Since 2012, I’ve been a Stitch Fix girl. I just love the surprise, the curation, and the quality of Stitch Fix. It really can’t be beat (and yes, I’ve tried other services). Stitch Fix is especially awesome for those of us who struggle to make it to the mall for wardrobe essentials. Recently, Stitchfix launched …
