I believe that I can do absolutely anything that I put my mind to and working in the fashion industry has always been something that I desired to be apart of.
As I begin
to become more and more comfortable with who I am; I found it necessary to find
a unique way to express who I am on the inside to the world and what better way
to do that then expressing that revelation then through my style.
If I were to
describe my style in one word it would be bohipsticated (bohemian + hipster +
sophisticated). I love clashing different styles together, shapes, and eras to
create my own signature style. In my book, there are no rules to fashion!
My method of
shopping usually comes from thrifty finds (I just love the thrill of the hunt)!
Finding inexpensive treasures through various second hand, consignment, and
sales racks brings me extreme joy.
Linking up
with my partner, Lauren Clark, has been a dream. I know that she shares in the
same joy that I have for treasure hunting and I look to her as one of my style
inspirations. So needless to say when the opportunity was presented to me to
work with her, I jumped! She’s brilliant!
I hope that
you not only find great inexpensive style tips through Pennies &
Recreations but you find a great wealth of confidence and esteem in who you are
as an individual and that you shine your light…(in great style)!

Fashion has
been a big part of my life ever since I was old enough to shop. There is
no greater thrill than finding a $400 dress from Nordstrom’s for $4.99.
My style? I
like mixing it up. I don't think you have to be defined by one "
type" of style. My style is dependent on my mood - some days I feel
like dressing hipster and the next I might dress more rocker. I tend to
lean more towards boho – the style derives from living in Austin for over 10
years. Your style doesn't have to fit in one box or category; your budget might
not allow you to do more but that is why the "Wardrobe Club"
exists. Learn more about Wardrobe Club HERE.
I love
helping other woman dress; when a woman puts on a new outfit that not only fits
her body, but her personality and her budget, she lights up with
confidence. Women long to feel beautiful in their skin and I enjoy
helping them do that through fashion.
My favorite
place to shop - thrift stores! Finding good deals make me giddy.
Thrift stores are a way for everyone to dress stylish while saving some cash at
the same time. If thrift stores overwhelm you, let me take you for an
hour or two and I will show you how much fun they can be!
