hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so i'm here with another stitch fix unboxing so this is
for august 2020. i actually received at the end of july i'm tending to do about an unboxing of a
stitch fix once every month or thereabouts and i just thought i'd get it right at the end of
the month and do a little bit of an unboxing for you so if you're new to stitch fix and you want
to know a little bit more about the subscription i'll tell you about it now if you have watched my
videos before or if you know what stitch fix is i put timestamp in you can go straight to the bit
where we start unboxing the clothes but if you are new to stitch fix let me explain a little bit more
about this and how it works so you can have it as a subscription or a one-off box but essentially it
is a online personal shopper so what you do is when you sign up it's completely free to sign
up but you do pay ten pound for your first box now you can actually get a credit to use on that
first box which is a 15 pound credit if you're a new customer which will then get you that first
box for free and if you keep any of the items you will save 15 pounds off any of the items you keep
so when you sign up you tell them a little bit about you obviously your sizes you tell
them your likes and dislikes and safaris clothes and things that you want you also tell them how
much you would be willing to spend for each item what brand you like and all these kinds of things
and then they will select five items for you now when you actually order a box itself you
actually say look this is what i'm looking for or this is the kind of time i'm shopping for so i'm
shopping for summer or i'm shopping for a wedding or whatever it might be so then they select five
items for you and these can be anything from all kinds of different clothes tops bottoms
jackets coats bags accessories shoes all sorts of things and they'll send them all to you in a box
like so and in that box you will also receive a label which will allow you to return any or all
of the items that you don't want to keep if you happen to keep all five of the items you get 20
off everything so quite often if you're gonna if you're thinking like i want to keep four of the
items it's quite often cheaper just to keep them all rather than sending just one back depending
on the price of the items so it also comes with an invoice telling you everything about each item in
safaris how much it costs the brand the size and stitch fix do price match so if you find something
in your box you like it's always worth having a quick look online and seeing if it's cheaper
anywhere else and then they will match it so long as you can send them a link and show them it's in
stock in your size and all that kind of stuff so they're really great and the customer service is
amazing as well for stitch fix so without further ado let's get in to my box now first of all my
um the kind of message i sent them when i ordered this box i'm gonna let you know what my requests
were okay so the note for the stylist this month that i wrote i asked to be styled by at holly
underscore stitch fix because i've been following her on instagram and i really like her style
so i asked for her to style me and she did style me and it's uh and i said i'm still on
the lookout for slider style shoes like the ones on my pinterest board from mint velvet
now they haven't included sliders i've had a little peek and we've just got clothes this month
and it's i've also said i'd also like to try a midi skirt i've been
in on a hunt for a midi skirt and i've said it'd be nice if the main color was navy or similar
i'd also love another summer dress or play suit and i've just said that i don't suit high-waisted
styles and i've also linked to my pinterest board showing some of the looks that i like
and i'm also saying that i also like camo print and animal print at the moment this is actually
out of my last stitch fixed box and i really like it and i've also said specifically i'm looking for
summer outfits so here is the little bundle i've received this is actually the smallest box i've
ever received from stitchfix i believe and just because i guess the summer items and the the sort
of quite lightweight and things don't take up that much room it's five items in there there's
also a little card saying that you can invite a friend to sit fix and they get 15 pounds credits
uh when they sign up using your link which i'll put my link underneath if you do want to get that
15 credit and if you do take advantage of that and you order a stitch fix box i also get 15
pound credits it really helps me keep making these videos if you enjoy watching them and you also get
a little envelope like this which includes your returns label you just return everything that
you don't want in the box that it came with and in terms of charging you they don't charge you
for anything in this box until you've gone through an online checkout process so generally they give
you seven days from when it's delivered to try them on what they're great about extending that
date if you want a little bit longer to decide are you waiting for your payday or what have you
uh once you've decided and you've gone through that online process and you've said this is
what i'm keeping this is what i'm sending back you also give them some feedbacks they've got more of
a clue of what you do and don't like and they get to know you a bit better the more you do this um
then once you've completed the checkout process they will charge you for anything you decide to
keep anything you don't decide to keep you just sent back you've not spent anything
you've not lost anything you just pay for what you keep um obviously if you keep everything
you get 20 discount and they charge you for that again when you go through the checkout process
so you also get these cards so there's always a card from your stylist explaining a little bit
