Am I Still A Fashion Lover?

pants +bra top: Free Label, bag: thrifted, shoes: 6+ years old, Tencel top: Fox + Wit (4ish years ago), earrings: Etsy Over the past couple of years, my style has shifted and morphed again.  Three years ago my SAHM uniform was strong, but I still had media events, meetings, coffee meet ups, photoshoots, and life that I showed up for in my “going out clothes”.  Now, everything has changed.  I’m home a good chunk of the time.  I’ve adapted my…
