hey guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's video is a stitch fix unboxing
for june 2022 it's also going to be a try on so i'm going to try on all the clothes
in the box and you can let me know what you think i should keep what you think i should
send back so if you're brand new to stitch fix this is a uk box but they also operate
in the us as well and it is a personal stylist in a box you basically sign up for an online account
and you give the company a lot of information pictures and sizes what you like dislike whatever
you want to do you don't have to include pictures of yourself you can include just like pictures of
clothing you like stuff like that i tend to put together like pinterest boards send them to the
stylist and then the stars can have a look at that and sort of see what kind of vibe i'm going for
and stuff like that but basically it usually costs in the uk 10 pounds to get a box but you can get
15 pounds of credit on your first box if you want to use my link i'll pop it underneath the video
and how that works the box usually costs 10 pounds so if you get your box and you don't like what's
inside you can send everything back and it won't cost you anything and returns and stuff are free
you get prepaid label in here and all that kind of stuff if you do decide to keep anything in the box
that 15 pound credit will be deductible so you'll get 15 pound off anything you decide to keep
every box contains five items if you do happen to keep all five items they'll give you 20 discount
on everything in the box so generally it means like an item is free so it's actually kind of
cheaper than shopping on the high street and it's great because you're given like seven days to try
everything on at home and you can extend that if you need longer to think about it or you're
waiting for payday or something and you can try it on with everything you've already got in your
wardrobe you can obviously ask like friends and family for advice it's a lot easier than if you're
just doing that on the high street or you're ordering from lots of different shops and they're
able to send things back and forth and stuff so delivery is always free returns are always free
and if you are keeping anything you go online pay for what you're keeping send back what you're not
and yeah it's a pretty easy process this is about my 22nd box or something crazy like that so i've
been doing this for a while and i find it pretty easy to do so it's 15 credit if you're in the uk
if you're in the us you get a 25 credit that's just a slightly different amount i think due
to um the exchange rates and stuff so yeah all the infos under the video if you want to do that
but in today's video first of all i'm going to tell you the kind of brief i gave my stylist
and then i will show you the 10 items that were on my preview so the preview feature is basically
usually around about 10 to 14 days before my box is due to arrive i will get an email to say
right there's these items online you can go and look at them and i think it gives you 36 hours
to look at the 10 items decide if you want to try any of them in your box you can reject them
all if you want you can just accept some and not others it's totally up to you so for me there's
10 items i selected two of them rejected the other eight and then my stylist chose the other
three items for my box based on some additional feedback i gave her so first of all let's do
the notes that i have sent to the stylist so i said that i'm looking for summer clothes
i'd love a complete outfit that can be worn both to the office and at the weekend
which is a kind of difficult one i mean i work in an office where it's kind of smart casual
depending on what's going on i might need to dress up a little bit more or a bit less so it's not
necessarily straight cut what i kind of can't wear to the office but like obviously i know what i can
and can't get away with um smart casual is kind of what i've asked for so for example i've said
i can wear white trainers with the dress but i can't wear like jeans and i've said i'd like a
dress no longer the knee length with short sleeves because i'm looking at like summer type clothes
and i said i've put together a pinterest board of looks and items that i like and then i've linked
that and i'll link it underneath if you want to see what i put on that pinterest board i've said
i don't want any polyester i prefer things like cotton and linen the best colors for me i've put
a navy pink red green and i'm still looking for the perfect pair of black flat smart shoes so the
shoes that have been sent i don't think are going to fit they look i've got really narrow feet a
lot they're going to fall off my feet but we'll see when i try them on so i've got a bundle of
clothes here then i've got a little stitch fixed bag these are the shoes then there's an envelope
with all kinds of different bits and pieces so there's a prepaid label so basically anything that
i'm going to return i put in the box stick this label on and off it goes it's the tracked 48 hour
roll mail prepaid label so i keep that in case i'm sending anything back then also in here you also
get some style cards so there'll be a note from your stylist explaining what she's picked and why
and then there is a little picture of each of the items that you've got here and it kind of
shows you like two different ways you could wear it so i find this really useful and then there is
also the all-important invoice which tells you how much each item costs it tells you how much
everything would cost if you bought it or like individually what it would cost if you got your 20
discount and what your sub total is if you've got any credit so for example if you've got your 15
pound credit that you've used my link then it will deduct that 15 pounds at that point and so on and
so forth so it explains everything you need to know so here is my letter from my stylist marta
it says hi crystal happy fix day how are you she says she's glad that i selected the luche
dress and the mavi shorts which are the two items i chose from the 10 that were
selected for me to choose from for the preview in fact let me show you the preview right now
let me know as well for future videos would you like me to talk through why i haven't selected
those items are you happy to look at the pictures with a bit of music let me know what you think
thanks for scheduling another fix for those and for reviewing your preview so quickly
i see that you'd also like a cotton dress so i've included one from bowdoin that i thought
