Conference Fashion

We are now less than a month away from Surrey. I’m focusing on the important things to get ready. Wardrobe. A few weeks ago I was in Name Droppers. It’s a high end consignment shop. In other words, it’s a used clothing store. I bought two shirts and four pairs of pants. They were clearing…

My Week
