People would generally … Continue reading DRESS CODE & MANNER MODE
During the pandemic, being stuck at home with no place to go, my wardrobe seemed useless and redundant. I became quite content with home clothes and nightwear and for 2 whole years made no purchase except to invest in some comfortable cotton dresses that wore well with home chores. The covid season was freeing in … Continue reading REVAMP & UPDATE YOUR WARDROBE
