stitch fix

As soon as I read about this on Kaelah's blog, I signed up right away. Through Stitch Fix you take a survey on your style and sizes (which I think is pretty detailed!) and then they send you a couple of items that best suit you. It costs $20 up front for a package BUT if you decide to buy anything that $20 comes off your cost. Also if you decide to keep everything in your package you get 25% off all of it. They include a prepaid package to mail anything you don't want back.
I'm awful at shopping and now with Elinor I have an even harder time finding things I like. Going to the mall now I'm most likely wearing her in a carrier. So there goes ever trying anything on. I also have the problem now where a lot of my old clothes don't fit just right and the ones that do...well I can't really wear a little dress/tights/cute shoes while wrangling 2 babies and a 4 year old at work.
So I signed up right away. It took a couple of days to get accepted. When I did they sent me a password to my account and I started my survey. I'm still not completely sure on my new sizes so I guessed. The one thing I forgot to mention on my survey was the fact that I'm breastfeeding and need clothes that can easily be pulled up/pulled down or buttons. I emailed them right away asking if that was ok and within hours I got an email back saying no problem at all, it was a common request. yay!
They sent me 5 items. At first I wasn't quite sure if I liked anything. I tried everything on and decided right away one was a keeper. They attach sample outfits on each item to help you style them. When I got a chance to actually try everything on (using some of the suggestions on the card) I ended up liking almost everything. I still only kept one thing and then placed an order for my next "fix".
 feather top-LOVE!
 white sweater-OK
 stripe sweater-EH it was too wide at the bottom for me
 grey sweater-NO I had no idea how to wear this and I thought it looked awful on me

Grey sweater- LOVED! and kept! I've already worn this a number of times. It is so soft and I could use it as a cover up as I fed her. You can probably see spit up marks on it if you look close. 

I already requested my next package! This is the perfect way to shop for me. I have convinced my sister and a couple of friends to try it out too. Remember, if you decide to try it out tell them Caitlin McCormick sent you!
