I think it's super easy to just assume people are fine, especially when they wake up in the morning and, you know, get ready for class, get ready for work or whatever and put on their uniform of life and just think, OK, well, they're they showed up. They don't I don't need to check in on them or anything like that.
Ever wondered what your outfit says about your state of mind?

They dive into how our clothing choices can reflect and even affect our emotions and identity.
From the all-black wardrobe that might signal a tough time to the bright colors that scream joy, they discuss how society often makes snap judgments based on what we wear. But it’s not all about assumptions; the conversation also highlights how fashion can be a powerful tool for self-expression and communication.
