HEY, I'M TERESA

I'm a little bit introverted -- like not super shy, but just not the kind of person who will walk up to a stranger and start a conversation.  But a while ago I started noticing that when you dress in a way that's a little out there (a stranger once described it as "witchcraft swag"), people start talking to you.  So even though I won't walk up to someone and say the first line, I've come to see my clothing choices as my way of initiating contact with the world, and creating the space for the conversation that follows.  

The original concept was to post photos of outfits, and whatever hilarious/awkward/random first line they elicited from other people.  But as a clothing and accessories designer, I love the idea that fashion is one of the tools at your disposal to express who you are -- you can choose to use it or not, but not using it means you're leaving a really important tool on the table.  So I wanted to create a space to celebrate people who infuse their personality into their sartorial choices, think about the incredibly important role that fashion plays in how we are perceived, share some stuff you learn as a clothing designer, ...and post photos of outfits and whatever first line they elicited from other people.

I hope this blog inspires you to be more you, and to dress in ways that make you feel totally powerful, genuine, and unique. Feel free to leave a comment or follow me on the gram :)
