Why Stitch Fix is Perfect for Mums

Mummies, do you often find yourself struggling to find your style or wanting a change? Or perhaps you were used to going on shopping sprees with your girlfriends but don’t have the time to do that since baby’s arrival? Babies are not the best at giving outfit feedback either…

I often find myself stuck on what to wear for a special occasion or even for work and I’m happy to spend a bit more but I’m afraid of spending on something that doesn’t really work for me.

This is why I was so excited when I came across Stitch Fix*.

Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service for men and women that evolves with your taste, needs and lifestyle. Whether you’re too busy or just not really that keen on shopping for new clothes, Stitch Fix is perfect for you.

Here is how Stitch Fix* works:

You get 5 pieces of clothing based on your style, size and price range for a £10 styling fee.
You can then try on the items at home and only pay for what you like. Redeem the £10 against anything you decide to keep. You also get 20% OFF if you keep all of the items your receive.
Free delivery, returns & exchanges. A prepaid return label is included in your box.

The best thing is, you don’t have to subscribe! You have the option to try Stitch Fix once or set up automatic deliveries.

All you have to do when you sign up is answer a short Style Quiz, which I thoroughly enjoyed!

Then you answer a few questions about your needs, style, sizing and fabric preferences and you can even set up how much you’d ideally like to spend. There’s also the option to let your stylist know anything else about your style and preferences and the clothes you’d like to receive.

You can even let Stitch Fix know that you’re a parent, which I thought was great!

The next step is to book your ‘Fix’ and wait (impatiently in my case!) for your delivery. Once your stylist has selected the 5 pieces of clothing for you, you get to preview your fix, choose the items you want to receive and give more feedback. I loved that I got to see what my stylist had picked for me before my fix was shipped, it made me feel at ease and even more excited about receiving my box!

While you’re waiting for your fix to be ready, you can also keep rating different outfits. This would give your stylist an even better understanding of your style and what you’d like to receive in your box.

The whole process of getting my fix ready was so exciting and I loved rating the outfits. I even got my hair and make up done for the postman arriving (I’m sure he didn’t even recognise me, haha), so I can start trying my clothes on straight away and get the ‘full’ look.

I had requested an outfit for the office and some tops (I keep running low on tops for some reason
