In a previous life… my world was: fashion.
I was a:
* wardrobe stylist
* mobile boutique owner
* personal shopper
* and closet cleansing maniac
And my closet reflected that (in my own way.)
But one thing I didn’t focus on at the time was longevity.
I bought well but I didn’t invest. I didn’t think about how many years I could take care of a piece. How it would support me long term. I just thought about what matched my style at that moment.
And then I met this little silk dress… and everything changed. I’d never felt so good in something. I put it on and was like “woah….” I looked at myself differently. And it got me thinking about investing… in pieces that last longer than a season or one event.
It shifted the way I looked at my wardrobe… and left me with an urge to fully invest in it.
To stop buying fast fashion that works just for this season and start thinking “like a Parisian.” Like someone who sees wardrobe-building as a lifelong curation, not a constant sport of shopping.
So here’s what I did about it:

- Rose 2-Way Cardigan | White Bodysuit | Navy Cardigan | Striped Sweater
- Bennet Fur Lined Boots | Evelyn Heeled Booties
- The other brand I considered was Blundstone but felt like the Toms style was more me.
- I also grabbed these cute new tennies to replace my worn out ones.
- I was at a trade show for my mom’s business and came across this amazing booth.
