UNBOXING WITH MOMMA | STITCHFIX

Happy weekend! Guess who is featured in today's post? If you didn't already guess by the super obvious title, I teamed up with my awesome MOM for this post! A few months ago, she started trying out a really cool fashion subscription box called Stitchfix, and the two of us thought it would be fun to unbox it for you guys and share her thoughts on what she received, and of the subscription itself. Let me tell you guys a bit about the subscription service first.

Stitchfix is a personalized style box that comes to your door with 5 items (everything from jewelry to outfits to shoes). You can choose to receive it regularly (i.e. once a month) or whenever is convenient for you. You pay a $20 "stylist fee" towards your box every time, if you keep any items that you receive, you get to put the $20 stylist fee towards that item. If you choose to keep all 5 items, you receive $25% off the entire purchase and your $20 stylist fee still goes towards the purchase. If you choose to keep none of the items, you will still be paying your $20 stylist fee. Items range in price, but you choose preferred price ranges, and all your sizes when you take your first quiz during the sign-up process. Here is the link in case you guys want to give it a try!

Now, let's get into my mom's unboxing!

When you first open your box, there's super cute print on the inside with words and direction on each flap of the box. One end says "Thanks for letting us style you!" while the other tells you steps for your box: "1. Discover & Decide 2. Share Your Thoughts 3. Send It Back"

On the top of your box, you will find a return envelope with instructions on sending back any merchandise you choose not to keep.

You'll also find an envelope which includes two sheets - one with brands and descriptions of all items you've received, along with their full prices, and the amount discounted if you choose to purchase all items in the box. The second sheet is a guide on how to wear some of the items you've received, along with a personalized note from your stylist, which is really cool! After you have your box, you have 3 days to decide whether you need to send items back, and you will report this in an online survey, along with your thoughts about the box, any requests for the next box, and other feedback.

The first item my mom received this month was a pair of black suede Kenneth Cole wedges. They were extremely comfortable and super cute, but they are being sent back because (1) They are a size too small, (2) they are higher than her requested heel height, and (3) they are far too pricey. Stitchfix always sends shoes in a cute drawstring bag, but if you send your shoes back, make sure you send the bag back too!

The next item was this beautiful blue and white summery dress. The fit was perfect and so flattering on her, and it's going right into her closet!

Market & Spruce Korrine Dress // $68

The next dress was a navy blue halter-style dress with cutouts. It sinched in with a tie on the side, and hit lower on the waist. This one is being sent back because she can't wear spaghetti straps for work, and the fit wasn't quite perfect. But, we both agreed that we loved the style!

Also featured below is a canvas blue and white bag that came in the box. The style was great since she was wanting a tote bag, but the bag itself was so large that you could lose things in it, so she decided to send that one back as well. Such a cute style for summer though!

Collective Concepts Galen Laser Cut Dress // $88

Street Level Anchorage Striped Canvas Tote // $64

Last thing in the box was this adorable black and white striped dress! The fit and style of this dress was absolute perfection for my mom's style and for her job, but it was just a tad too tight, she was so bummed out.

Even though a few things are being sent back, the winner was a really good one this time around! The first box she kept the gorgeous gold necklace that you'll likely notice in a few of the photos above, and the second box was a no-go for any of the items. Regardless, there's something so fun about receiving surprise items and getting to try on in the comfort of your own home.

And, mom's thoughts? "This is my third fix and I am still waiting to be blown away. I am picky, and I understand that it takes a few fixes before your stylist really gets you. I am impressed with the quality as well as the packaging and look forward to my next shipment!" We're hoping for some good winners in her next box, do you guys want to see her next one on the blog as well?
