Tell me your story
I am definitely no writer, but I love telling stories and equally adore hearing them as well. Does not have to be real just entertaining, but if it is real, even better. Let me explain before you assume. Vintage clothing is my way of creating and telling a story. See, I have always loved the idea of being an individual with my style. I know everyone says that, but I truly loath following the “in “crowd. I do not have anything against anyone who wants to, it’s just not for me. Where are the risk takers and innovators? Conversation pieces are my specialty, and my vintage clothes are just one way I create conversations. First, you have the story of who wore it before you, what kind of life did that person live and where did they were it to. Then, the story of how you came to find that item, was it in a thrift store, yard or estate sale, your grandmas’ closet. You meet the most interesting people in these places. It is almost like we all are a part of this secret society of treasure hunters. We tell tales of other pieces we are wearing; places we have visited and new places to go. So much joy in finding our personal “treasures”. The next story is where will you where this piece, what story will you create in you 1950’s swing dress with multicolored polka dots. My readers feel nostalgic for a simpler time.

A Vintage Love Story
Something about that first sepia-colored polaroid just felt like truth. Only one familiar face, Granny, but all the faces felt like a home I knew every room too. Bellbottom pants, polyester shirts, platform shoes, picked afros, draping perfectly over sun-kissed flawless skin, it was the 70’s. My Granny was never big on “sharing”, so I created my own stories. Honestly, I cannot recall a time in my early life where an image drew me in so tenderly. From that day forward I knew I needed to be in that energy forever.
