked. Whatever makes you happy though.
@@Angela-gl8uy agreed, I’ve purchased some very nice, new name brand pieces for reasonable prices. Just make sure to check sellers ratings. I’ve had no problems though.
Thank you for thinking about clothing costs like a real person. I watch Stitch Fix and other closing subscription unboxings on other channels and am amazed at how much some people spend on things without blinking an eye. It's nice to see someone who shops like I do! I would suggest writing down the information about all the pieces you liked and looking on ebay, mercari, and poshmark.
While this is true,you have to also keep in mind that most of these people that buy with batting an eyelash is not just frivolous with money. If they make a video and earn money off of it, then that haul becomes a business expense. So it is ultimately lowers their income for taxes and they get clothes from it which they can resell and make money.
So understand your concern at the prices. I get at least 80% of my clothes at thrift stores or Ebay used. I don't like the idea for spending over 10 dollars for a shirt and about 12 for jeans.
That's fair when it's second hand, but in general we've been lied to about how much clothes cost since the advent of fast fashion. We really shouldn't be able to buy clothes for under $30 minimum.
I’m fortunate to live in an area with tons of discount stores. One chain that started locally, kinda branching out, is Gabes/Gabriel Brothers. It started in a tiny strip mall when I was kid and the clothes would be in boxes on the floor and priced flat from .25 to $5. Their father technically started it during the Depression with a horse and buggy, going door to door, but the sons took it to retail in the 80’s. But, the clothes you would find in high end retail stores you find there for amazing prices. I have bought coats marked at $300 for $20, for instance. Love that store. I have also found perfumes, purses, shoes, homewares, etc. You can walk out with huge bags of stuff and spend 10% what regular retail would have been at the mall. My grandson loves that store. People love or hate it, because it’s not the most organized store. I always have really good luck, my mom hates it, lol. I can’t bring myself to spend more than $10 on any piece of clothing in general.
I really like Stitch Fix I live out in the sticks and the closest shopping is over an hour away so if I know I have something special coming up I can ask for specific things. I also get my business clothes and it makes a great refresh to my work attire!! I only get the box every 3 months but can request an extra if I have something coming up.
Have you ever tried Le Tote? They are great for business type clothing. It’s a clothing rental company with the option to buy at a discount. I used them for a long time and was always very happy with the clothing and how easy the service is to use.
😭 your picture day story is very upsetting. Why adults ever comment on children in that way will never make sense. Also, the set up in the room where you tried everything on was set so beautifully. I bet your store is so cute.
I loved wearing dresses. I would have been so humiliated had a teacher laughed at me. I finally stopped loving to wear dresses in 5th grade when i learned that basically none of the other girls really liked dresses. Had a teacher called me out on it, I would have had a really hard time.
I have two friends that work for Stitch Fix and we discovered that most the brands from Stitch Fix are sold in TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. Exact items but double the price or more on Stitch Fix
Keep the skirt, you won’t find anything else like it and it’s sounds like you would get a lot of use out of it. It’s also something you could wear through all the seasons
I used to feel the same way about clothes but now I prefer to invest in quality pieces that will last for a long time and won’t need to be replaced as quickly.
I would personally just keep the skirt. You really loved it, and to have something you love that much for $40 is worth it. The cardigan is cute, but not unique enough to pay that price, in my opinion.
The thing I live by when it comes to buying things: If I absolutely love it, I get it. If I'm not sure, then it's a no. That philosophy has worked well for me thus far!
I would get the cardigan. It looked good on you. And then try Poshmark or Threadup to see if you can find the exact skirt at a cheaper price. That cardigan is a good price, I think.
You should definitely keep the cardigan; I feel like you can’t find the skirt again even though it was super cute, not worth the money I think. The only other thing I would consider keeping was the black tank because it looked so good on you and it’s a basic that will last you a long time.
Agreed. I was surprised the skirt made its way back into the selection. I personally think something more high-waisted or short and flared would be more flattering. The black tank was cute and versatile.
I feel like the tank top was so basic she could find something similar in a cheaper store, same goes for the cardigan. The skirt was pretty unique yet versatile, I understand why she kept it
I tried stitch fix. I did it for 6 months and only kept 3 things all in all. It was like they didn’t listen to my feedback or preferences. They are super expensive as well.
@@friendlyneighborhoodcrypti9294 to an extent. They allow you to pick $20-$30, $31-$40, etc etc. and what price points you want and if you’d rather them be cheaper or more expensive but the jeans to me almost always hit above the price points I put which is annoying.
i would just keep the skirt! it’s unique & pretty & fit you amazingly! plus, since it’s a known brand name you might get a decent amount for it if you sell it second hand later. the cardigan is nice but it looks like every other cardigan, and you can find nice cardigans almost identical to it for way cheaper
I'd keep either the cardigan or the tank. You'll get to apply the styling fee and just pay the difference. I agree, those prices are high!! Great video :)
I can see the appeal, actually: I dress like as a 12 year old boy (my standard outfit is athleisure, a Metallica t-shirt and a hoodie) and I'm a 42 year old woman. I could probably do with some outside influence in the fashion department. There is no similar service available in my native Norway at the moment, but I really enjoy watching these types of videos.
The way I shop when it comes to more expensive pieces is this: I'm going to love it the best in the store (in your case right out of the box) so if I don't absolutely love everything about it, I don't buy it. Plus, Target has a great fall cozy section right now ;)
I did Stitch Fix for quite some time because I was obsessed with the quality of the clothes. The jeans I got from there are insanely comfortable and the stylists get a lot better as time passes!
I love it! And everything I get is amazing. Personally the jeans are my favorite. I used to buy from Express and had the hardest time finding ones that fit well. Stitch fix jeans fit like a glove.
Maybe I'm out of the loop but those prices seem very steep to me, especially the skirt! Even with the discounts I couldn't justify it myself, especially when I've seen similar things for far less. Don't fall for their tricks, only buy what you definitely want! Just use it as inspiration for your next in-person shop. 🖤
I would keep either the skirt or the tank. Apply your styling fee. That way the tank is only 10 bucks out of your pocket since you've already paid the $20. Or the skirt is 40 since you've already paid the 20. The cardigan is cute but you can find that anywhere. Just decide which one you like better.
those are going to be your "thanksgiving" jeans. MY sisters favorite holiday and she always makes sure she wears a looser in the belly jeans for that day as she really , really loves thanksgiving types of meals. However I also think they look amazing on you and that they might even shrink in wash/dryer a little bit.
Thats how my mom's experience was. They for some reason sent a bodycon tank top despite it not meeting any of her requirements. I swear they do it on purpose
This just happened to me with my kids stitch fix last week. We live in AZ, they sent a box with a pair of swim shorts and a long sleeve winter t-shirt in it. Kept them both because of the discount but the swim shorts won’t be used long this season if at all and my kid will be lucky to wear the long sleeve t-shirt by December. It didn’t make any sense and I was aggravated by the discount tricking me into keeping it all.
I love stitch fix! It’s a great way to find pieces you may not usually find! Great option to be able to try things on too! Perfect for those who do not like to shop in store!
