UPDATE: I’ve just been informed it’s Friday the 13th!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fit of the Day: CH Upcycled Quilt Coat #2, Canadian Tuxedo and white cotton shell (because baby it’s cold outside and cooler indoor spaces is part of my sustainable living strategy/lifestyle)

I feel like this reel not only reflects my personal style, it also gives you a glimpse into my challenge in sometimes using the right words to explain my work because I’m dyslexic. Thank you for your patience and please don’t hesitate to ask me to repeat myself if I say something that’s confusing, I won’t be offended ;)

Fit of the Day: Upcycled Old Navy + CH sweater, Merino Shell, Upcycled Levi’s + CH barrel jeans, Artigiani cashmere scarf

I like to style a top or bottom different ways in a week for continuity and also convenience of not having to think about putting together a new outfit each day. A simple switch of sweater and shoes is all you need to refresh something that feels right for the weather, occasion or simply mood.

But seriously, does your trunk look like a portable shoe closet?

Thinking of starting a new series highlighting the Fit of the day where I share pieces that I’ve designed, re/made, altered or mended and how I style them.
