My Third Fix
My Third Review of Stitch Fix I’ve talked about my two previous shipments from Stitch Fix here and here. Here’s what I got. Item 1: 3/4 Sleeve Popover Blouse This was interesting. I liked the color, but there was something about the sleeves that just weren’t quite right. When you’re tall, if the 3/4 sleeve doesn’t […] Read More