I used Stitch Fix because 1. I hate to shop, I have very few options in my town. 2. I changed careers and went from clinical Healthcare, wore scrubs everyday to a job where I needed to wear business casual. It was perfect for me. I always communicated with the stylist what I was looking for and got some great pieces!
Another creator I watch was reviewing another box of this type. She said "it encourages lukewarm buying". I totally agree. It's so easy to get caught up in the "deal" and you already have the stuff there. But the truth is you're too cute for that boxy sweater and those ill-fitting jeans. If you tried them on in a store you would pass. And that tank top, although it was super cute on you, is absolutely something you could find at like Forever 21 for like 1/3 of the price. Just my two cents
I get Stitch Fix in the UK. I chose the lowest price tier and in the year I’ve had it have had a box every 3 months. Have kept 2-3 of the items in each box and have been pleased with them. In last box I was able to choose from a selection before they were posted which I think was a really good idea.
I used to be a stylist for another company! I worked for a plus size company, so most people who buy those sizes are pretty used to shopping online and having to order clothes to try them on and then send them back, and lots of their customers don’t live close to plus size stores. If you’re able to reliably shop in person…I’m not really sure what the draw is.
Yeah, the people I've seen love stitch fix the most are like busy moms who don't have time for clothes shopping which makes sense to me. For people who have time and access to a variety of shops? Not worth it, unless you really hate shopping maybe??
I love that skirt and think you'd wear it a BUNCH! And you clearly love the cardigan. I agree the sweater wasn't the *most* flattering and I'd have sent it back, too. The thing about Stitch Fix is the more you shop, the closer they get to your actual style (so long as you're totally honest about what you do and don't like about each item). And sometimes I'm really surprised by things I'd think I hate until I put it on! AND, I don't love shopping. Also, it doesn't cost you anything but you're time and a styling fee. So keep trying!
I have several health issues and pain constantly. I hate to shop. Stitch Fix is a help and convenience for me. It may be more expense to have someone pick out clothes for me and send them do my door, but it’s a service I am willing to pay for.
If the quality is there I can see me buying more expensive things, but if the quality of the pieces is average is a pass, plus I concider also the wearability of the clothing that is important too. I don't care about brands much unless the fabric they use and manufacturing is good.
I've used Stich Fix when I wanted to explore different brands and styles for my wardrobe. I got several things that I really liked and was able to try some brands that I still shop at today. I think the best thing was a really cute summer dress with pockets that I still have after several years. I think Stich Fix is a good box if you have something you want to try or an occasion or like my husband who just hates everything about shopping :). You get 2 or 3 boxes and expand your wardrobe with things that you like and then cancel until you need them again. I don't think this is a box that you get for years and years every month.
Agree 100%....I just don't understand $60 for that skirt. I mean it's just a relatively small tube of fabric!!!! And that's it!!! Sorry, NOT worth $60....but the sweater is really pretty and depending on the quality $40 is...ok pricewise. The tank you can find at Walmart for $12! $30 FOR A TANK TOP???? They must think we are either extremely wealthy (money tree in the back yard) or extrememly stupid. I just finally ordered a pair of jeans, and it took me forever because I waited for the price to to come down. They were $40 and I paid $24.99...so I'm happy....for now. On the plus side...you look cute in everything you where. You remind me so much of my middle daughter (I have 3)...same sort of personality. Love your vids.
For me, this is a great way to find actual plus size clothes since they never have them in store. And someone to pick stuff for me that is out of my comfort zone that I may never even consider trying on. I loved my first box. Sent back the stuff I didn’t want but got 3 great pieces. Will probably pause it for as needed soon since I don’t need a ton of clothes
I have some friends that live very remotely in the mountains so they have box like these. Otherwise it’s like an hour plus to drive to the mall and doesn’t have much.
I love the cardigan! Burnt orange is my favorite color. If you were to keep the the jeans, maybe you need a smaller size. The stretchis perfect for the winter season. They allow room and comfort for those holiday dinners and parties.
I love Stitch fix because I do not have time or energy to go shopping. I love when Stitch Fix comes to my house: my stylist has curated the clothes, everything is my size, I can try the pieces with stuff I already own with different shoes & the right underpinnings. I pick pieces that I love. I don't have to deal with dressing rooms, bad lighting, not having my size, wearing the wrong bra/underwear/shoes, overwhelm with choices, and time crunch. Also, I can try the pieces on why baby is sleeping and I don't have to call a sitter.
So! Stitch Fix can be pricey for sure. What I will say is that my SF pieces are things I reach for over and over again, and they hold up so well. I absolutely love everything I've ever kept from them, and I can wear them regularly for years without issue. I think it's nice to treat yourself to clothing sometimes! Of course, you can find some of these pieces thrifted for cheaper, for sure. But, TJ Max, F21, etc....their clothes just don't hold up the same way (imo).
ThredUP has a similar model, it is called the Goody Box. There is a $10 styling free. Everything is second hand so the prices are more reasonable and I got items that still had tags. It is a 7 day return window. I like it better than Stitch Fix. The prices are better, it is more size inclusive and sustainable.
Hey, so y'all know, you can request an extension past the 3 days to return and pay. I do Stich Fix every 3 months and so fat I've only sent back a couple things. I like the surprise, and it's usually stuff I wouldn't pick out myself. I love it!!
Personally I would keep one thing so the styling fee is going towards a concrete purchase. But only one thing. The prices are too high for what I would deem basic pieces. But these days I buy most of my clothes second hand so idk
Most reviews I ever see for this service involve the phrases "I already have things very similar to this" and "I like it but eh". It's often basics most people have.
As a person without any access to a TJ Max or anything similar, I absolutely love my Stitch Fix and have been a subscriber for multiple years at this point. Also I find shopping in general overwhelming and StitchFix really helps with that- You just say yes or no to 5 items. And the prepaid shipper sold me- I always hated having to return things because it was always so complicated but with them it's not. They have gotten pretty good at sending me things I like and that fit me perfectly. My wardrobe has really stepped up over the time I've been with them. I can see if you're a regular in-person shopper how that might not be the case, but I love it. The stuff you got looks super cute :)
Stitch fix has been such a positive in my life and I love it. I hate shopping and in a year of subscriptions everything has fit perfectly. So far all of my boxes have been a 5 out of 5. I just make sure to rate clothes in the app, put a cap on my box totals in advance with my stylist and communicate what I interested in. My only regret has been not starting soon. I totally get your perspective too and respect your frugal resources. Actually, I am pretty frugal, but for me at this stage in my life “time is money” and “I hate going shopping”. Ugh, the teenager that lives inside of me is screaming “stupid old lady”. Lol. I liked everything except that color blocking sweater. I totally agree with you on it.
I love native deodorant, it's the only one aluminum free that doesn't give me a rash bc of thier unscented variety! All those essential oils they put in there made my skin super sensitive
I've noticed u can get free people at different department stores on amazing sale prices like really good sale prices. I always shop for anything I want on sale and it has to be a decent sale price or I'm not gonna do it. I can't mostly so that's y I'm so sale obsessed now.
I love Stitch Fix. Not all items are so expensive, and you do have longer than 3 days. It’s very easy to extend the try on time on the app several times if needed. As a busy mom, it gives me a convenient alternative and different options to try. Thanks for the video... fun as always!
