hi guys welcome to planning with crystal so today's unboxing is stitch fix for april 2022
stitch fix is like a personal stylist in a box so i'm going to explain how it all works i'm going
to unbox the items i've been sent and i'm going to try everything on for you so stick with me if you
want to see that so stitch fix like i said it's a little bit like a personal stylist in a box you
set up an online account you upload pictures either of yourself or of items that you like
you basically set all of the parameters for the personal shopper so obviously you share all the
sizes you tell them the sorts of items you do and don't like wearing give them your measurements say
how much you want to spend on certain items and then when you actually want a box you can either
have it on a subscription basis where it regularly comes every couple of months or do what i do and
just order the box when you want it you go online and you say okay these are the items i'm shopping
for or this is the event i'm shopping for the personal stylist will select five items for you
and send them out to you the cost of the service is 10 pounds but if you're new to stitch fix
you can get 15 pounds credit which will mean your first box will be free and if you keep anything
15 pounds deductible on anything you keep if you continue after that and order another box it will
cost you 10 pounds but if you keep anything the 10 pound is redeemable you don't get charged for any
of the clothes in the box until you go through an online checkout process so you get the items
you're usually given a week but you can extend it a lot longer if you want to in your online account
where you go online you say i'm keeping this i'm sending these back you send everything back
there's no additional charge if you are keeping anything they obviously at that point charge you
for anything you keep deducting the style fee the 10 pound you've paid or not if it's your first
box you won't have paid you'll just get uh the 15 pound credit arts off and you won't pay the
styling fee so they also have a new feature called fix preview which means that around about seven to
ten days before your fix is due to arrive they'll send you an email and if you want to and you don't
have to you can go online and you can look at 10 items and you can select up to five items from
those ten or you can decline them all that's up to you so i'm gonna tell you what i asked for i will
show you the ten items that i was shown and then we'll see what i actually have in the box right
here so i said i'm shopping for spring outfits that i can wear to the office kind of smart
casual sort of style i'm especially looking for trousers that are versatile and can be worn with
a number of different tops just because i've got lots of tops and not enough pairs of trousers to
wear them with and then i've also said that i also need shoes to wear with the trousers and dresses
low block heels are okay nothing too high i value comfort and i've put all flats i'd also ideally
like knee length or just above dress cotton preferred no polyester i do not like polyester
ideally i'd like a complete outfit or two and then i've also linked a pinterest board and i
can tell that the stylist looks on my pinterest board because the items sometimes are the exact
items i've linked on the pinterest board or very very similar ones so here are the 10 items i got
to choose from and some of them i accepted some of them i rejected for various different reasons
so inside the box you will also get a returns label so if you do want to return anything that's
included in the cost of the style fee if you don't want to return anything you just obviously don't
return it they also have a great price match service so if you see any of the items in your
box cheaper online within seven days of your box arriving you can let them know in the price match
if you keep all five items you get 20 off everything in the box
and if you need to exchange sizes that's all free and quick and yeah it's great so this is my 22nd
box which is alarming to say the least so here is my style notes hi crystal how are you today
i'm glad to be styling you again and to see you selected three pieces from your preview i see
none of the trousers were what you're looking for and the loafers look too chunky and that you'd
still like to try a pair of work appropriate shoes unfortunately we didn't have any shoes available
which matched your preferences however as you like the style of the maruti trainers before love them
wear them all the time i've added another pair with a smarter look and real leather as you prefer
that i thought would be a nice alternative to wear to work what do you think about them
as you'd also like other trousers i've included the jewels trousers that you could wear with the
maruti trainers the cute mason la brush tee and your leather jacket for a smart casual look or
wear one of the dresses with the trainers and your jacket best martyr you also get an invoice that
tells you how much each individual item would cost how much it would cost if you kept everything what
the deduction would be if you got the 20 discount for keeping everything and all that information
so this is quite a pricey fix but i have set the prices that i get so i'm happy with that you can
get much more affordable pieces depends how much you want to spend i'm trying to only get pieces
that i know i'm gonna love and wear forever and so i'm happy to pay a bit more for them but obviously
it's a personal preference how much you want to spend on things and stitch fix are pretty good