about the items that are included there is then also a series of cards for the items that are
included in your box and it shows you two pictures two different ways that you can wear the item of
clothing so it gives you a bit of an idea of what to wear with what and sometimes the stylist will
also mention that on the cards as well so they're quite useful you then also get your invoice and
the invoice tells you about like i said the brand the item name the color the size the cost it then
adds it all up for you tells you how much you save if you keep everything and obviously they do
10 pounds of your styling charge that you paid or not paid if you've used the credit
so let's get into this month's box this is like probably my favorite subscription that comes so
first of all the little card that came from holly at stitch fix my stylist so it says hello crystal
welcome back to another fix i hope you're well i'm so glad to see you requested me to be your stylist
this time around i've really enjoyed styling your box i have taken on your requests and included
a great everyday midi skirt from mango this is a versatile item that can be dressed up with a heel
or paired with a trainer for the day style with the skirts the mint velvet volume sleeve t-shirt
this is a modern take on the classic basic that will also look great one with the floral belted
shorts from warehouse as you love animal print i had to include the v-neck midi dress the belted
waist will cinch you in and it will come in handy for evenings out now that we're allowed to leave
the house and see friends i'd love to know what you thought of these items in your feedback best
holi so let's get unwrapping them all and then i can try them along for you so the first item is a
t-shirt from mint velvet this is in a size small and it's the puff sleeve t-shirt in a size small
it's got as you would expect from the name little puffed sleeves like this
and it's 100 cotton i really like mint velvet and the clothes that they design
this is 39 pounds which is quite a lot for a white t-shirt but mint velvet are
a pretty decent quality brand and that's kind of what i'd expect to pay for a t-shirt from them
so looking forward to trying that on so here is the white top from mint velvet with puff sleeves
i've never had a puff sleeve top before what do we think about this it has got a little bit of
elastic or something in there that sort of holds that in place and then you just got the roughly
puff bits around there um let me know what you think i've got a few other white tops but nothing
like this this is definitely a little different here's the little card telling you two different
ways you can style that t-shirt like the prints on this this is the mango dress so it's just got
these kind of short floaty sleeves it's got a little belt that you can tie there at the waist
and at the bottom it's got this little frill quite difficult just to show you on a camera like this
but when i try and you'll obviously get to see a lot better and like it's got that v-neck style at
the front that i'm hoping isn't too revealing once i actually try it on this is in a size 8
and it's made out of recycled polyester so better for the environment as well and retails up 49
pounds okay so this is the dress it's the way you put it on is interesting you kind of put it on
a bit like a coat and then you button it on the inside button it on the front and then tie this
bit around the front so it's really easy to put on and it's nice and kind of breezy and i think it'd
be nice in warm weather as well i really like the prints it sort of seems to be gaping open
a little bit here so i don't know if um perhaps another size would have been better i don't know
this is a small um so i love the sleeves on this it's got nice big floaty sleeves and i definitely
think it's something you could wear during the day or at night i'll just show you the length on this
so it's like about as long as it could possibly be on me without trailing on the floor
but i do really like it it feels really nice on and i really need your opinion on this one
so i showed it to my husband he thinks it looks like i'm wearing either nightwear or loungewear he
doesn't think it looks like something you would leave the house in having said that he doesn't
know anything about fashion so let me know what you think do we think it looks good or not does
it suit me do i look like i'm wearing a dressing gown or nightwear do let me know in the comments
underneath and here's a couple of ways they've styled it in a kind of
evening type way and a bit of a day look as well here is the skirt from mango so it's just got a
little zip there at the back and a little bit of a kind of i don't know if it's a pleated look or
if it's just obviously become a bit creased in the box and but i like the print a lot so this
is by mango this is in a size small and it's the bombay midi skirts it's 30 pounds and it is made
out of viscose so that's 100 viscose then i've got the skirt on so this is the mango skirt
and that's the length on the skirt on me
and i've paired the two items together as suggested by the stylist so let me know in
the comments what you think and this is the way that they have styled the skirt again a sort of
day looking evening look then there's these lovely bright shorts with flowers all over them they just
scream at summer these are by warehouse the 32 pounds of the summer daisy belted shorts
in a size 8 kind of look high-waisted so i'm not quite sure how these are going to work on me
they've also got that belt there on the front like that as well but we'll try it on
with probably a vest top or a t-shirt and just see what they look like they are 100 viscose
so these are the shorts and they are high-waisted which is not really something i go for i like the
