Stitch Fix Round 3: Home Run! (And some almost wins. Help me decide.)
And welcome to another round of awkward photos and my pleas for your fashion advice! After a wildly fun first experience with Stitch Fix, a personal styling service, my second box was....ahem....less than thrilling. In fact, I sent everything single item back.

Help Me Decide All the Fashion Things! (Or, In Which I Pose Awkwardly.)
