I am a firm believer that clothing does not need to be from a big name or cost a fortune to be credible. There are a lot of designer items that I have discovered are produced very poorly, and similarly, small no-name labels with exquisite craftsmanship and unique forms. The important thing is to always be on the look-out for that next lovely object, with a discerning but unobscured eye.

Don’t throw on the Prada top if it makes you look like crap. Don’t deck yourself in designer labels, suddenly making you appear one of dozens trying to discover style via the IT object. And most importantly, remember that fashion is essentially a celebration of yourself, like soul jewelry.

You can find beautiful soul jewelry anywhere — even at Marshalls.

THE GOODS:
Top: Marshalls
Skirt: Marshalls

Recently I am quite smitten with the idea of abstraction – finding art, hidden in the secret places. The folds of cloth, the shadow, the stripe. The beauty of the microcosm, and what it might open to reveal…
