Thoughtful Consideration
Loved this! I probably wouldn't have even tried it on because of the fear of horizontal stripes, but it was actually very flattering.
“I love trying on new items that I never would have picked out for myself!”
“I never would have even picked any of the clothes up had I been out shopping, so it was a fun experiment to try on styles and fabrics I’d never have chosen.”
“I am starting to realize just how adventurous I really am with clothing.”
“I hated it when I saw it, but then I tried it on and LOVED it!”
“it pushed me out of my comfot zone, and I love it”
“I saw something like this at the store but didn’t even think to pick it up. But you sent it to me and I tried it on and loved it!”
“I didn’t think something can feel so soft!”