@@Alexandria-Ryan I'm happy your things are selling, your such a funny character we all love to watch 😊😊 You should put Jimmy on a coffee mug ha ha 😄👍. You'll have to let me know how to buy one of your candles
As a plus size women I have a really hard time finding cute clothes- I get stitch fix every few months and usually keep one or two items - I don’t like some of the prices but I usually get pieces under $40 ( which isn’t bad for plus sized clothes unfortunately) and they become staples in my wardrobe and have been some of my favorites over the years. I do have the yearly membership they offer to some after they have been members for awhile where you only pay $50 for a year of styling and get that money in credits back on your account 🤷♀️
@@friendlyneighborhoodcrypti9294 yeah I feel like if I was a smaller size where clothes are cuter and easier to find I probably wouldn’t use it - but for my body type I enjoy this service :) I loved her review though and her videos in general! :)
If you're not already familiar with it, Woman Within is fantastic. You can purchase everything online (no schlepping to the store), it's affordable, and a lot of the stuff is really cute - especially basics.
I love StitchFix clothing. I stopped letting the stylist pick out boxes for me and I only buy items directly from their store that I pick out. I know their stuff can be super expensive, but I love every piece I’ve gotten so far. I haven’t shopped for clothes in a regular store in almost 2 years. And can I mention their jeans…oh my God!!! Amazing fit and they look and feel so good on.
It hurts my heart too because I’ve had many nasty teachers , especially in Highschool, when school is most trying. I’ll never understand it. Some people just shouldn’t be teachers & if they’re burnt-out need to move on.
It is for people who don't like to shop in stores or do not have time to do so. I use it because I spend hours searching clothing websites and then never actually comitt because I'm so afraid that I will get something I don't like and then have to wait forever to send it back and then wait for them to come back. It was also extremely useful during the pandemic. I have always found an item from my stich fix's. I guess it's to each their own but I'm always impressed with the quality and brands that they send. You can also use Klarna which is wonderful.
Keep the cardigan, for sure. A cardigan is pretty classic, you'll wear it for many years as a standard piece of your wardrobe. The skirt is super cute, too, and you seem to love it. Keep them both.
I have to say I disagree, I used to have a stitch fix subscription and everything I got from them is still in good condition and not falling apart, not stretched out. The reason for the prices are mostly because most of their stuff is sustainable and/or ethical.
This was so refreshing. I love to thrift shop and hit the Old Navy and Kohl's clearance racks, so watching a lot of clothing hauls on TH-cam feels so unrelatable. But a $100 shopping spree at TJ Maxx? Yes please!
The skirt fits beautifully and it looks a little more interesting that the usual skirt you'd see... if you're picturing outfits with it already, you might regret sending it back.... just saying....
I like stitch fix because if you're lucky enough to stick with the same stylist the boxes get better and better the more boxes you get. You have to make sure you are filling out the review of all the items at the end or they won't adjust anything. I have also found that they really read and pay attention to your notes so if your searching for dresses for a semi formal event they will send you a full box of dresses that you likely wouldn't find in stores. It is pricey so I only so a couple boxes a year but I see it as a nice little treat for myself. They also keep track of what you keep and will send you items that pair nicely with stiff you purchased on the past which is kinda cool.
Definitely loved this try-on! Everything was cute and interesting. Since you loved the skirt so much, with the $20 off, it would go down to $40. I would go with that considering how much you liked it. Everything else you can find at Tj Maxx lol. Happy Fall girl! 🎃🍂🧡
Here's how I would look at it, remember old chick speaking, it's subjective. Do you like to shop? Do you like the experience of finding a deal and pieces that really speak to you? If you do then send the stuff back and go on the shopping hunt yourself. Now if you are a person who doesn't like to shop🙋🏼♀️ this service would make sense and would actually be a good deal because you are getting more than just the styling and clothing pieces. You are paying to avoid doing something you don't like
There is a clothing box that I keep seeing advertized on my facebook that talks about how they are the less expensive version of Stitch Fix. It's called Nadine West. Maybe you could check it out and compare them box to box?
Once I was able to comfortably purchase clothing I was willing to take care of and be proud of, I was able to truly appreciate stitch fix. Love it so much. I esp love it for my kids.
I would keep the skirt. It looked amazing on you and minus the styling fee it would only be an additional 40. It would be much easier to find the cardigan elsewhere cheaper, while the skirt might be more difficult. Great video and congrats on the new merch!
I do like treating myself to this box once in a while. I always make sure I go on and set the price brackets to the lowest for each category as I am also cheap with clothes!
I loved stitch fix while I used it. I got over $700 worth of free clothing in the year and a half of time I was actively getting monthly boxes. This is because they would sometimes send a “Give $100 Get $100” link and you can get up to $100 a year. I did spend a few hundred dollars of my own money as well. Where I live it is more difficult to find nice clothing in my size and this really opened up my wardrobe for me and made me more adventurous. You can pick to get less or more expensive items. Request specific items. Request to never get a specific item, color, pattern, fabric, etc. I didn’t need any more items so I’ve been on pause this year but I might start up again soon.
My daughter enjoyed Stitch Fix because they sent her stuff that she wouldn't have picked out herself in a store. It came about after we went into a store and a nice sales lady was helping her pick out a dress and offered this one that she and I both had made fun of on the hanger, but when she tried it on it was absolutely gorgeous on her. Since then she decided to try different things and Stitch Fix was a way to do it for her in her VERY busy life. I tried it too but didn't like it, the stylists I kept getting didn't listen to me so I kept getting shirts that were WAY too short (big boob problems) but I did find my absolute favorite pair of jeans through them. So the service works for some but not all.
I love Stitch Fix. I have a prosthetic breast and a colostomy bag (TMI for a reason) and I’ve really, really struggled to dress to accommodate these. I wore clothes that were 5 sizes too big to make sure people couldn’t see my ‘add ons’. I tried Lookieroo first - it was dreadful. They sent a crop top and low cut top 🙄. Then I tried Stitch Fix, I could have cried. For the first time since my surgery I was wearing semi fitted clothes that covered my bag and boob. The stylist (Lotti) has been so wonderful and makes suggestions on how to wear lower cut tops without showing the prosthetic. I’ve never felt better dressed. I have zero sense of style anyway, so I love having a stylist. The fact she helps me cover problematic areas is just such a bonus. Loved the cardigan on you btw (I reckon a year after getting it, you’d be well out of your return period 😋)
Keep the sweater and the skirt, especially if you feel great in it!! I always fall into the trap of trying to get the biggest bang for my buck but even with getting the other items you would still end up spending $83 dollars more. Go with just the pieces you love ❤️
I used to do FabFitFun Style Boxes - They discontinued it :( - I found that I liked their style more than Stitch Fix. But I really like it for stepping up my professional wardrobe and trying things a little out of my comfort zone that I may not necessarily gravitate towards in the store. I have some really good pieces that I've had for a couple years from it and absolutely love it. You just have to make sure that you love the pieces when you're deciding on it!
