The Micro-Trends of 2022 that I Loved
I ‘aught’ to tell you: some people wear their hearts on their sleeves. I wear mine all over my body. It’s a canvas of things I love, from people I love, and a time I bittersweetly, have feelings for: the early 2000s. I grew up in the early and late aughts, trying to figure out…
