Long time no blog. Truthfully, I was going to stop blogging altogether and shut down The Clothing Statement...but then my yearly subscription got automatically charged again–– so we're back!

I was so impressed that I decided [...]
My bedroom never truly felt mine. To me, it was simply a place that I kept my stuff and slept in. I needed it to feel like my sanctuary away from the rest of the world, so I set out to do a complete makeover. While it's still a work in progress, I thought I [...]