Writing b4 try on I love that skirt print! I'm with u on why ppl would ever pay full price on anything! Ok after try on! I love how u go back aND forth w costs I'm same way!
I’d say get everything. For 173 five pieces each piece comes out to $35 so I’d keep everything because you also like the black tank top and the sweater looks very pretty on you. I would ask though if they can change the jeans for a size smaller. I think they should.
I really like that you're doing unboxing subscription boxes that are outside of makeup. It gives your channel some variety and still feeling somewhat like your main content. Idk if you have tried the Thred Up box but I would be interested in seeing that one as a video.
I'd keep the cardi and the skirt; they were the two you were most excited about, and you were actually creating outfits in your head for the skirt, which can be worn in chilly weather with tights and warm weather as-is.
I am stunned at how well matched to you this box was. Everything looked really good on you. I really like the little black top and the cardigan on you but I think you could buy and wear any of it and you would look great
Those jeans looked really good on you, I know you said you were a bit iffy about them but if they are actually comfortable and you would wear them I think they looked really nice. Not sure if this helps but just wanted you to know they did look good
I honestly love stitch fix. I've had five; purchased 3 completely and about 2-3 from the others. I don't have the energy or the desire to shop for clothes and I'm also extremely picky and bored with a lot of stuff. I can tell the stylist exactly what I'm looking for at that time. I got a lot of really fantastic staples from there and I recommend it to people all the time that have issues clothes shopping. Also, there are tier prices. I think there's 4. There's an under $40 option I think is the lower one. My aunt does that one and was happy. I get the top tier. My orders with the discount are usually around $300
I tried it for a few months and got some great pieces. When I first signed up I was able to select that I wanted cheaper items and that helped. I still would get a piece or two that was not worth the price for me but it did help me to try things on I normally wouldn't and then found I actually liked how things I avoided looked.
Hey guys! What do you think about Stitch Fix? Should I keep trying it or not?! Let me know what you think! Love ya💖

Gotta have a hoooddiiieee lolol so cute!
Also, thank you for uploading! Perfect break from work!
The “rustic caramel” is super cute but ughhhh $44… if you love it then yes do it. The jeans look nice on your but yeah I would want the support. They have to be GREAT for $80.
The crop top is cute but it’s basic I don’t think it’s worth the price. I don’t love the sweater on you, the stripes are kinda weird looking on the arms.
The skirt is super cute but yeah $60… ugh. Maybe it will be on Poshmark in the winter and you can get it secondhand for next year.
I really disliked the color block sweater on you. Everything else was super cute.
@@XianaEvilese the sleeves look weird right? I feel like it makes the arms look wide somehow
Ohh and so you know you can stick it in your mailbox.
It genuinely upsets me that you had a teacher who resorted to picking on you for wearing a dress. I remember feeling utterly betrayed when a favorite teacher of mine laughed when one of the kids who bullied me made a really humiliating joke about me and another boy in my class. I know they're only human, but they're also adults with a lot of influence and authority and I am so sorry that happened to you. Your teacher was so wrong to do that.
I thought the same thing, I'm sorry that happened to you.
I had a history teacher embarrassed me in front of the entire class in 9th grade when we had to presentation and to this day I have a huge fear of public speaking because of him. He was honestly the worst teacher I ever had and 20 years later, I have zero respect for him.
That was horrible. It's bad enough you are trying not to get negative attention from other students. When a teacher does it. Like you said being an adult and having influence. It's inexcusable. I saw it some times in my school. I'm really sorry both of you went through it. ❤
I had a 2nd grade teacher who made fun of me for wearing dresses and having long hair. She hated that my mom would do my hair everyday. The teacher would pick on me in front of the class and even threatened cutting off my hair! I was always the "quiet" kid, so I was extra mortified.
I am a teacher and I was saddened to hear about her experience. There are some teachers who sometimes seem to forget they aren’t supposed to be “the biggest kid in the classroom.” Some are trying to fit in with the bullies so they can “connect” with them. All are horribly misguided. Some teachers forget that all students DO learn, just not necessarily the lesson you are trying to teach.
This doesn’t address the issue at hand at all, but I would really love to see your TJMaxx/other discount shopping hauls! I just love seeing what other people find at those stores 😅
Yes! We need TJ Maxx hauls!
I would like to see your TJ Maxx finds as well.
Yes this!!!
One of my favorite things about your videos is that you acknowledge how expensive things are. Like most of us cannot afford the things influencers spend on.
Stitch Fix has been amazing for me this past year, I have lost 110lbs and have had absolutely no idea how to style myself. I'm finally able to wear clothes that I have wanted to wear for years. Also, I've been going down a size every month or two and it is so easy to adjust the sizing to accommodate that. There aren't many stores in my area, and even fewer of those were allowing you to try on clothes right now. My stylist has been absolutely amazing and seems like she knows me perfectly. She has never even seen a picture of me, but she KNOWS my style. It is crazy. I regularly do the style quizzes and it have even bought some of the pieces they suggest to complete outfits. I've gotten 6 boxes and have returned only a single item, everything else has fit beautifully and has been such amazing quality. I preview the items before they ship and pick my favorites. As someone who has been hiding behind my drab clothes for years, Stitch Fix has been a major part of my life change and I am grateful to my stylist! Shout out to Kyla! The pricing is not for everyone, but the quality of the items is fantastic and I have pieces that will last for years.
Well done Jillian.......amazing job
Congratulations 🎉
Okay but can we talk about how rude that teacher is for making fun of a CHILD! for wearing a dress!! I freaking love dresses and looking nice. It is also always a better day if I don't have to put pants on 😂😂
Right?! That stuck with me through the whole video.
i just wanted to write that, as a teacher im so ashamed and disappointed to hear that there are teachers like her, i always try to boost my students and their self-confidence
She's from Kentucky and so am I and let me tell you it seems to be a thing in the schools here.
I'm not from the US, so maybe I'm missing something otherwise obvious to americans, but why would wearing a dress to picture day be considered a reason to mock a child? Here children usually wanted to dress nicely for school picture day and some girls wore dresses.
@@nananoah2084 im eastern european and here as well all the children dress up for the picture day
As my grandfather used to say,
"A sale is 〇〇% off, not buying is 100% off" (roughly translated).
So I think you should just buy what you'll actually wear rather than look at how much you might get off for clothes you'll feel bad for buying and not wearing.
Sounds kinda like what my mom would always say, "a sales not a sale if you weren't going to buy it in the first place."
@@alicine-sims8988 My husband always says that to me when I am excited about a really good deal, grrr 😂. Always poopin on my parade!
Hi Alex, I myself would take a photo of the outfits on and then try to recreate for a more affordable deal. I’d even go on Poshmark and look for the exact skirt and black tank. But, that’s just me. I just purchased a similar cardigan from Ross for 14.99. It’s so cute. Same color with pockets. I would never say anything but you asked. Whatever makes you happy though.
That's such a good idea. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these very items end up on Poshmark.
Great idea about poshmark! Especially for ritzy brand like free people, I'm sure there's a large secondary market for their products
@@Angela-gl8uy agreed, I’ve purchased some very nice, new name brand pieces for reasonable prices. Just make sure to check sellers ratings. I’ve had no problems though.
