Been a while since I’ve submitted to IFB’s Links à la Mode but I’m happy that mine was featured! Check out the post below plus some other great submissions! Scratch the Surface “They” say fashion is superficial, but would those same people say the same thing if they had no clothes? Or if they had to wear ugly clothes?

We think not! This week we have a load of great posts that get to the essentials of style, from styling that plaid shirt literally 50 ways to becoming more confident to concealing those pesky under eye circles (because you know, you do need to look your best!)
