Are you wearing your feelings?
Have you ever chosen what to wear because it makes you feel more confident? What we wear can affect how we feel, how we see ourselves and how others see us. In this blog, I explore the psychology behind clothing, self-image and confidence, and why it’s about choice rather than expectation.
