Age brings wisdom, and for me, that wisdom has come in the form of understanding my personal sense of style. Having spent much of my early 20s testing out Wholesale Replica Bag It trends, I’ve found myself wanting to be a bit pickier as I age. That’s not to say that I eschew trends altogether, but that I cherry-pick which ones I want to embrace, and when I do, I find a way to put my own twist on them.
What has helped me to walk that line between what’s of-the-moment and what’s actually cool has been asking one question before I buy something new. What is the timeline of this piece?