at sticking within the limits you set as well so let's have a look at the items that i've been sent
so this is the t-shirt that i agreed to try from my um preview it's expensive but it is organic
cotton it feels lovely and it just has this really nice pretty stitching in a light kind of pink that
says good vibe and it's by maison la brush it's in navy and it's a classic tea good vibe global
organic textile standard and it's in a size small and the t-shirt is 60 pounds pretty expensive but
like i said if it's something that i'm gonna wear over and over again then it's probably worth it to
have like one t-shirt i just love so i like the fact that it's got this kind of folded detail
there on the sleeve and it's got like a round neck so everything about it like that i like love love
love navy like i said it's 100 organic cotton so looks good but 60 pound is a lot for a t-shirt so
i'd have to love it so we will see when i try that on in just a moment next up we've got a dress from
hobbs like the design and this like greeny color i think this is one of the ones i selected from
the preview so it's got like a round neck but it's not high but it's not low either it's got a zip
down the back and the sleeves seem to be kind of three-quarter length with a little bit of a
almost cuff detail but it buttons as well it looks like it's gonna be longer than knee length
which might be a little bit longer than i want but we'll see what it looks like when it's on this is
from hobbs in a size eight it's 96 viscose four percent rayon it's called the indy jersey dress
and it's 89 pounds so again quite a pricey one so i'd have to really like it but we will see what
it looks like when it's on you'll obviously see all this in a lot better detail when you see me
try it on rather than just showing it you on the camera then we have got this dress which is by
selected femme which i haven't heard of this brand before it's this fola shirt dress in dark sapphire
flower and it retails at 75 pounds it's kind of like a shirt style dress so it's got that shirt
collar on it then it buttons up on the front and it looks around about knee length maybe slightly
above and it also has this little tie detail that goes around it again it's going to be a lot more
obvious what it looks like when i actually try it on it's in a 36 which thinks like um european
sizing or something they'll just choose whichever size appears to be best with the measurements and
things you've given them but like you can always exchange it if the size isn't right as well i'm
not sure about the feel of this fabric actually so it is 100 viscose i don't kind of feel like
viscose is the nicest fabric do you know what i mean like it doesn't feel like a quality fabric
for the price point but again we will see what it's like when it's on then we've got
some trousers from jewels and these are called the hepworth stretch trousers it says hidden side zip
high-waisted sculpted slim fit by stretch fabric lifts and shapes and pocket wise it hasn't really
got pockets as such other than this little one on the back um and little jewels logo there and it's
got no kind of front zip or anything it is just that hidden zip at the side and they look like
they're quite a slim fit i'm just slightly worried about the length because i suspect these might be
too long for me so they are like an elasticated waist so they do look like they should be a good
fit the 49-95 and they call the hepworth pull-on stretch trouser they're in navy in a size 8.
so we will try those oh i've just noticed a discrepancy on the label it says a 49.95
but on my invoice it's a 59.95 which is the european price so i'll have to query that if i
am keeping them because they should be 49.95 i'm sure they'll sort it they're pretty good at that
kind of thing and then finally some shoes that say stitch fix on this cute little zip up bag
so they are black leather trainers don't know if i get away with these for work because they are
quite obviously a trainer not like a smart work shoe especially with these laces which are like
black with kind of metallic sort of stitching through it i'm not sure about that this is what
they're like underneath i have got some maruti trainers you'll have seen them in a number of
my videos that i got in a previous stitch fix box the like black and white sort of fabric trainers i
absolutely love them wear them to death similar to this on the back here which is like this sort of
i don't know it feels like it's like a faux pony fur type fabric um yeah so the
only thing i'm not sure about really with these trainers like i said is that stitching on there
but we'll see what they look like when they're on sometimes they come with like an additional
pair of laces i'm sure my other maruta trainers came with an additional is we
have got some plain black laces so with plain black laces they're probably a little less
obvious that the trainers if you know what i mean but we'll see like what the like when they're on
like i said super expensive but really like maruti trainers i have got like i said the other pair and
i wore them around london the other weekend and we did like at least 10 000 steps a day if not
more on most days and my feet were just so comfy which is just so important when you're walking a
lot isn't it so definitely rate my routine i've never tried any of their trainers before stitch
fix i'm super glad i discovered them because it's just brilliant but they are very expensive so
these trainers retail 119.99 so they're pretty expensive they're in a black size five obviously
