Stitchfix review - my personal online shopper

As you know, I am an engineer. I am a left brained thinker. I can be creative when problem solving, but I do not consider myself an artist nor skilled in aesthetics. My priority is function over form. 

So I am not a big fan of shopping. I do not trust myself to identify stylish clothes and it frustrates me when I spend time without finding anything I want. Plus, I have no time to shop for myself, now that I have young kids. My time is very precious now. 

Then I heard about Stitchfix. It's a service that has personal shoppers that send you clothes, based on a style survey. You get to try them on and send back what you don't want, without shipping charges. You pay $20 per shipment which is applied to any purchases you make. 

Why not try it, right?

I got my first shipment this week. It is always so exciting to get a package !
I asked for spring/summer wear that I could also wear to work (business casual). 
I got Capri jeans, two blouses, a jacket and a maxi dress. 
I have been looking for a maxi dress and this one fit well, but the solid color seemed plain. Maybe I just need accessories. 
The blouses were nice, but not the right cut for me. A little tight in the shoulders. 
The jacket was way too tight in the shoulders, but I like the idea of a non-suit jacket to dress up an outfit. 
I love the Capri jeans. They fit just right and make me look trendier than I actually am. I will keep them. 
So I think I will try it again. What do I have to lose?  $20?  I can bring my lunch a couple extra days and look more stylish. 

If you want to try, here is my referral link.  Be warned that they are overloaded, so your first fix may not be sent for a couple months.
