Mint Market Styles
It’s been a very long time since my last “What am I wearing post?” (July!) which is funny because I started ChicpeaJC to write about fashion, outfits etc. The first year of writing the blog, I was dressing up every single day, but now my priorities have changed and you’re most likely going to see […]
