For the past couple of weeks, I've been purchasing clothes for StitchMix from independent fashion designers. I'm pretty sure it's every girl's dream. Here's a sneak peak of some of the items you'll see in the StitchMix wardrobe.

Sadly, it's true. I've been hard at work this weekend helping get the StitchMix website ready to launch and prepping for Fashion Night Out in Chicago this coming Friday (if you don't know what StitchMix is, shame on you!). Last night I had a burst of typographical inspiration and am happy to say that I've got quite a few hand-drawn type sketches ready to digitize. Here's to long weekends! Happy Labor Day.

While most people say they tend to shy away from promoting projects or events they have a personal connection to, I'm here to say that I don't. I have absolutely no problem putting in shameless plugs for things with which I'm involved. What better way to get the word out? The Company
Every single day, hundreds of women all over the world look into their closets with despair, feeling like they have nothing to wear. StitchMix is the answer to that dilemma. StitchMix offers an easy, affordable way to refresh your wardrobe every month. Essentially, the goal of StitchMix is to take the stress out of looking great, eliminating the problem of never having the right (or enough) clothes. It's like Netflix for fashion.
The Backstory
The brainchild of this company was born one morning when my husband decided he was tired of hearing me say I didn't have anything to wear. In all actuality, I had plenty of clothes to wear; I just didn't feel like wearing any of them. Being a problem solver and entrepreneur by nature, he started to think of different ways to solve this problem. The solution? A company that allows women constantly have plenty of new and exciting things to wear in their closet.
