Why I Am Done with StitchFix

September 28, 2016 17 comments

I've tried. I've tried. I have tried SO HARD to give StitchFix the chance to succeed. Two years ago I was really into the idea of StitchFix and someone picking out clothing options for me. It's easy to get into a rut with what I wear so why not have someone else try and pick new things for you? Well... because they can't seem to understand my style which I feel like is pretty easy, I even made them a Pinterest board to help explain it.

I gave it one last shot the past week. One last chance to see what they could send me. I've seen people receive the CUTEST items, why can't it?

Here's what I got:

THML Pierina Colorblock Jacket - $108

Is this jacket terrible? No, it's not, but it wasn't a very good quality for the cost and more importantly, it's not my style. I love jackets, almost as much as I love shoes, but I can't afford/or want to buy a $108 jacket that isn't my style and won't hold up.

Rails Ellson One Pocket Top - $148

This flannel shirt is really cute ... but it's $148 for a flannel shirt.

Does anyone else find this crazy? Also, it was SO boxy. Pass.

BC Footwear Glow Caged Wedge $70

In my StitchFix style card I said I was looking for things/items for fall. Maybe I'm in a bad mood, but $70 for mustard colored wedges is just a silly.

Market & SpruceCharlisa Zipper Back Knit Top - $44

Ok, I actually really liked this top and even thought about buying it until I realized that it would be $25. The top was $44, minus the $20 credit the shirt was still $24 and now StitchFix charges tax! I just sent it back because It didn't seem that worth it.

Lila RyanNikita Flare Jean - $98

These jeans were just so-so. If I had to compare them, they are similar to Loft jeans, except more expensive.

I ended up sending everything back. The total of everything in the box was ... $468! I really feel like StitchFix was a little cheaper last summer, am I wrong? So, this is the end of my road with StitchFix.

I'm sticking with TrunkClub for the future.

What clothing service have you tried and liked??

Oh wow, I've never tried StitchFix, but they seem to be really off their game! $148 for a flannel shirt? That's ridiculous!

I have never tried any of these companies but those prices are high. It is like they just threw things into a box to send to you! Glad you told us it really isn't all it claims to be! Has Trunkclub been good?

I love that you can actually talk to a stylist with Trunk Club! Stitch Fix always felt too pre-packaged for me. Love the Rails shirt, though. Try Target for some similar options for around $20.

Hate that it didn't workout! I have never tried these services since my style is all over the board. I feel like I wouldn't like anything I ever got!

A flannel shirt for $198?!?! That's crazy! I would be done with it too.

I've read so many mixed reviews about Stitchfix. I feel I would have a very similar experience as you did! For some reason I've never had that urge to try them.

I tried Stitch Fix and ended up disliking it too! They tried to get me back, but I was so over them and their "stylists."

Xoxo,

that's so disappointing that it didn't work out for you! :(

That seems so overpriced! So sad that it didn't work out for you!

I've never used Stitchfix, but haven't seen anyone with pieces in this price range, which is interesting. Not terrible, but when it's not just right it's not worth it.

I've never used a service like that- thank-you for the honest review!!! These clothes definitely sound expensive.

This is such a neat concept. I have never tried any clothing services like this! I can see why you sent the items back with the price tag that went along with them. Thanks for the review!

I have had the same complaint about Stitch Fix...I was so excited to get my first fix and then after that it seemed like I was getting clothes that have been around before and sent back. I like to dress sporty but I kept telling them not to send me the same boring printed 3/4 sleeve tops but it never failed they kept including one in EVERY fix. I was screwed...I would update my profile and tell them what styles NOT to send but I kept getting the same similar styles and you know you want that dang % off but you will be stuck with half of the 4 items you overpaid for just to keep the 2 you just kind of liked. One time the Fix said they sent me these cute ankle boots but they weren't in the box! Those were actually cute according to the picture. I had to hassle with the fee and no ankle boots! I gave up after that...so bummed...
