Last week, challenging myself, I made an Instagram Reel talking to the screen about leopard print sweaters. It did well, and inspired me this week to do one talking about the new sneakers I got. This video did even better and I gained well over 100 new followers from it. I have never been a…
We all know by now I am a fan of Universal Standard. Since 2017, I have been a customer of this revolutionary apparel brand that has helped democratize fashion. Offering elevated basics and the occasional unique piece and designer collaboration in sizes 00-40, Universal Standard makes fashion truly size inclusive. But dang, has it been…
