Right on! Like you, I started making some changes a little at a time around the middle of last year. One little change at a time. Not for anyone else, but for me. I have posted many times about these changes over the last couple months and proud of them. Not to seek validation. I don't need it. But it is to shar with others it can be done.
More power to you gal. Do your thing. Wear those pre-loved jeans with pride.