@@ellecee453 I bet you’re right too. I’ve purchased some very nice items from Poshmark.
the only problem with that is you are paying for a styling fee when you get the box
Thank you for thinking about clothing costs like a real person. I watch Stitch Fix and other closing subscription unboxings on other channels and am amazed at how much some people spend on things without blinking an eye. It's nice to see someone who shops like I do! I would suggest writing down the information about all the pieces you liked and looking on ebay, mercari, and poshmark.
While this is true,you have to also keep in mind that most of these people that buy with batting an eyelash is not just frivolous with money. If they make a video and earn money off of it, then that haul becomes a business expense. So it is ultimately lowers their income for taxes and they get clothes from it which they can resell and make money.
Hi Karen!!
@@meesbees i accrued A ton of credit on stitch fix at first and spent it all
Hi Lucia!
So understand your concern at the prices. I get at least 80% of my clothes at thrift stores or Ebay used. I don't like the idea for spending over 10 dollars for a shirt and about 12 for jeans.
Same. It pains me to spend more than $5 on a piece of clothing, unless it's absolutely amazing
That's fair when it's second hand, but in general we've been lied to about how much clothes cost since the advent of fast fashion. We really shouldn't be able to buy clothes for under $30 minimum.
@@Rose-jz6sx I only buy second-hand. I don't see any point in buying new.
I’m fortunate to live in an area with tons of discount stores. One chain that started locally, kinda branching out, is Gabes/Gabriel Brothers. It started in a tiny strip mall when I was kid and the clothes would be in boxes on the floor and priced flat from .25 to $5. Their father technically started it during the Depression with a horse and buggy, going door to door, but the sons took it to retail in the 80’s. But, the clothes you would find in high end retail stores you find there for amazing prices. I have bought coats marked at $300 for $20, for instance. Love that store. I have also found perfumes, purses, shoes, homewares, etc. You can walk out with huge bags of stuff and spend 10% what regular retail would have been at the mall. My grandson loves that store. People love or hate it, because it’s not the most organized store. I always have really good luck, my mom hates it, lol. I can’t bring myself to spend more than $10 on any piece of clothing in general.
I really like Stitch Fix I live out in the sticks and the closest shopping is over an hour away so if I know I have something special coming up I can ask for specific things. I also get my business clothes and it makes a great refresh to my work attire!! I only get the box every 3 months but can request an extra if I have something coming up.
Have you ever tried Le Tote? They are great for business type clothing. It’s a clothing rental company with the option to buy at a discount. I used them for a long time and was always very happy with the clothing and how easy the service is to use.
I also live out in the woods and I feel the same way.
😭 your picture day story is very upsetting. Why adults ever comment on children in that way will never make sense.
Also, the set up in the room where you tried everything on was set so beautifully. I bet your store is so cute.
I was thinking the same thing!!! I’m a dance teacher and I pray I never accidentally comment something to make anyone feel that way.
I loved wearing dresses. I would have been so humiliated had a teacher laughed at me. I finally stopped loving to wear dresses in 5th grade when i learned that basically none of the other girls really liked dresses. Had a teacher called me out on it, I would have had a really hard time.
I have two friends that work for Stitch Fix and we discovered that most the brands from Stitch Fix are sold in TJ Maxx and Marshall’s. Exact items but double the price or more on Stitch Fix
I was thinking that these items will probably end up at TJMax or Marshalls at some point.
Keep the skirt, you won’t find anything else like it and it’s sounds like you would get a lot of use out of it. It’s also something you could wear through all the seasons
Unless you live in Minnesota or states with winters unless you wear leggings with everything.
I vote for this option!
I used to feel the same way about clothes but now I prefer to invest in quality pieces that will last for a long time and won’t need to be replaced as quickly.
Same !
I would personally just keep the skirt. You really loved it, and to have something you love that much for $40 is worth it. The cardigan is cute, but not unique enough to pay that price, in my opinion.
The thing I live by when it comes to buying things:
If I absolutely love it, I get it.
If I'm not sure, then it's a no.
That philosophy has worked well for me thus far!
I would just never get anything than 😅😅
I would get the cardigan. It looked good on you. And then try Poshmark or Threadup to see if you can find the exact skirt at a cheaper price. That cardigan is a good price, I think.
Buy the skirt!!! Unlike the rest of the items, it’s a unique piece you won’t find easily elsewhere
You should definitely keep the cardigan; I feel like you can’t find the skirt again even though it was super cute, not worth the money I think. The only other thing I would consider keeping was the black tank because it looked so good on you and it’s a basic that will last you a long time.
Agreed. I was surprised the skirt made its way back into the selection. I personally think something more high-waisted or short and flared would be more flattering. The black tank was cute and versatile.
I feel like the tank top was so basic she could find something similar in a cheaper store, same goes for the cardigan. The skirt was pretty unique yet versatile, I understand why she kept it
I can't believe a teacher would make fun of a student for wearing a dress to picture day, isn't that just normal?? I would be traumatized as well 😭😭
I tried stitch fix. I did it for 6 months and only kept 3 things all in all. It was like they didn’t listen to my feedback or preferences. They are super expensive as well.
I wondered about that, can you customize pricing as well?
@@friendlyneighborhoodcrypti9294 to an extent. They allow you to pick $20-$30, $31-$40, etc etc. and what price points you want and if you’d rather them be cheaper or more expensive but the jeans to me almost always hit above the price points I put which is annoying.
i would just keep the skirt! it’s unique & pretty & fit you amazingly! plus, since it’s a known brand name you might get a decent amount for it if you sell it second hand later. the cardigan is nice but it looks like every other cardigan, and you can find nice cardigans almost identical to it for way cheaper
I'd keep either the cardigan or the tank. You'll get to apply the styling fee and just pay the difference. I agree, those prices are high!! Great video :)
I can see the appeal, actually: I dress like as a 12 year old boy (my standard outfit is athleisure, a Metallica t-shirt and a hoodie) and I'm a 42 year old woman. I could probably do with some outside influence in the fashion department. There is no similar service available in my native Norway at the moment, but I really enjoy watching these types of videos.
Me too! Anytime I walk into a clothing store I just get overwhelmed 😭
You’re not alone! I’m 38 and have the same wardrobe as you (and my 18 year old son lol).
@@mandaleemilly6367 I’m so happy I’m not the only one 🤣
Me too! Stitch fix has bumped up my look and my feel so much. I’ve tried things I might not have otherwise. And bought them! Good fun too.
Me, too! I’m 52 and currently in a Def Leppard concert shirt and sweat pants.
The way I shop when it comes to more expensive pieces is this: I'm going to love it the best in the store (in your case right out of the box) so if I don't absolutely love everything about it, I don't buy it. Plus, Target has a great fall cozy section right now ;)
I did Stitch Fix for quite some time because I was obsessed with the quality of the clothes. The jeans I got from there are insanely comfortable and the stylists get a lot better as time passes!
I love it! And everything I get is amazing. Personally the jeans are my favorite. I used to buy from Express and had the hardest time finding ones that fit well. Stitch fix jeans fit like a glove.
