Over the past few months, I’ve come to realise something about my wardrobe – I’m inching closer to my 30s and I still don’t know what to wear or how to wear it well.

Each time I try to tackle the question of personal style, it feels like an ordeal. It’s easier to collapse in front of my closet, scream that I have nothing to wear then scroll through fast fashion websites.