my size so the total cost of everything on here would be it says four hundred and three pound
ninety four but i think it'd be ten pounds less than the price of those jewels trousers slightly
incorrectly if i kept everything i'd get a discount of 80 pounds 79 that's the 20
saving which would mean that at least one of the items is free if you work it out like that um
and then obviously they deduct the 10 pound styling charge that i have paid and any credit
and things i've got on the account if you do use my link to sign up to get your 15 pound credit
or 25 dollars if you're in the us then i will get the same back in credits for my account which will
help me to keep making these videos and i really appreciate it so i think i've got a little bit
of credit on the account right now so i might just treat myself but we'll obviously see what
everything looks like when it's on let's go try on some clothes so this leather jacket is actually my
own it's by all saints it's a balfourne jacket i'm just trying it on over the t-shirt as recommended
by the stylist so of course this is the maison la brush classic t-shirt and it's 60 pounds
and these are the trousers by jewels which are 50 pounds or 49.95 and i've got them on of course
with those maruti claire leather lace-up trainers which are 119.99 this is kind of what the outfit
looks like together the only concern i've really got with these trousers is they are a little bit
long for me on the ankle what do you think and this is the hobbes indie jersey dress size 8
89 pounds so i really like the color i like the top and the shape at the top of the dress
but i do think it makes me look a little bit wider than i usually would look on the hips what do you
think i just don't think this is a flattering shape on me at all i also think it's too long
it's below the knee length which is not something i'd normally go for so this is the dress by
selected femme the fiola shirt dress in a size 36 it's 75 pounds i mean i think it's okay it's just
the fabric for me like i said does not feel high quality i'm looking for pockets here as
you can see there are not any i do like a good pocket let me know what you think on this dress
okay so we've tried everything on let me know in the comments what you think i should keep and send
back and i'll let you know my comments so far okay so like i said before there's five items if i kept
everything the subtotal would be 403 pounds 94 i'd get a discount of 20 which would be 80 pounds
79 bringing my subtotal down to 323.15 and i'd then get a 10 pound deduction style charge which
would then bring it down to three one three fifteen if that makes sense so anyway let's see
the trainers so i do actually like these more than i thought i would when i had them on ridiculously
comfortable not sure if i'd get away with them for work so that's a bit of a consideration i actually
really like them and i think they'll be probably more work appropriate with the plain black laces
instead of these like sparkly ones but i actually do like them so at the moment i'm thinking i will
probably keep these the jewels trousers i actually quite liked these on and i like the fit and they
were surprisingly quite comfortable the only issue with these is that the length they're a little bit
long for me in the leg and hopefully you saw that because i did like zoom in and you can see they're
like bunched up a little bit at the bottom but i do like them so i'm like do i send them back do
i not i don't know and they don't come with different leg lengths it is this or nothing
so i'm gonna have to try and decide like i said please let me know what you think
i actually did quite like the t-shirt especially with those trousers and the trainers and the
leather jacket which is my leather jackets and i'll say it's one i've had for a few years so i
actually did like it don't know again if i'd get away with it for work but i actually did like it
but it's 60 pounds so i'm still a little bit like what do we think was the fit nice i'm not asking
if it's worth 60 pounds six pounds a lot for a t-shirt but did it look nice what do you think i
was a little bit disappointed with the dresses so the first so this dress was my favorite in terms
of design and the way it looked on i think this one looks better on me than the other one
but i'm not a massive fan of this fabric so it's not polyester it's viscose which is a partially
man-made partially natural fiber i believe but i just don't particularly like the feel of it
and like i said i'm trying to buy pieces that i will buy and like love forever not stuff that
i'm gonna be getting rid of in a year or two so i think i'm gonna send it back so i just
couldn't get on with this fabric so just a quick reminder this was the selected
femme fiola shirt dress in navy 75 pounds so that leaves us with a hobbes dress so i do like
the color and things and it feels better quality than the selected femme dress my issue with this
it's too long i generally don't particularly like dresses that go too far below the knee
like this does and i also felt like it made me look extra wide and hippy made my hips look
wider than they would normally look which wasn't flattering either so that was another reason why
i just don't think this dress is for me so this is the hobbs indeed jersey dress navy size 89 pounds
so i think that'll be going back so at the moment the two dresses i think are definitely going back
i'm thinking of keeping the trainers and i'm on the fence with the t-shirt and trousers
