WORK

vintage black shirt with gold threads, Genevieve Gozum multichain necklace, studded slim "belt" from SM Mens, DIY suede skirt, Janeo heels As I've mentioned in a prior post, I'm glad to be in a workplace where I am judged based on what I can bring to the table skills-wise, instead of what I wear. Yes, I have a half-shaved head (I'm still not...
