A head and shoulders pic of me. I am wearing eye make up, long colourful feather earrings and a small smile. My hair is styled. Actually.
Them: Katie, why do you look different?
Me: I'm not wearing PJs or my glasses, I'm wearing make up and a bra.
This is what we call "going out out" for @beyondreflectuk.bsky.social annual bash.
