I have 4 kids who are home 24/7 and never stop eating, a pack of dogs, a job where I work from home full-time, a partridge and a freaking pear tree. 3 years later, my wardrobe is still filled with the items I got from my Stitch Fix days. I kept every item my dear Layla ever chose for me (she went on leave for 6 weeks during that summer of 2017 and I felt like I was missing a dear friend, replacement stylist Ashley tried her best, but she didn’t GET ME like Layla did). Each box had 5 items, ranging from jeans and dress pants to blouses and blazers, from maxi dresses to Toms shoes and accessories and more. I will say: Stitch Fix (at least, back then) was not cheap. I did Stitch Fix once a month for all of 2017, which built up my closet with clothes not just for work, but for date nights (back before the “ours” baby, when date night didn’t consist of Door Dashing our favorite brew pub burgers, minus the delicious beer because we don’t drink during the week, because we’re tired and the toddler still refuses to sleep at 20 months old). My stylist, Layla, hit my style (that I didn’t know I had), body type (I’m short and heavy-chested, not everything fits us well-endowed ladies in a flattering way), and what I needed for work SPOT ON. You can also pick your price ranges for items, so your “personal stylist” sends you items that fit in your budget.Īfter one box, I was hooked. If you haven’t done one of these outfit subscription boxes before, you start out by taking a style quiz online to determine what your “style” is (I thought mine was a combination of yoga pants-wearing hobo and tie-dye t-shirt hot mess mom) and then the style gods determine what type of items to send you. One of my new coworkers dressed SO cute every single day, and she also had 3 kids and I was like, how do you dress so cute? Teach me your ways. I got a few staple items from JC Penney (a handful of wrap dresses–which is super impressive if you know me because before this I would NEVER wear a dress voluntarily–a few blouses, dress slacks, etc.) and these got me through my first few weeks at the new job, but I still needed more. I was not a real adult, let alone an adult who dressed like other adults. This was my first job where “not-so-casual” business attire was required, and the week before I started my new job, I panicked. Back in the day (circa 2016-2018), I worked for a large local pharmaceutical company and went into the office 3-4 days a week.
