Hi 😊,
What we put on our bodies every morning is a conversation with ourselves. Yet so many of us open our wardrobes and face a gallery of ghosts: clothes bought for a younger body, pieces kept for an aspirational life, or cautious, self-erasing outfits that whisper, I am trying not to be too much.
