Mel and I talked about the concepts of over-dressed vs. under-dressed, and for sure, they doesn’t believe in being over-dressed: “No, you should wear whatever you want to wear”.

Getting dressed on the daily is about mood for Mel. Practicality only factors in when considering weather—but that’s what you temporarily don to protect your thoughtfully crafted fit underneath.