pattern the biggest problem i'm having is actually finding something to go with them i've picked out
this top they've got pockets in by the way i've picked out this top which is mango it came in
a previous stitch fix box and i think it looks okay with it but it doesn't obviously show off
um the shorts properly or the waist or the belt and i'm just really struggling to find
something to go with them i did try them on with the white puff sleeves top that stitch
fix sent me in this box but that top i just i'm struggling with it and it just didn't really
look very good it didn't look right tucked in and it was quite long like this anyway so either way
either top is going to cover them up i did think of just trying it on with like a simple vest
but even that wasn't sitting quite right or looking quite right so yeah i'm kind of struggling
with these shorts because i do like them it's just what to wear with them what do you think
just put them with like a navy top as well uh i just don't know i'm really struggling to see
what to put with these shorts like i said you can tuck vest tops and stuff in but a vest
up just on its own just doesn't seem to look quite right i don't really want to have to buy
anything new to wear with these shorts i'm trying to use like things i already have
it's just what kind of looks right uh i don't know
and then finally i've got this little top from oasis i love this pattern it's like a nice
um almost like a tea pattern if you know what i mean it's obviously a bit floral
i just i really like it um like the neck on that as well it's got a little bun at the back and
this is in a size 8 it's a blossom floral spot patched cami and it is 32 pounds it's got this
light blue lining in it and it is 100 polyester this is the top by oasis
excuse the bra straps but i really haven't figured out another way of doing it unless
i had a completely different bra or wore it without which i don't think is a good idea i do
like the pattern of this one it's just the way that it hangs it doesn't really lend itself to
things like straps does it i've just paired it with some denim jeans anyway
denim shorts anyway so i just probably wear it with our jeans if it was a little bit cooler
so what do we think of this one and this is
it without the strap showing which is obviously better um
and here it is style two different ways okay so i have tried everything on i'm gonna let you know
what my thoughts are on each item so the mint velvet t-shirts like i said i do like this brand
i just can't get on with these sleeves they're just not really me i didn't really like the way
that this looked when it was on again let me know in the comments if you disagree but
i just don't really think that it worked for me so i think the t-shirt will be going back
the shorts i liked the color the pattern and everything i even didn't mind the fact that they
were high-waisted and i'm not big on high waist um i think they were flattering everything as well
i'm just on the fence with these at the minute because i'm not 100 sure what i'm going to wear
them with if i keep them so definitely would appreciate some kind of feedback on that and
let me know what you think the mango dress absolutely loved the print loved the way it felt
and family completely disagreed with what it looked like on me please let me know because
it's very unlike anything i've ever had before so i guess it is gonna feel a little bit different
people are going to think i'm not quite sure about that so let me know what you think did
it suit me did it not be honest um i also wonder if i was to keep it do i size down
a little bit because it was gaping a little bit here this is a small maybe an extra small would
have been a little bit more fitted let me know what you think on that the skirt which is also
mango i again liked the print although i actually have recently picked up a black and white skirt
hush i believe it was which is very similar prince it's a polka dot whereas these are
little um teardrops ovals all sorts of different very slightly different shapes again though black
and cream black and white it's very similar um and the one i've got has got a splitting this hasn't
and the length is a tiny bit different but it's very very similar but then it is
30 pounds which is fairly reasonable for this type of skirts and so what do we think of this
do we think this looked good was it flattering let me know this is another one i'm on the fence about
my favorite item and one i think i will keep was this top by oasis it's just very me i think it'd
look nice with jeans or with shorts and i like the neck i don't think i have many things with this
neckline but i do like that neckline and yeah and i like it and it's just the sort of color i go for
so i like that and i think i will definitely be keeping this um just a bit on the fence with some
of these other pieces so do let me know because i really do need feedback especially this time
so let's go through the invites so this is fix number nine my ninth stitch fix box i've got the
mint velvet puff sleeve t-shirt that's 39 pounds the mango irene v-neck midi dress that was 49.99
mango bombay midi skirt 29.99 the oasis blossom floral spot patched camera 32 pounds and warehouse
summer daisy belted short 32 pounds the total of all those items would be 182 pounds and 98 pence
if i were to keep them all i would get 20 discount which would be a discount of 36 pounds 60
which would then bring the other sub total to 146 pounds and 38 pence then redeeming the 10 pound
style charge deduction would bring the total to 136 pounds and 38 pence which isn't bad for
five items but like i said i don't think i'll be keeping all five anyway um just let me know
what you think what should i keep what do i not keep i'm really struggling i have got a liquero
box coming up in the next week or two so if you do like watching these personal stylist unboxing
