Moxy Style

No matter how we dress, we make a choice. It's self-expression, a reflection of our personality. How my own dressing style has evolved is correlated with changes in me, including the evolution of playfulness, daringness, self-acceptance, confidence.

I hope you'll be entertained by some of my style choices showcased below.
