Thought provoking topic, Rhonda Jean. For most of my adult life, I’ve always made some discrete concession, like underdressing. As I got older and perhaps felt a bit less constrained, a slightly more open self expression crept in... usually in my choice of tops, slacks or jewelry.

instinctively, I’m more of an all or nothing type of girl, but these accommodations helped me get from one moment to another.