Yes I found it amazing the size 30 jeans they sent me fit perfectly but if I try a 30 on in the store is a NO GO
Stitch Fix is crazy expensive! I realize they have to pay their bills too but….that’s A LOT!!!
Maybe I'm out of the loop but those prices seem very steep to me, especially the skirt! Even with the discounts I couldn't justify it myself, especially when I've seen similar things for far less. Don't fall for their tricks, only buy what you definitely want! Just use it as inspiration for your next in-person shop. 🖤
The cardigan and skirt were my favorite as well. Free People is over priced. I agree.
I would keep either the skirt or the tank. Apply your styling fee. That way the tank is only 10 bucks out of your pocket since you've already paid the $20. Or the skirt is 40 since you've already paid the 20. The cardigan is cute but you can find that anywhere. Just decide which one you like better.
Yea I love when Alexandria posts it means I can take a small break from finishing my masters project!! 😁
Ooh good luck!! I’m sure it’s awesome
Oh good luck! I did my Masters thesis a couple years ago and it was so much work but Im sure you will do great!
Exact same here! 🤓
those are going to be your "thanksgiving" jeans. MY sisters favorite holiday and she always makes sure she wears a looser in the belly jeans for that day as she really , really loves thanksgiving types of meals. However I also think they look amazing on you and that they might even shrink in wash/dryer a little bit.
My issue with stitch fix was they would always send one thing I disliked but would keep because it would cost less to keep everything.
That's exactly how my last experience was with them
Thats how my mom's experience was. They for some reason sent a bodycon tank top despite it not meeting any of her requirements. I swear they do it on purpose
And then you end up with a closet full of "meh" items, which is exactly what they're promising you'll avoid by using their service!
This just happened to me with my kids stitch fix last week. We live in AZ, they sent a box with a pair of swim shorts and a long sleeve winter t-shirt in it. Kept them both because of the discount but the swim shorts won’t be used long this season if at all and my kid will be lucky to wear the long sleeve t-shirt by December. It didn’t make any sense and I was aggravated by the discount tricking me into keeping it all.
But you can still return after you purchase all 5 and just get refunded the 25% for the one item. Everything else still will have the 25%
I love stitch fix! It’s a great way to find pieces you may not usually find! Great option to be able to try things on too! Perfect for those who do not like to shop in store!
I used Stitch Fix because 1. I hate to shop, I have very few options in my town. 2. I changed careers and went from clinical Healthcare, wore scrubs everyday to a job where I needed to wear business casual. It was perfect for me. I always communicated with the stylist what I was looking for and got some great pieces!
I love that burnt Carmel sweater on you, looks so luxurious
Another creator I watch was reviewing another box of this type. She said "it encourages lukewarm buying". I totally agree. It's so easy to get caught up in the "deal" and you already have the stuff there. But the truth is you're too cute for that boxy sweater and those ill-fitting jeans. If you tried them on in a store you would pass. And that tank top, although it was super cute on you, is absolutely something you could find at like Forever 21 for like 1/3 of the price. Just my two cents
Buy quality you buy once. Buy cheap you will buy many.
I would keep the tank, skirt, and cardigan. This makes me want to get another Stitch fix box even though I don't need any clothes.
I get Stitch Fix in the UK. I chose the lowest price tier and in the year I’ve had it have had a box every 3 months. Have kept 2-3 of the items in each box and have been pleased with them. In last box I was able to choose from a selection before they were posted which I think was a really good idea.
I used to be a stylist for another company! I worked for a plus size company, so most people who buy those sizes are pretty used to shopping online and having to order clothes to try them on and then send them back, and lots of their customers don’t live close to plus size stores. If you’re able to reliably shop in person…I’m not really sure what the draw is.
Yeah, the people I've seen love stitch fix the most are like busy moms who don't have time for clothes shopping which makes sense to me. For people who have time and access to a variety of shops? Not worth it, unless you really hate shopping maybe??
I gave Stitch Fix a lot of detail about what I like and what I needed, and the stylist hit it out of the park - I kept all the items.
Those jeans look really good on you! I wish they were more supportive. I really really like the first outfit on you A LOT.
I love that skirt and think you'd wear it a BUNCH! And you clearly love the cardigan. I agree the sweater wasn't the *most* flattering and I'd have sent it back, too. The thing about Stitch Fix is the more you shop, the closer they get to your actual style (so long as you're totally honest about what you do and don't like about each item). And sometimes I'm really surprised by things I'd think I hate until I put it on! AND, I don't love shopping. Also, it doesn't cost you anything but you're time and a styling fee. So keep trying!
When I want it to be Christmas cause I heard someone say advent calendar and I want to watch all the calendar unboxings 🎁
I have several health issues and pain constantly. I hate to shop. Stitch Fix is a help and convenience for me. It may be more expense to have someone pick out clothes for me and send them do my door, but it’s a service I am willing to pay for.
If the quality is there I can see me buying more expensive things, but if the quality of the pieces is average is a pass, plus I concider also the wearability of the clothing that is important too. I don't care about brands much unless the fabric they use and manufacturing is good.
I've used Stich Fix when I wanted to explore different brands and styles for my wardrobe. I got several things that I really liked and was able to try some brands that I still shop at today. I think the best thing was a really cute summer dress with pockets that I still have after several years. I think Stich Fix is a good box if you have something you want to try or an occasion or like my husband who just hates everything about shopping :). You get 2 or 3 boxes and expand your wardrobe with things that you like and then cancel until you need them again. I don't think this is a box that you get for years and years every month.
I’d just keep the cardigan, you’ll get the most use out of the over pieces.
Agree! (and she’s basically already paid for half of it with the “styling fee”)
Agree 100%....I just don't understand $60 for that skirt. I mean it's just a relatively small tube of fabric!!!! And that's it!!! Sorry, NOT worth $60....but the sweater is really pretty and depending on the quality $40 is...ok pricewise. The tank you can find at Walmart for $12! $30 FOR A TANK TOP???? They must think we are either extremely wealthy (money tree in the back yard) or extrememly stupid. I just finally ordered a pair of jeans, and it took me forever because I waited for the price to to come down. They were $40 and I paid $24.99...so I'm happy....for now. On the plus side...you look cute in everything you where. You remind me so much of my middle daughter (I have 3)...same sort of personality. Love your vids.
For me, this is a great way to find actual plus size clothes since they never have them in store. And someone to pick stuff for me that is out of my comfort zone that I may never even consider trying on. I loved my first box. Sent back the stuff I didn’t want but got 3 great pieces. Will probably pause it for as needed soon since I don’t need a ton of clothes
I have some friends that live very remotely in the mountains so they have box like these. Otherwise it’s like an hour plus to drive to the mall and doesn’t have much.
I love the cardigan! Burnt orange is my favorite color. If you were to keep the the jeans, maybe you need a smaller size. The stretchis perfect for the winter season. They allow room and comfort for those holiday dinners and parties.
“Can you open a box with a hammer? OH YOU CAN!” - the most relatable thing ever said on youtube
I love Stitch fix because I do not have time or energy to go shopping. I love when Stitch Fix comes to my house: my stylist has curated the clothes, everything is my size, I can try the pieces with stuff I already own with different shoes & the right underpinnings. I pick pieces that I love.
