My 17th Stitch Fix Review and Giveaway

February 6, 2015 Maria Manore Gavin 15 Comments

It’s that time again! My latest box from Stitch Fix arrived last week and I am SO excited to show you what was inside with my 17th Stitch Fix review on the blog. My personal stylist, Layla, selected five beautiful items just for me and the convenience of having those items shipped directly to my door is invaluable. If you’re already a Stitch Fix customer, be sure to pin your favorite pieces to your style board on Pinterest to show your stylist which items you would like to see in your next fix. Make sure you scroll all the way to the bottom of the post for your chance to win a Stitch Fix gift card.

The first item in my February fix was the Mulliken Raglan Striped Knit Shirt from Olive & Oak ($48). This top was made of jersey and I am not usually much of a jersey fabric girl. I find it too clingy and I typically prefer to wear tops with a little more structure. I wasn’t an instant fan of the fabric but I adored the sophisticated playfulness of the mixed stripes and pop of color around the neck.

I also LOVED how well this ensemble coordinated with my new Paloma Leather Clutch from Popbasic. It has a rose gold zipper that added the perfect touch of chic to an already fabulous outfit.

The entire outfit was perfect. Now I just need spring to hurry up and get here so I can start wearing cute flats and lightweight knit shirts again!

The next item in my fix was the Kimmey Woven Trench Coat from Tulle ($88). I loved the slate gray color and the print. I am also slightly obsessed with outerwear so I was especially excited wait to try this piece on.

I wanted to play up my feminine side so I wore a blush pink blouse underneath the jacket. The trench was very cute, but a little boxy for my taste.

The back view of the trench was positively adorable.
It made me sad to return this item.

The next piece was a black pair of Emer High Waisted Tall Trouser pants from Margaret M ($98). I actually received a size medium of these pants in my previous fix. They fit well, but were a touch too big around the waist and I wanted to see if a small would be a better fit.

Unfortunately, the small was a little TOO small. I could fit into them, but since the pants don’t have a button or a zipper, they were a little too tight for comfort. Fortunately, they did fit well enough for me to snap a few photos.

Next up was a Rilo Graphic Printed Tab-Sleeve Blouse from Collective Concepts ($68). I already own a similar blouse with houndstooth print, so I was excited to try this blouse on as well. I love having chic tops with long sleeves to wear in the winter.

The blouse fit perfectly and looked effortlessly polished with my tailored Emer High Waisted pants.

Finally, a Haldis Roll-Tab Henley Blouse from Skies are Blue ($58) was included in my fix. The navy blue color was rich and simply gorgeous. Skies are Blue Haldis Roll-Tab Henley Blouse from Stitch Fix

I initially paired the blouse with the black pants that I already had on. This would be a great outfit for me to wear in the classroom. It was comfortable but also looked polished and professional.

Since Layla had already awakened my Spring Fever with the raglan striped top and the gray trench coat, I decided to embrace the feeling and try the blouse with a pair of white capri pants and gold sandals. LOVE! Now I really need spring to arrive. My capri pants are a few years old and a little big on me. Hopefully Layla will send some cute spring pants in my next fix to go with my new blouse and striped top.

PS – my Paloma Leather Clutch also looked fabulous with this outfit!

      That’s so funny about the blue blouse. It was so flattering on me, but some other items can look so dreadful! Keep pinning your favorite pieces and hopefully your stylist will get the hint 🙂

      Hi Nadia,
      The price range for my items usually ranges between $48 and $100. You get to set your limit and I make my limit a little bit higher because I don’t want to miss out on any really beautiful pieces just because they cost a little more.

        Agreed! I am in the same price point, hope I start getting something similar to yours.

        Thanks for responding. I love your page!

    I just got turned on to Stitch Fix and received my first last week. I love reading your blog – several of your pics have made it to my Pinterest style board for inspiration. Really what I want to ask though, where did you get the two tops in the last two photos of you holding the Stitch Fix box? The crocheted top and the dot top are both adorable! xx

      Hi Amanda,
      Those are both items I found at Marshalls! The pale pink one with the lace was purchased on clearance back in December. The one with the dots is a few years old. On the rare occasions that I do go out to shop, Marshalls and TJMaxx are my favorite places to grab a bargain. Thank you so much for stopping by and pinning your favorite styles. I hope you love Stitch Fix as much as I do!

    I am loving your blog! I’m also an early childhood teacher (I teach Universal Pre-Kindergarten at a public elementary school) and it’s so nice to see another teacher rocking some stitch fix style! Thank you so much for sharing all of your boxes with the world – it’s helping me narrow down what to pin for my stylist so that I can look classy in the classroom (for the five minutes BEFORE I’m covered in paint and snot and play-doh and somebody’s capri sun and the aftermath of a nosebleed and accidental sharpie marks and… I’m sure you know what I mean 😉 LOL).

    I’m glad you returned the Collective Concept shirt! I bought one in green on Amazon in the summer for $24!
    I love your Stitch Fix posts….especially because you dress modest and I can appreciate that! Thank you!
