Tip: Stitch Fix Previews

Ok, so I'm on my sixth or seventh box from them now and if you're like me, you get pretty excited when you know something is coming in the mail.

When is it going to arrive? Will I like it? How does it look like?

Stitch Fix is one (of many) subscription excuses to keep me on the lookout for anything in the mail and in my inbox.

If you're unfamiliar with Stitch Fix, it is a clothing subscription service where you answer a survey about your likes/dislikes, size and fashion preference online. A stylist is assigned to do your "style fixes" and you are billed $20 for their recommendations. You are sent five items in a box, along with style cards (shows how you can wear the pieces in your fix), a personal note from your stylist and a mailing package for any returns. You try on the five pieces and then keep any that you want or return what you don't in the provided mailing package. Returns ship free. Then you "check out" or get billed for what you're keeping by going online to review your items and tell them which ones you've kept.

Tracking Page. From here you can click on the tracking link to follow your shipment or you can "checkout".

I always want to know what I'm getting in my subscriptions. And usually there are previews in e-mails that companies send you. For Stitch Fix, they don't send you a preview of what you're getting to your inbox. Nor do they have it accessible on your package tracking page. However, if you "checkout", you are able to see the names of the five items in your box and how much they cost. I wish they would show you exactly what the items looked like, but I guess that's all a part of the fun and surprise! If you're really dying of curiosity, you are able to Google the items online.

Example of what the checkout page looks like. It will list each item, the price and ask you to rate it. If you are keeping it, you must click on "keep it".

If you're lucky, you'll be able to find images of the exact items in your box, on a blog somewhere or on Pinterest. Unless you want to look at dozens of pretty pictures, I highly recommend not going to Pinterest to look at the items. Stick to blogs. They will give a more detailed account of the material, the fit, and may show you the various colors the pieces come in.

I've been doing this trick for the past, oh, 3-4 fixes and usually the photos by these bloggers are spot on. And it's always interesting for me to see how other ladies liked the clothing.

If you have Stitch Fix and want a spoiler, try this method. If you're interested in Stitch Fix, by all means, I would love it if you would follow the link here to take you their page. (Yes, I am shameless. Click on my link!)

Hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any questions!
