Fun Fashion Quote
To conclude the news roundups for this year, I’d like to share this Martha Graham quote I found while reading an instalment of My Beauty Uniform over at Cup of Jo. I think it applies to all aspects of life, style included:
“There is only one of you in all of time, your expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.”
Wishing you a wonderful 2018!