would be a nice addition to your wardrobe for a smart casual look to go to the office you could
wear it with the clarks black flats leather as you prefer do you like these a bit more
because i previously rejected a pair that weren't leather because i prefer leather shoes and it says
you could wear it with a neutral crossbody bag they said that unfortunately they didn't have a
sleeveless cotton or linen top similar to one that i had already put on my pinterest board however
i've included an editor's cut sleeveless top that i thought will be a piece you'll enjoy you
could wear it with the oasis jeans you got in fix number one so that's like a couple of years ago
and the clark shoes for a casual look enjoy mata so i like that they will kind of reference back to
items they've sent you before so that's pretty good so let's have a look at everything in the
box oh another thing to mention that i really like about stitch fix they will price match so if
you find any of your items cheaper online within seven days of receiving your box you send them a
picture and a link to the website and if it's the same item same size same color etc then they will
price match so these are the black leather shoes i get that they're not very exciting but i just
wanted some like comfortable leather flats they've got the teensiest little heel on them and they are
leather i think like i said they're probably going to slip off my feet because my feet are
so very narrow but we will give them a try they're a size five in case you wonder that's the size
that i obviously chose and that i wear this is what it looks like so these retail at 79 pounds
then the bowdoin dress so it's like a shirt style dress and it's like buttoned down the front with
these like brown almost total shell um buttons but obviously you can unbutton it and i think
i will so it's got a long sleeve which is kind of strange because i asked for short sleeve but
i did choose this from the fix preview and i can kind of deal with it if i like it because
most of the time i'm cold to be honest if it's warm especially when i'm inside so it looks like
it's kind of just above the knee length which is the sort of length i prefer it's also got this
like piece of fabric around it like a tie and it's sort of just about attached these little white
loops to stop it falling off i guess so you can kind of cinch it in to make it a little bit more
fitted or flattering if you want to so it's by bold and i like bowden's designs and stuff and i
find that the stuff washes well lasts quite a long time good quality and stuff so this is 100 cotton
which is my preference and it is a simple shirt dress in black it retails at 75 pounds however
i have found it online for about half that price so i might just see if it works on me if they can
price match it does look like my sort of thing and so we will see so it says by buying cotton
products from bowdoin you're supporting more sustainable cotton farming so that's good too so i
mentioned i like green and this is a little green dress it's short sleeved or cap sleeves really so
a bit more kind of summery so this is by a brand called luche assuming that's how you pronounce it
they sent me a size eight that's my size and it's called the kathleen scatter dot dress losh london
or however you pronounce it again so this has got a little tie on the back but it's actually
stitched to the side of the dress so it's not one like the other one where it's going to like fall
off or has to be threaded through but it's also not one you can remove i suppose you could cut
them off if you really wanted to but yeah it ties it up at the back and it's buttoned down the front
with these little white kind of um almost like pearlescent buttons with like a gold trim to them
it looks like you can actually undo them as well i wasn't sure if they were like fake buttons you
know like fake buttons faux buttons i think that's what i'm trying to say so this one is 100 viscose
i can wear this ghost it's not my favorite but i just really liked the print and stuff of it so it
just looks like my sort of thing and i really like dots as well so we'll see how it fits because that
looks like the sort of dress i'm looking for so that was 49 pounds a pretty good price really for
that as well then this is something i kind of didn't expect but at the same time i know why
this stylist has chosen it because it is kind of me even though i didn't sort of ask for it so this
is from editors cut which is a stitch fix only brand so stitch fix only brands can all be bought
through stitch fix they don't sell them anywhere else and this is one of them so it's got like um
a sort of the panel at the back is kind of see-through but it's stripe it which is very
much me and it's got like no sleeves and it's like navy which is kind of my one of my colors i like
to wear and then it's just got a little slit in it and they're quite reasonably priced as well these
editors cut pieces because they are like their own brand so it's the claire woven jersey mix top in
navy size eight okay so it's the first time i have seen that this is a little bit of an error on my
invoice it mentions an item from 41 hawthorne which i haven't got so i'm not actually sure if
it's off my head how much this is but i will put it on the screen so you can see how much it is
that's interesting i'll have a look at my online account and see if that's wrong as well because
literally i've never seen that before so this is 75 cotton 25 polyester so i can cope with the 25
but like i said cotton is my preference that's really interesting i'm not sure what happened
there literally never seen them make that mistake before so except be interesting to see when i go
through my online profile what it tells me is in there i'm sure it mentioned this talks i'm sure
i saw it anyway i don't know what's going on there so then last but not least i asked
for a pair of denim shorts as well so i've been on the hunt for like the perfect pair
now for me i like them to be sort of short enough so that they look not too old-fashioned but not so
short that they're showing loads of things i don't want to be showing at 36 you know what i mean
so these are just like a simple blue pair the by brand called mavi and i had a pair of jeans
from mavi in a previous stitch fix box loved them but they didn't fit me in the length but
they fit me really well on the waist and things so i think this is the same or similar to the jeans
except it's in short so length isn't really the same issue and the light turned up at the bottom
actually stitch turned up which i kind of like because i do like turn ups but i find a lot of my