I don't have to deal with dressing rooms, bad lighting, not having my size, wearing the wrong bra/underwear/shoes, overwhelm with choices, and time crunch. Also, I can try the pieces on why baby is sleeping and I don't have to call a sitter.
YAY! New Alexandria video up!! This has brightened up my morning already! And your hoodie merch is so cute, congratulations. ☺️☺️❤️
Aw thank you so much!!
So! Stitch Fix can be pricey for sure. What I will say is that my SF pieces are things I reach for over and over again, and they hold up so well. I absolutely love everything I've ever kept from them, and I can wear them regularly for years without issue.
I think it's nice to treat yourself to clothing sometimes! Of course, you can find some of these pieces thrifted for cheaper, for sure. But, TJ Max, F21, etc....their clothes just don't hold up the same way (imo).
ThredUP has a similar model, it is called the Goody Box. There is a $10 styling free. Everything is second hand so the prices are more reasonable and I got items that still had tags. It is a 7 day return window. I like it better than Stitch Fix. The prices are better, it is more size inclusive and sustainable.
Hey, so y'all know, you can request an extension past the 3 days to return and pay. I do Stich Fix every 3 months and so fat I've only sent back a couple things. I like the surprise, and it's usually stuff I wouldn't pick out myself. I love it!!
Personally I would keep one thing so the styling fee is going towards a concrete purchase. But only one thing. The prices are too high for what I would deem basic pieces. But these days I buy most of my clothes second hand so idk
Most reviews I ever see for this service involve the phrases "I already have things very similar to this" and "I like it but eh". It's often basics most people have.
As a person without any access to a TJ Max or anything similar, I absolutely love my Stitch Fix and have been a subscriber for multiple years at this point. Also I find shopping in general overwhelming and StitchFix really helps with that- You just say yes or no to 5 items. And the prepaid shipper sold me- I always hated having to return things because it was always so complicated but with them it's not. They have gotten pretty good at sending me things I like and that fit me perfectly. My wardrobe has really stepped up over the time I've been with them. I can see if you're a regular in-person shopper how that might not be the case, but I love it. The stuff you got looks super cute :)
This has been a rough week and this video is what I needed 💕 thank you
Im so sorry you have been having a rough week, I hope it gets better!
@@Alexandria-Ryan thank you omg you’re so sweet. I appreciate you
Aww everything looked amazing on you Alex. Hope you continue to unbox StitchFix! It's fun and different.
The merch card in the beginning is super cute
Aww thank you!
Stitch fix has been such a positive in my life and I love it. I hate shopping and in a year of subscriptions everything has fit perfectly. So far all of my boxes have been a 5 out of 5. I just make sure to rate clothes in the app, put a cap on my box totals in advance with my stylist and communicate what I interested in. My only regret has been not starting soon. I totally get your perspective too and respect your frugal resources. Actually, I am pretty frugal, but for me at this stage in my life “time is money” and “I hate going shopping”. Ugh, the teenager that lives inside of me is screaming “stupid old lady”. Lol. I liked everything except that color blocking sweater. I totally agree with you on it.
I love native deodorant, it's the only one aluminum free that doesn't give me a rash bc of thier unscented variety! All those essential oils they put in there made my skin super sensitive
The vanilla coconut smells soooooo good, too. I wan to try different scents.
@@Mizz.Person Oh yeah, trust me if they didn't bother my skin I'd be all about the scents!!!!
Happy to hear our Unscented deodorant works for you!
@@Mizz.Person 💙🥥✨
@@native_cos Oh thank you very much for your response haha thats cool 😎 😄 love it though as long as ît keeps working I'll keep using it 👍
I've noticed u can get free people at different department stores on amazing sale prices like really good sale prices. I always shop for anything I want on sale and it has to be a decent sale price or I'm not gonna do it. I can't mostly so that's y I'm so sale obsessed now.
I have always wanted to try Stitch Fix! So excited for this 🥰
I hope you like the video and I hope it helps in your decision!
I have a $25 credit to try your first fix if you want!
I love Stitch Fix. Not all items are so expensive, and you do have longer than 3 days. It’s very easy to extend the try on time on the app several times if needed. As a busy mom, it gives me a convenient alternative and different options to try. Thanks for the video... fun as always!
I told you Alexandria you would do great with your merch 😊😊
Aw thank you! I was really shocked by how much people liked it!
@@Alexandria-Ryan I'm happy your things are selling, your such a funny character we all love to watch 😊😊 You should put Jimmy on a coffee mug ha ha 😄👍. You'll have to let me know how to buy one of your candles
I just wanna say thank you for having sizes in your merch over an xl! Just ordered mine :)
As a plus size women I have a really hard time finding cute clothes- I get stitch fix every few months and usually keep one or two items - I don’t like some of the prices but I usually get pieces under $40 ( which isn’t bad for plus sized clothes unfortunately) and they become staples in my wardrobe and have been some of my favorites over the years. I do have the yearly membership they offer to some after they have been members for awhile where you only pay $50 for a year of styling and get that money in credits back on your account 🤷♀️
That sounds like it could be a useful thing, I’m plus size as well and finding new brands/stores is difficult so I can see the value in that
@@friendlyneighborhoodcrypti9294 yeah I feel like if I was a smaller size where clothes are cuter and easier to find I probably wouldn’t use it - but for my body type I enjoy this service :) I loved her review though and her videos in general! :)
If you're not already familiar with it, Woman Within is fantastic. You can purchase everything online (no schlepping to the store), it's affordable, and a lot of the stuff is really cute - especially basics.
I love StitchFix clothing. I stopped letting the stylist pick out boxes for me and I only buy items directly from their store that I pick out. I know their stuff can be super expensive, but I love every piece I’ve gotten so far. I haven’t shopped for clothes in a regular store in almost 2 years. And can I mention their jeans…oh my God!!! Amazing fit and they look and feel so good on.
P.S. It makes my teacher heart so sad that a teacher would treat you that way. On behalf of my profession, I am sorry that happened to you. 😢
It hurts my heart too because I’ve had many nasty teachers , especially in Highschool, when school is most trying. I’ll never understand it.
Some people just shouldn’t be teachers & if they’re burnt-out need to move on.
It is for people who don't like to shop in stores or do not have time to do so. I use it because I spend hours searching clothing websites and then never actually comitt because I'm so afraid that I will get something I don't like and then have to wait forever to send it back and then wait for them to come back.
It was also extremely useful during the pandemic. I have always found an item from my stich fix's.
I guess it's to each their own but I'm always impressed with the quality and brands that they send.
You can also use Klarna which is wonderful.
Ooo I have been wondering if Stitch Fix is worth it or not. Thanks for the review!
You are so welcome!
Keep the cardigan, for sure. A cardigan is pretty classic, you'll wear it for many years as a standard piece of your wardrobe. The skirt is super cute, too, and you seem to love it. Keep them both.
I can just tell from seeing those sweaters on screen that they are TJ Maxx/Target quality! Definitely not worth more than $16.99 each! 😏
I have to say I disagree, I used to have a stitch fix subscription and everything I got from them is still in good condition and not falling apart, not stretched out. The reason for the prices are mostly because most of their stuff is sustainable and/or ethical.
