In Hawaii, we can't wear all the same fall fashions as our friends on the mainland. We also don't have as many shops and many online retailers charge for shipping or require minimum purchase amounts. If you don't have a lot of time for shopping, don't want to bother looking for clothes online, hate shopping for clothes, are in a style rut, or just feel so limited to the choices you have available to you- (like me!) I urge you to check out Stitch Fix! Stitch Fix also has special sizes like maternity and petite- (like me again!) The sizing is spot on accurate. I've never had an item that did not fit! The styles are also appropriate! I'm pretty sure my stylist Gillian has magical powers :D

I'll be filling in the details soon! For now, have a read or let me know if you have any questions!
Stitch Fix assigns a personal stylist to pick 5 clothing or accessories to fit your taste/budget. Buy what you like and return what you don't like.
1. Fill out your Style Profile on Stitch Fix
2. Pick the date to receive your shipment
NOTE: you will be charged a $20 styling fee, but ONLY after you pick the date to receive your shipment AND that $20 will be applied as a credit toward anything you keep from your shipment.
3. Try everything on at home!
4. Buy what you like and return the rest
You have 3 days to decide and you’re only charged for these items when you tell Stitch Fix what you’re keeping and returning. Check out by logging in to your account to pay for those items you want to keep. The $20 styling fee will be applied as credit towards any items you purchase. If you buy all five items, you get 25% off the entire purchase!
Returns are simple! A prepaid mailing bag is included in your "Fix." All you have to do is drop it at any USPS mailbox. Stitch Fix clients enjoy free shipping both ways! This is such a bonus if you live in Hawaii, like me :)
5. Leave specific feedback for your stylist
If you choose to receive regularly scheduled shipments, Stitch Fix will automatically schedule the delivery date for your next shipment. You can always choose an alternative date or opt out of regularly scheduled shipments entirely.

Stitch Fix Price breakdown and feedback given:
PIXLEY #9618-783
Ellie Elephant Print Blouse
$48.00
Thank you SO MUCH! I LOVE this! It is so unique and subtle enough print to wear in the office. Love the light weight, design, color and print. Only wish it were a little longer, but still LOVE!
STREET LEVEL #9660-126
Julissa Woven Clutch
$48.00
ANOTHER LOVE! Thank you for being so thoughtful in including a removable strap so I can use it as clutch or crossbody style. LOVE the extra pocket to keep keys/phone separate. Love the color too!
PIXLEY #9467-965
Ivy Petal Print Blouse
$58.00
LOVE this too! Price was a bit steep for what I'd pay for a blouse (also, the other Pixley blouse was $48) but I still LOVE it. I LOVE the fit, style and colors. Again, love that the print is subtle.
RD STYLE #10183-249
Jinna Sleeveless Cardigan
$64.00
I didn't think I could pull off such a long length, but it looked OK with the tops/dress. Would have preferred a shorter style and price was a bit steep, but LOVED that it had pockets! Thank you!
GILLI #10025-515
Abie Faux Wrap Dress
$68.00
This dress looked funny on me but am keeping since it fit OK and will look great as my stylist Gillian suggested (with tights and boots). The price is a bit much for me, but I did like the under slip detail.
KEEPING..
All of it!!
Here's the price info:
Subtotal $286.00
Buy all Discount - $71.50
Styling Fee - $20.00
Total $194.50
Remember you have 3 days to decide what to keep and what to send back.
You can also leave feedback. Here's what I said to my stylist, Gillian:
Gillian really topped herself! I kept all 5 pieces last time too, but this fix is by far my favorite! She TOTALLY gets me! As usual, everything fit perfect. I'm so happy! These are all pieces I can wear year round and also layer with ease. It has been so hot and humid in Hawaii and we can't wear as many fall fashions as the mainland U.S.! I LOVE the details too: button sleeves, lining and pockets. I'm excited to blog about this one! Thank you and please let me always have Gillian as my stylist! She is the reason I keep coming back to Stitch Fix and I will be telling all my friends about it too :)
I didn't return anything this time, but if you need to, you the process for Stitch Fix is super simple! For example, for my first fix, I returned 2 out of the 5 items. All you need to do is place items in prepaid enclosed USPS envelope..
And place into any USPS drop box!
You can schedule your next "Fix" as soon as you check out online. Remember, you have 3 days to decide what items you will keep/return, but the sooner you decide, the sooner you can schedule your next Fix! You can schedule regular Fixes to occur as soon as 2-3 weeks (and can cancel at any time).

Some tips on getting a successful Stitch Fix:
Be specific! You don't get a lot of space, but you can make the most of what they allow you to share. Here's what I wrote for my 1st Stitch Fix:
LIVE IN HAWAII WHERE IT IS WARM YEAR ROUND, BUT TRAVEL A LOT ON COLD AIRPLANES AND TO COLD PLACES. I LOVE SCARVES AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED BLANKET SCARVES. I LOVE LIGHTWEIGHT LAYERING PIECES, ESPECIALLY VESTS! I LOVE BAGS BUT WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM BLACK. I CAN'T WEAR CLOTHING IN THE COLORS MARKED ABOVE (BEIGE, GREEN, TEAL, ORANGE, BURGANDY, YELLOW), BUT CAN WEAR IN ACCESSORIES IF MIXED IN OR ON ITS OWN IN A BAG, FOR EXAMPLE.
I also created a Pinterest board* which helped a LOT, because my stylist was able to find specific items I pinned. Also, be as specific as possible and say what exactly you like about the item(s) in the pin. For example, if you like a sweater in a pin, but don't like the color, etc. Be sure to leave enough room in your request box to include a link to your specific board!

*Tip: follow Stitch Fix on Pinterest to repin items you like to your own personal board and include the link in your Stitch Fix request!
