October Stitch Fix Review

October Stitch Fix Review -- Maliya Poncho Cardigan & Paislee Distressed Straight Leg Jean picturedI think this was my favorite Stitch Fix delivery to date! This is my 14th fix, and for all but a couple I’ve had the same stylist (Layla). It’s so clear by her five picks this month that she has my style down pat at this point in the game. And what keeps me hooked on SF and able to justify purchasing the clothes fix after fix is the wear I get out of everything. With the exception of a couple items, the clothing I’ve kept from my 14 fixes continues to what I find myself wearing on heavy rotation.

If you’re new to Stitch Fix, check out the first post I did on the subscription styling service for all the details. Prices below are before discount (you get 25% off if you keep all five). Full disclosure, as part of their affiliate program, I get a little more than 25% off my fixes. In total, the five items here ran me $200–an amazing price point considering I got three pieces of outwear, jeans and a skirt!

Alright, let’s get to the goods!

Maliya Poncho Cardigan by Skies are Blue ($78)

This sweater poncho is perfectly on trend! It’s so comfortable and cozy. I love layering it over a hoodie or long sleeve, and on warmer fall days, it looks great with bare arms as well.October Stitch Fix Review -- Maliya Poncho Cardigan & Paislee Distressed Straight Leg Jean pictured October Stitch Fix Review -- Maliya Poncho Cardigan & Paislee Distressed Straight Leg Jean pictured October Stitch Fix Review -- Maliya Poncho Cardigan & Paislee Distressed Straight Leg Jean pictured

Patmos Faux Leather Bomber Jacket by Tart ($88)

This bomber jacket is SO me, the only bummer is that it’s a little too big. You might remember I had the same issue with a denim jacket in my last fix, and I left feedback asking for jackets in a size smaller than my normal size, so I was a little dismayed to see the tag on this. It’s kind of shapeless but great for layering over a hoodie so I ultimately decided to keep it.

Capa Cape Blazer by Sweet Rain ($78)

Capes. So hot right now. (Mugatu voice). I have been wanting a caped jacket for a while now and Stitch Fix read my mind! So perfect for dressy nights out or to add sophistication to more casual rocker looks like the one below.October Stitch Fix Review - Capa Cape Blazer pictured October Stitch Fix Review - Capa Cape Blazer pictured October Stitch Fix Review - Capa Cape Blazer pictured

Paislee Distressed Straight Leg Jean by Just Black ($88)

Every time Stitch Fix sends me a pair of skinny jeans, they fit perfectly and I wear them on heavy rotation. These are no exception! That being said, I may have to change my settings to stop receiving pants because the number of pairs I have is getting a little excessive (not a bad problem to have!).

Melina Printed Pencil Skirt by Belle Bird ($44)

Skirts like this are something I rarely think to buy, but I’m always so happy to have them when casually dressy occasions come up (birthdays, baby showers, etc.). And I actually got the idea for pairing it with a striped top from the style card included with the fix–the first time I’ve used that thing! 🙂 I love the mixed patterns.October Stitch Fix Review -- Melina Printed Pencil Skirt & Patmos Faux Leather Bomber Jacket pictured October Stitch Fix Review -- Melina Printed Pencil Skirt & Patmos Faux Leather Bomber Jacket pictured

So fierce.

Have you gotten any good fixes recently? Which items would you have kept from mine?

Random thought of the day: How did Avicii go from dropping Levels to becoming the fifth member of Mumford and Sons?? Don’t get me wrong, I like his newer music, but it sounds like I’m listening to a bluegrass band jamming out in a field barefoot wearing suspenders. Do you remember when Levels first blew up? That song was EVERYTHING. I miss that. I need more of that.

Stitch Fix Review (Fix #10)

Stitch Fix Review - Alessia SkirtI told myself that once I ran out of Stitch Fix credit (which I did), I would be pickier about what I kept and would only get fixes every other month. So what did I do? Scheduled a fix immediately and keep everything in it. Damnit, Nicole.

