Remain Relevant. Bring the Light

Solid at the core, forever evolving, I’ve embraced this new fashion of non fashion, in my own way. The Fashion Benjamin Button.

Today, I’m sitting comfortably in a custom bleached hoodie, reflecting on my own fashion history. As a pageant baby, gowns of silk and lace with heels and gloves are my foundation.

As a Catholic school girl, uniforms and etiquette were hand in hand.

And as a young bureaucrat, the youngest IT Administrator in the City of Oakland’s history, Brooks Brothers suits and monogrammed Tiffany cuff links, governed most of my 20’s and 30’s (excluding night life, which required as little clothing as possible. Thank God, we didn’t have today’s social media then!)

The Freedom of Being Fired

Who knew saving 80 jobs and $250K in one fiscal quarter would lead to a bullshit termination? I didn’t, but it did end up being my freeing grace.

No longer a government employee, the fashion ego (born from my love of theater and history), held on pause for a great paycheck, was free!

But to wear what?

Skull Beanies? Sure!

Nails too long to type? Sure!

My fav cons that are hella old? Sure!

While I still adore dressing up and wearing a high heel in the supermarket, I am also enjoying these things, what are they called.. oh yeah, sneakers. And like the coolest freaking boots, lol. (And yes, I do wear my khaki LevelUP hoodie alot! It’s so freaking soft and comfortable.)
