Totally agree! My first couple of boxes were misses, but I felt pressure to buy something since I had already paid the $20 styling fee so that it would seem "worth it." Then I got a box that I LOVED - I bought, I think, 3 of the 5 pieces because buying the whole box would have been too much, but I was close to buying them all. I raved about my stuff in the feedback section and begged to have the same stylist forever and ever...then my next box was suddenly from a different stylist and everything was terrible. I was so angry that I had wasted the $20 fee or whatever it was that I canceled then and there. I thought the clothes weren't really super great quality and were crazy over-priced, too. Also, reading this was a total head-scratcher: http://www.adweek.com/creativity/wh...ix-show-2495-price-tag-nordstrom-rack-159245/I am game. Friends had told me how great StitchFix was so I decided to give it a whirl. I went through Pinterest pinning outfits I particularly liked thinking they would refer to them for their selections. My first two boxes were total misses! I then requested a different stylist and tried to make it clear to refer to my pinned selections. Two boxes later I only had one item I sort of liked. I stopped the service and wasting $20 a month. I will say I now miss not receiving the "box" and they sent me something to not have to pay the fee for one box so I might give it one more try
This is an awesome idea! I didn't know they did that. thank you!!I've thought about StitchFix, but instead, I recently booked an appointment with a personal shopper at Nordstrom. The (2-hour) appointment was free, and I loved the instant feedback. When we found something that I looked good in, she brought me three more similar options. It was easy to try different sizes, different colors, etc. Plus, she was able to give constructive criticism, like, "you look great in close-fitting clothes," and tactful suggestions like, "Spanx are a great product -- would you like to try their bodysuit under that dress?" I left a list of things that I liked, but couldn't justify the price on, and she'll let me know if they get marked down. I did spend quite a bit, but now I have a work wardrobe of quality pieces that I feel confident wearing.
