Fabulously Cheeky

I always love watching people and learning from what I see. Yesterday, I went shopping in Walmart, and I saw a lady that looked so dull, it almost blew my mind. Her hair was blond with ashy highlights, her eyebrows were light, her makeup very nude and her clothing color coordinated, but muted. She obviously [...]

You may wonder if it really matters if you know what your clothing style is. It matters for one reason – it is an expression of who you are as an individual, and this expression affects your relationships in many ways. For example, if you dress in a style that is not essentially a reflection [...]
