I believe the best outfits tell a story, and the best stories are layered and take you on a journey.
The Story ...
I bought these boots in New York, maybe 2007, when I was following my dance dream with a friend. Experiencing classes that weren't as profuse in Australia. I had a dream of finding red cowboy boots in New York ... and I found them. A number of sizes too big, but nothing thick socks couldn't fix. I cherish them to this day.

The black cut away skirt came from an op shop, on the way to the Yarragon Fashion Festival with 𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐬𝐦𝐒𝐭𝐑𝐦𝐚𝐀𝐞𝐬 | 𝐞𝐭𝐑𝐒𝐜𝐚π₯ 𝐬π₯𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐑𝐒𝐨𝐧. A last minute addition to my outfit, which I felt brought it to life.

Over the top I layered it with my Hiding Hares Skirt. Wearing something you have made, and made with intention, makes the act of wearing more conscious and respected, knowing the time, effort and care that has been put into it. The extra layers underneath gave her some lovely fullness and good contrast.

I dug out another of my own pieces, from an age ago, when I had my first brand, 'Faebar'. A white mesh tank top with white cotton patches attached. It is over 20 years old.

The grey cropped jacket, I bought many years ago at a fashion sale Very Special Kids used to hold. They sold brands donated seconds and unwanted styles to raise money for all those beautiful children needing help. A much better way to move on unwanted items than burning them. Mum bought a matching one too πŸ₯°

Finishing off the outfit with a tie I had collected many years ago when I was designing a shirt with an inbuilt tie (that was fun) and I collected a bunch of old second hand ties. Dad swears it is his tie and if it isn't he said he had one just like it. I'll have to have a search and see if I can find it. Thanks again Michael Thomas | UPSTYLE YOUR LIFE for the tie inspo ❀️

So that's my outfits story, and by telling it, you have learnt a little of my history.

I would love to hear your outfit stories. Share a pic, and tell me the story. I'd love to learn some interesting things I might otherwise never know. πŸ–€πŸ©ΆπŸ€β€οΈ

Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I share a little insight into what is important to me and how that shapes how I view animal products in fashion. I don't talk about fur, leather and feathers, as these just aren't even on my radar as something I would ever use, perhaps I should. But I do shed a light on my thoughts and goals and what I currently have in stock. Please have a read of my recent blog on by Audrey & Grace's Animal Welfare stance.

My first design for fabric, which is not only sweet, but tells a story of a precious skill, handed down through time and used to create special memories.

The last few weeks have been big. Designing fabric, cutting and hemming hundreds of tiny rolled edges, getting the handkerchief collection live and out the door. It is a lot for one person, but such a satisfying achievement. I love my delicate hankies, taking us back to another time.
This is what the table looks like when a collection is done. I love a creative mess πŸ˜†πŸ€­

Good Taste is the third Design in The Sewing Room Collection of womens Handkerchiefs.

In the 1920s, many women crafted their own clothes, their own style, often from whatever they could get their hands on. It is a skill learned and passed on through generations. Now more than ever, this skill is needed, to reinvigorate connection, story and appreciation for the clothes we wear.

I have created this collection as not only beautiful pieces that can accompany an outfit, but also as a more sustainable option to the tissue. Something used and disposed of without thought.

Would you make the switch?
