Disclaimer: In this episode, we only talk about fashion in the sense of how you dress, the styles and colour choices. We don't talk about the other areas surrounding fashion that definitely does very seriously affect people's mental health.
With that said, do you usually dress to reflect your mood or do you dress to change your mood?