This was so refreshing. I love to thrift shop and hit the Old Navy and Kohl's clearance racks, so watching a lot of clothing hauls on TH-cam feels so unrelatable. But a $100 shopping spree at TJ Maxx? Yes please!
The skirt fits beautifully and it looks a little more interesting that the usual skirt you'd see... if you're picturing outfits with it already, you might regret sending it back.... just saying....
I like stitch fix because if you're lucky enough to stick with the same stylist the boxes get better and better the more boxes you get. You have to make sure you are filling out the review of all the items at the end or they won't adjust anything. I have also found that they really read and pay attention to your notes so if your searching for dresses for a semi formal event they will send you a full box of dresses that you likely wouldn't find in stores. It is pricey so I only so a couple boxes a year but I see it as a nice little treat for myself. They also keep track of what you keep and will send you items that pair nicely with stiff you purchased on the past which is kinda cool.
Definitely loved this try-on! Everything was cute and interesting. Since you loved the skirt so much, with the $20 off, it would go down to $40. I would go with that considering how much you liked it. Everything else you can find at Tj Maxx lol. Happy Fall girl! 🎃🍂🧡
Its still technically 60 though, since she already paid the 20. Still not worth it
@@emb_ivy The $20 originally paid goes towards anything you may purchase.
@@jennifarfar I know. I acknowledged that.
Totally agree with you. Marshalls $16.99 max.
FYI, you can request an extension on the 3 days. It’s super easy to do. I’ve done it a few times and have never been paid for anything I didn’t keep.
Here's how I would look at it, remember old chick speaking, it's subjective. Do you like to shop? Do you like the experience of finding a deal and pieces that really speak to you? If you do then send the stuff back and go on the shopping hunt yourself. Now if you are a person who doesn't like to shop🙋🏼♀️ this service would make sense and would actually be a good deal because you are getting more than just the styling and clothing pieces. You are paying to avoid doing something you don't like
You can extend your return date if needed. I’ve had to do it before because life happens or I wanted more time to decide on items
Hi Alex! Hope you’re also having a lovely, wonderful, fantastic day 😁
Aww thank you!
There is a clothing box that I keep seeing advertized on my facebook that talks about how they are the less expensive version of Stitch Fix. It's called Nadine West. Maybe you could check it out and compare them box to box?
Once I was able to comfortably purchase clothing I was willing to take care of and be proud of, I was able to truly appreciate stitch fix. Love it so much. I esp love it for my kids.
I would keep the skirt. It looked amazing on you and minus the styling fee it would only be an additional 40. It would be much easier to find the cardigan elsewhere cheaper, while the skirt might be more difficult. Great video and congrats on the new merch!
I do like treating myself to this box once in a while. I always make sure I go on and set the price brackets to the lowest for each category as I am also cheap with clothes!
I loved stitch fix while I used it. I got over $700 worth of free clothing in the year and a half of time I was actively getting monthly boxes. This is because they would sometimes send a “Give $100 Get $100” link and you can get up to $100 a year. I did spend a few hundred dollars of my own money as well. Where I live it is more difficult to find nice clothing in my size and this really opened up my wardrobe for me and made me more adventurous. You can pick to get less or more expensive items. Request specific items. Request to never get a specific item, color, pattern, fabric, etc. I didn’t need any more items so I’ve been on pause this year but I might start up again soon.
My daughter enjoyed Stitch Fix because they sent her stuff that she wouldn't have picked out herself in a store. It came about after we went into a store and a nice sales lady was helping her pick out a dress and offered this one that she and I both had made fun of on the hanger, but when she tried it on it was absolutely gorgeous on her. Since then she decided to try different things and Stitch Fix was a way to do it for her in her VERY busy life. I tried it too but didn't like it, the stylists I kept getting didn't listen to me so I kept getting shirts that were WAY too short (big boob problems) but I did find my absolute favorite pair of jeans through them. So the service works for some but not all.
I love Stitch Fix. I have a prosthetic breast and a colostomy bag (TMI for a reason) and I’ve really, really struggled to dress to accommodate these. I wore clothes that were 5 sizes too big to make sure people couldn’t see my ‘add ons’. I tried Lookieroo first - it was dreadful. They sent a crop top and low cut top 🙄. Then I tried Stitch Fix, I could have cried. For the first time since my surgery I was wearing semi fitted clothes that covered my bag and boob. The stylist (Lotti) has been so wonderful and makes suggestions on how to wear lower cut tops without showing the prosthetic. I’ve never felt better dressed. I have zero sense of style anyway, so I love having a stylist. The fact she helps me cover problematic areas is just such a bonus. Loved the cardigan on you btw (I reckon a year after getting it, you’d be well out of your return period 😋)
Keep the sweater and the skirt, especially if you feel great in it!! I always fall into the trap of trying to get the biggest bang for my buck but even with getting the other items you would still end up spending $83 dollars more. Go with just the pieces you love ❤️
I used to do FabFitFun Style Boxes - They discontinued it :( - I found that I liked their style more than Stitch Fix. But I really like it for stepping up my professional wardrobe and trying things a little out of my comfort zone that I may not necessarily gravitate towards in the store. I have some really good pieces that I've had for a couple years from it and absolutely love it. You just have to make sure that you love the pieces when you're deciding on it!
Writing b4 try on I love that skirt print! I'm with u on why ppl would ever pay full price on anything! Ok after try on! I love how u go back aND forth w costs I'm same way!
I’d say get everything.
For 173 five pieces each piece comes out to $35 so I’d keep everything because you also like the black tank top and the sweater looks very pretty on you. I would ask though if they can change the jeans for a size smaller. I think they should.
I really like that you're doing unboxing subscription boxes that are outside of makeup. It gives your channel some variety and still feeling somewhat like your main content.
Idk if you have tried the Thred Up box but I would be interested in seeing that one as a video.
I'd keep the cardi and the skirt; they were the two you were most excited about, and you were actually creating outfits in your head for the skirt, which can be worn in chilly weather with tights and warm weather as-is.
I am stunned at how well matched to you this box was. Everything looked really good on you. I really like the little black top and the cardigan on you but I think you could buy and wear any of it and you would look great
Those jeans looked really good on you, I know you said you were a bit iffy about them but if they are actually comfortable and you would wear them I think they looked really nice. Not sure if this helps but just wanted you to know they did look good
I honestly love stitch fix. I've had five; purchased 3 completely and about 2-3 from the others.
I don't have the energy or the desire to shop for clothes and I'm also extremely picky and bored with a lot of stuff. I can tell the stylist exactly what I'm looking for at that time. I got a lot of really fantastic staples from there and I recommend it to people all the time that have issues clothes shopping.
Also, there are tier prices. I think there's 4. There's an under $40 option I think is the lower one. My aunt does that one and was happy.
I get the top tier. My orders with the discount are usually around $300
I tried it for a few months and got some great pieces. When I first signed up I was able to select that I wanted cheaper items and that helped. I still would get a piece or two that was not worth the price for me but it did help me to try things on I normally wouldn't and then found I actually liked how things I avoided looked.
