For week three of the Fashion Fix challenge, I had a ton of ideas for different characters I wanted to try to embody. Complex female characters are kind of my thing, and happen to be this week’s theme. I thought about nerdy Velma from Scooby Doo.

We’re so excited to see so many of you at San Diego Comic Con this year. Unfortunately out of our editing team, only Jordan will be there this year (fingers crossed Liz can make it next year!), and we won’t have a booth home base.
