“I’m usually telling a story of some sort with an outfit — trying to evoke the past, or channel someone or something…”
Your position at Free People…
Design Assistant – Intimately Layering.
How does your job influence your personal style?
At its core, my style has become very functional. I work in a lot of statement vintage pieces, but I also have to be able to work in whatever I’m wearing. My job is very hands-on and pretty active.
What is your personal style?
I’m less of a trend person and more emotion-driven when it comes to dressing. Some days I’ll roll out in a head-to-toe look, but it always has to be dressed down and a bit messy — more me. I tend to wear what I feel. I’m a true romantic at heart so I’m usually telling a story of some sort with an outfit — trying to evoke the past or channel someone or something (for my own amusement cause I’m a bit of a nerd about style). Lately I’ve been channeling my mom and other strong women I am continually inspired by. I wear a lot of vintage that I’ve cut up and remade. But function really is key — I also just honestly wear a lot of jeans or old work pants.
Go-to fashion rule or styling trick?
I try not to wear anything that makes me think about what I’m wearing all day. If it doesn’t feel comfortable and easy – that’s usually a pretty good clue that it’s not my look.
Favorite part about your job?
The collaboration that happens daily amongst my team…it’s a gift to work creatively with people I admire and feel supported by.
Most challenging part of your job?
Keeping a lint roller handy. Amidst all the sketching, rolling around on the floor cutting fabric, sewing mock-ups of new designs, and then rushing off to meetings, it’s nearly impossible to keep yourself (and in my case, your all-black outfit) fully clear of pesky dangling sewing threads and lint…a girl can dream!
This is such a cute outfit and I love the idea of not wearing anything that you will think about all day – that should definitely be a rule to know if you aren’t in the right clothes for you! Love it.
Her outfit is everything! Super cute and totally girl boss! ❤
