Dig Being Different
This is a blog focused and designed around discussing, exploring and otherwise embracing the opposite of normalcy… as far as everyday fashion is concerned. I find that one of the best intermediaries by which to express one’s self is through dress; through saying “Honestly, I don’t care that the collective cost of my entire ensemble is ten dollars and I am quite certain that...
