I first discovered it through one of my colleagues in Kansas City. She is petite like me and she was wearing this super cute long cardigan one day. I asked her where she got it and that&#8217;s when she told me about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitchfix.com\/referral\/15791573\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stitch Fix<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s been on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitchfix.com\/referral\/15791573\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stitch Fix<\/a> for over a year now and she has been very pleased with the service. She said the stylists actually learn what you like and don&#8217;t like based on the feedback you provide after each delivery. They know her so well now that she usually likes almost everything they send her.  <\/p>\n<p>My main challenge has been that I don&#8217;t really have much time for shopping and find it time consuming to find things that fit me. When I do shop and buy things that I like, I usually have to get them tailored because they&#8217;re almost always too long. I was very impressed with the fact that they send her items according to her measurements so I was eager to give it a try. I wanted to see how well they could do with me after completing my styling survey and providing my measurements. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/39042450862\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4552\/39042450862_14966cea84_z.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what they sent me in my first shipment. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/39042450602\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4692\/39042450602_e262d5de8d.jpg\" width=\"480\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received two pants, two tops and a pair of earrings. I didn&#8217;t really need a new pair of earrings but the <a href=\"https:\/\/marlynschiff.com\/\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Maryln Schiff<\/a> earrings they sent me are super cute and go with literally everything. I have been wearing them nonstop ever since I got them. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ching\/39042450852\/in\/datetaken\/\"  title=\"Untitled\"><img src=\"https:\/\/farm5.staticflickr.com\/4571\/39042450852_092491cf8f.jpg\" width=\"480\" alt=\"Untitled\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was super impressed with the two pants they sent. Not only were the pants of great quality but they fit me amazingly well. I didn&#8217;t even need to get them hemmed. They were the perfect length. <\/p>\n<p>The black skinny pants are by <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2AqYdKB\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> and the maroonish skinny jeans are by <a href=\"https:\/\/justblackdenim.com\/\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Just Black<\/a>. They both fit and feel amazing on but I have to say that the Liverpool pants are my favorite. They are, by far, the best, most comfortable pants I&#8217;ve ever owned.<\/p>\n<p>I also loved the <a href=\"http:\/\/collectiveconcepts.net\/\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Collective Concepts<\/a> blouse from this shipment. They go really well with the black Liverpool skinny pants. I have worn them several times since I got them. The only item in my box that I wasn&#8217;t too crazy about was the cold-shoulder blouse. It&#8217;s just too trendy for me and really isn&#8217;t my style. It also felt a little baggy. I just didn&#8217;t think it looked great on. I was thrilled with everything else though. <\/p>\n<p>I loved my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitchfix.com\/referral\/15791573\"  rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Stitch Fix<\/a> experience so much that I talked Brian into joining.
