Bying my first suit.
The story of me buying my first suit to go job hunting is very interesting and an important mark on my life. When I left University I didn’t have a single piece of clothing in my wardrobe that could be considered professional, so for the first time in my life I asked help to myContinue reading “Bying my first suit.”
