Stitch Fix: How I Love to Shop

A few months ago, I stumbled across this company that hand picks a number of outfits for you based on a style profile you create. They then send you the clothing in a cute little box, you try on the pieces, then decide what to keep and what to send back in the little postage bag they give you, and then you pay for the items you want to keep all while updating your profile and preferences for the next shipment.

Stitch Fix is my jam.  I never want to go shopping in a big store again.

There is something so thrilling with receiving any type of snail mail; make it a box of clothes hand picked just for me and I'm obsessed. I think it's so fun to see what the stylist picks out for me, based on what my profile says. It's like the thrill of the hunt at a clothing store without leaving the comfort of your bedroom.

I love their packaging too! 

Stitch Fix allows me to jump out the box every once in a while with the clothing I buy but also helps me build up a timeless collection of clothing that I will wear for a long time. I have a horrible habit of buying the cheapest stuff I can find even when it isn't quite what I'm looking for to wear and then I wear it until it completely falls apart. I'm finding that investing a little more into some pieces that are high quality and stylish, I am setting myself up for clothing success.

Stitch Fix sends some ideas as to how to wear the outfits. 

I signed up months ago and was on a waiting list for bit of time. I received my first box at the end of June. I tried on all of my outfits, narrowed it down to two pieces, filled out my thoughts and comments on each piece of clothing on their website, paid for the items I wanted, and sent back the ones I didn't. I would probably have kept one or two more things in the box but I was diving head first into my No Spend July and I didn't want to tarnish that whole plan right from the get go.

I ended up keeping a striped maxi dress and a pair of leggings. Not wearing cheap, five dollars leggings is amazing. I wear the new ones to work almost every day I can.

I can't wait for my next fix to show up on my door step. It's like Christmas every single month. They were so awesome and understood my clothing needs as a new mom when I wake up feeling like nothing fits me anymore.

I WANT A STITCH FIX. 

Current Obsession: Goodebox

I love getting things in the mail. Magazines, snail mail, make up goodies, etc. I used to receive Birchbox, which I loved, but decided to take a break from that a while back. But, then I discovered another product delivery service and thought I'd give it a try. The new glorious box comes from a company called Goodebox. They boast a supply of natural and vegan beauty products. I opted to receive the box every other month instead of every month because one of the things I found with Birchbox was that I didn't use the stuff quick enough before I got the next box in the mail. That caused quite the stash of awesome beauty products in our bathroom that were left unused and seemingly forgotten about. 

I have been very impressed with the contents of the Goodebox. I've tried almost everything in this month's order. My skin is far better than before and I feel good about using a natural beauty product.

This month's box included: 

Revitalizing Dead Sea Mud Mask

Celtic Complexion Cream (I love, love, love this product! Makes my dry wintery skin so much softer.) 

Mineral Foundation, Blush and Powder

Summer in Spain Whipped Cocoa Butter (This smells heavenly.) 

Happy Face Foaming Scrub Cleanser (Also totally awesome.) 

Nourishing Meadowfoam Serum

All of that for $16 every two months. Totally doable and then I can try beauty products I probably would never have tried or even heard of before.

Current Obsession: Birchbox

If any of you are like me, you might like makeup, skincare, and hair products. You may also be like me due the fact that you hate spending loads of money on your obsessive tendencies regarding looking good. 

A co-worker introduced Birchbox to me and my obsession has never been the same. Every month, for ten bucks, Birchbox sends me a nice, cute, little box in the mail with a few samples of high end products based upon my skin type, like and dislikes, etc. 

The reason this is awesome: 

1. Snail Mail. You get to open your mail box once a month and find new goodies.

2. The products they send to you are based on what you like but normally products that are too expensive for you to just buy right out of the store. 

I've discovered face masks I adore, mascara I really can't live without, and even tried new colors on my fingernails. It's wonderful. 

I just had to share. Sign up if you'd like, you don't have to, but seriously, such a fun little gift to yourself for the cost of a few lattes! What woman doesn't need some pampering every once in a while?
