April 27th, 2010 · Comments Off · General Updates
I just read “The Style Imparative” on Psyshology Today, which continues to be one of my favorite websites. In it, Estroff Marano clearly articulates the difference between fashion and style. What you wear not only says a lot about you, but it communicates so much more
