Fashion Subscriptions
Everyone has a style or fashion statement to make. The hard part is not going overboard on the quantity of clothes and accessories we buy. Now, there are fashion subscriptions. Services offering fashion pieces to fit your budget and style, while also limiting the number of products you receive.
Stitch Fix is a fashion subscription service that caters to both men and women. As a customer, you will be paired up with a personal stylist who will pick clothing and accessories for your before each fix. Each box or “fix” contains 5 items. When requesting a fix you can ask for items for a specific occasion, or be surprised. Fixes are scheduled to arrive weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or whenever you request one, whatever suits your fashion needs. Each box costs a minimum of $20 to receive.  The $20 fee covers the first $20 of whatever you decided to purchase from the box. If you purchase more than that, then you are responsible for paying the rest of the cost. Should you receive a fix and not wish to purchase anything inside, then the $20 fee goes to your account as credit for the next fix. Stitch Fix has a detailed survey concerning your fashion needs, such as size, color, cut, budget, and occasion, which you are free to update at any time. You are also able to rate your fix online after each time to improve the quality of your fix. After reviewing your fix, don’t forget to check out Stitch Fix’s fashion blog on how to style your new wears. You can even send in a question and be advised by a true stylist within 24 hours!

If you forget to opt out for the month and don’t shop, you are charged a fee that goes toward your account as credit for your next buy. This subscription is perfect for girls on the go or exercise junkies. But if that doesn’t sound like you, no worries! Fabletics also has brands for men, everyday children’s clothing, and women’s clothes as well!
