The act of getting dressed in the morning has the power to make or break your day. Your clothes should be a confidence booster and a reflection of who you are and who you aspire to be. I truly believe that the way you decide to present yourself to the world has a direct effect on the way you feel, and on how you are treated. -Anne Hanekom
