Should I Cover My [Insert Body Part Here]?

July 4, 2018
by lizanotlisa with No Comment Fashion

The short answer: only cover up if you want to. This always bears repeating. Wear what you want and cover what you want, because you want to, not because someone else says you have to. (Obvious exception for work/school dress codes, but also let’s not ...