Juno Small Folded Clutch by Street Level ($38)

I think this will get a lot of use come wedding season. It’s small; the gold color will match any outfit if I’m wearing gold jewelry; and the delicate chain strap makes it fancy enough to be worn with a dress. Stitch Fix Review - Juno Small Folded Clutch & Lennon Top Stitch Fix Review - Juno Small Folded Clutch & Lennon Top

OUTFIT DETAILS | top: Stitch Fix // jeans: Stitch Fix (from this previous fix) // bag: Stitch Fix // necklace: c/o Francesca’s // shoes: Kork-Ease // sunglasses: c/o ICU Eyewear

Alessia Skirt by Eight Sixty ($84)

I’m a sucker for unique pieces like this. I love the longer length mesh over the short lining—so fun! It’s actually a very feminine skirt, but for some reason I decided to pair it with an 80’s-inspired muscle crop and go a little more rock ‘n roll with it. It kinda works/I kinda look crazy, but I’m into it. Stitch Fix Review - Alessia Skirt Stitch Fix Review - Alessia Skirt Stitch Fix Review - Alessia Skirt Stitch Fix Review - Alessia Skirt

Linden Sheer Detail Sleeveless Blouse by Pixley ($54)

This will be a great wardrobe staple. A black, button-up blouse is something I can wear all the time and the sheer detail gives it a little personality. I also love the material—soft and light. Stitch Fix Review - Linden Sheer Detail Sleeveless Blouse Stitch Fix Review - Linden Sheer Detail Sleeveless Blouse Stitch Fix Review - Linden Sheer Detail Sleeveless Blouse Stitch Fix Review - Linden Sheer Detail Sleeveless Blouse

Deena Crochet Back Blouse by Daniel Rainn ($68)

Keeping this top was a no-brainer. Bright, colorful print and a crochet back—so perfect for the warmer months! Stitch Fix Review - Deena Crochet Back Blouse Stitch Fix Review - Deena Crochet Back Blouse Stitch Fix Review - Deena Crochet Back Blouse Stitch Fix Review - Deena Crochet Back Blouse

Lennon Top by Eight Sixty ($58)

The quality of this top sold me—the lining is a heavier, soft material—and the delicate sheer top layer makes it a good option for more formal occasions. Stitch Fix Review - Juno Small Folded Clutch & Lennon Top Stitch Fix Review - Juno Small Folded Clutch & Lennon Top Stitch Fix Review - Juno Small Folded Clutch & Lennon Top

Ok, I’m officially in Stitch Fix time-out after this one. I’ll be back in a few months with another of these posts, but in the meantime, you’ll be enjoying yoga pants and sneakers, my friends. 🙂

Stylin’ My Stitch Fix (Review of Fix #9)

Market & Spruce Corinna Striped Dolman Top from Stitch FixOops–totally forgot I had this post in my drafts! I’ve actually already gotten another fix since these pictures, but the batch of new clothes in last month’s Stitch Fix rocked. Let’s play catch-up!

If you’re new to these posts, check out the review of my first fix—it has all the details on Stitch Fix, the online styling service I’ve been using for almost a year now.

Market & Spruce Corinna Striped Dolman Top $48 = KEEPER

Is it bad that a major requirement for me to buy a shirt these days is that it’s long enough to be worn with leggings? Have I let myself go? Oh well. 🙂 This shirt is so soft, and I love that it’s long enough to wear with a pair of black leggings. For all of you who wear real pants, it could easily be dressed up as well.

Jeans are from my last fix! (similar here & here)
Booties are from Zara (old but similar here & here)

Gorjana Corinna Delicate Bar Necklace $60 = KEEPER

Keeping a pricier piece of jewelry is very uncharacteristic of me. Maybe I’m just getting old, but I’m sick of buying cheap $5 necklaces and having them break a month later. Why not invest a little extra in this classic, delicate gold necklace that I’ll get a ton of use from and is actually of quality, right? Gorjana Corinna Delicate Bar Necklace from Stitch Fix

Mavi Freida Tall Skinny Jean $98 = KEEPER

Gahhh I’m powerless when Stitch Fix sends me a pair of pants. How do they all fit so well??! Had to keep these gray skinnies.

Mystree Gerrie Open Stitch Sweater $68 = KEEPER

I have some similar sweaters, but what made me keep this one are the brown hues in it. I’m a black, black, gray, and more black girl when it comes to clothes, and as a result never have anything to wear with my brown and tan shoes.

Laila Jayde Jaspers Split Neck Knit Shirt $68 = NO GO

This shirt was the only item I sent back. It fit well and I liked the button details on the sleeve, but it just wasn’t quite “me”. The flair sleeves and split neck gave it a little too much of a hippie vibe. Laila Jayde Jaspers Split Neck Knit Shirt from Stitch Fix
