This post is going to be different to the content I have been producing recently, but it is important to hold myself and my ignorance accountable, and make it my priority to educate myself.

5 days of outfits: Uni, work and everything in between

As I settle into my final year at uni, I’ve been thinking more about how I dress day to day.