shorts that i've got turnips on sort of sometimes unfold themselves a little bit or you can't get
the fold quite right when you just wash them and stuff so at least that way they're not going to
go up and down so they're in a size 26 they've got pockets at the back pockets at the front
love a good pocket so these are the sarah cuffed your indigo 26 and these are super soft and i
would agree they feel super soft they are 55 pounds right then let's go and try everything on
so
okay so now this is the part of the video i've tried everything on you've seen what everything
looks like on me i'm going to kind of give you my first impressions of what i'm thinking i'm going
to keep and then you guys leave me some comments let me know what you actually think i should keep
what suits me what doesn't etc so before i do that i'm quickly going to go through the little
invoice so i can kind of recap about what things cost what it would cost if i kept everything et
cetera et cetera so the bolden dress 75 pounds but i'm thinking about price match i need to check
like i said i think i've seen that half price somewhere the clark's flat 79 pounds the lush
mini dress that was the green one that was 49 pounds the mavi cuffed short 55 pounds and then
remember i mentioned there was an issue on the invoice it's not present on my online account
it's just on the invoice so i actually got the editors cut claire woven jersey top 34 pounds so
total cost of everything would be 292 pounds i would then get a discount for keeping everything
a discount of 20 which would be a discount of 58 pound 40 which would bring it down to 233
pounds 60. i've paid 10 pound styling fee which is what you pay going forward after your first box
and so that would be deducted bringing the total to 223 pounds 60. now i don't think i'm going to
keep everything there's definitely one or two items that are kind of definite no's um
so let's have a talk about all the items and let's see if we're on the same page so the clark shoes
now first of all they don't fit me they i have really narrow feet and literally i put my feet in
and then lift my foot up and they kind of slide in off my feet i don't know if you could see that on
the video but the other thing is they're really a little bit kind of too conservative i mean i'm
not saying i want fantasy flashy shoes for work i just want some pla black leather flats but these
kind of felt a little bit like i was gonna go and join a convent and or something like that
and have to be super super conservative with what i wore if that makes any sense i don't know how
else to describe it they just seemed again really quite old-fashioned and things and just not really
me at all so i think they're a definite definite no the bowden dress i quite liked it it's it's me
i like the pockets that it's got i don't know if you could see this on the video but the pockets
are quite big which is fine but i felt like when i didn't have my hands in my pockets when i was
just like arms by my side i felt like the pockets kind of stood out a little bit even though they're
on the inside of the dress like they left a funny mark on the outside i don't know if that was just
me i don't think it looks as bad when i had my hands in the pockets but i do quite like it i
like the material the brand the fabric everything else and like i said if they can price match it
and it's half price then i think i will keep it if it's 75 pound i would send it back i do think it's
also a little bit more wintery like when i was trying it on i was kind of a little bit warm even
though it's not super warm in the uk at the minute and it's got long sleeves which is interesting
choice for a summer box but anyway like i said i do like it i just um we'll see what the prices
come out like but let me know whether you think it suited me anyway now this dress i definitely think
i'm going to keep i felt like the fit was quite good on this i like the fabric i like the kind of
design of the dress and stuff i think the color looks okay against my skin the only thing i was
less sure of is these cap sleeves but i think that's just because i'm kind of not used to having
sleeves like this my items have slightly longer sleeves so that felt slightly different but not
uncomfortably so it was just something i'd need to get used to it's actually got a zip down the
side as well to help you kind of putting it on so that was fine like i said viscose not my favorite
material i don't always think it's that great when it's really hot i feel like a cotton or a
linen is better but it is quite um a good length and it's like as a cap sleeve so i shouldn't
get too warm in it anyway so i'm thinking i'm going to keep this let me know your thoughts
this kind of surprised me because i kind of felt like this was just putting the box as
like um an afterthought or like a last piece to put in because it wasn't really what i was after
but actually when i tried it on i think it'd be quite nice for like a weekend just like casual
with some shorts or something but i also think i could probably get away with this sort of thing
at work with like some smart trousers or maybe some linen trousers or something and i really
do like the color let me know your thoughts this is 34 pounds which is a little bit more
than i thought it would be and but i do really like it and i don't have anything quite like
this i don't really have anything with no sleeves it's always been something i've tended to avoid
and but i'm kind of feeling like i want to wear things without sleeves a little bit more now so
yeah i like it so i think i'm going to keep that and the other item is the shorts now i do like
them i don't think they look too terrible on but i just felt like they were a little bit kind of
higher than i wanted them to be and sort of they were soft and comfortable on the legs but not as
comfortable on the waist and i just didn't quite get on with them so i think these are going to
go back as well i was on the fence they weren't too bad but they weren't great either so yeah i
think they're going to go back but i did like the top with the shorts kind of as a combination so i
would kind of wear my other shorts with them or something like that for right now i'm thinking
on the fence about the golden dress let me know your thoughts flats are going back mini dress
i'm keeping that's the green one the shorts i think are going to go back and the editors cut
top i think i'm going to keep it so that's where i'm at but let me know your thoughts like i said
if you're brand new to stitch fix and you live in the uk or the us you can get 15 pounds or 25
