An ex designer/stylist who downscaled my excessive wardrobe to live on board a canal boat in the UK midlands. It's great having freed myself from an addictive relationship with shopping and fast fashion BUT I still love clothes and really love creative but practical styling.
I've been having a time figuring out what works in a field, for a hike, for cruising the boat and creating a wardrobe that works for an office during the week and for my tiny home on water on the weekends. It's a strange set of requirements my wardrobe needs to meet and only made more complicated by my need for it to be effortless, modern and creative, a fine balance if you will..
Subscribe and watch as I navigate my new sustainable fashion side hustle and share all the details of my working girl-come-boat life appropriate wardrobe (and I'm not even sure that sentence makes sense but it is literally my life in a nutshell.)

Authentic personal style | ACCESSORISING to the rescue!
Welcome to a new series of videos, telling my story around figuring out the truest version of my personal style. There is a lot of content out there, and I don't have all the answers, nor do I think there is a finite number of steps to be truly content with your wardrobe - if if that's even possible? What I do have a is a story. I've had a career in fashion, as a designer, stylist, pattern cutter and now as a reworked fashion designer and champion of slow fashion and buying second hand. Along with that I've been through a series of lifestyle changes as I went from a small town, to a big city, to the beach on my doorstep in South Africa and now I live on a boat in the UK! In this series I'll take you through how I have found, and continue to reaffirm my confidence in my personal style and how it relates to my lifestyle changes as well as I how to stay content with what I own and purchase.
I am no minimalist, and I definitely am always looking for ways to keep my wardrobe feeling fresh and modern and to keep my style moving forward, evolving - I need to be inspired by the clothing and outfits that I wear. It's hard to navigate this while also staying conscious of the impact fashion and our consumption of it has on the outside world. There is so much to think about and lots more to say here, buuuut, I'm just one gal, bobbing about on a boat and trying my best! That's where we start, by trying to make change - here's how I do that..
I hope you enjoy and find some relatable and useful takeaways!
I upcycle and rework second men's shirts and blazers in my spare time and you can shop and support my sustainable fashion venture here: www.melissamunrodesign.com/

SMALL SPACE BIG DREAMS | BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE FASHION BUSINESS ON A BOAT
I love your video’s ❤
Thank you!🙏🏻 I’ve got more on the way soon I’ve just been getting settled after moving off the boat!
I have just deconstructed a beautiful italian suit that my husband only wore once and it was too small for him!! I just have to put it back together now, the task was really daunting but you have given me the inspiration to carry on. Wish me luck🤞
Your channel is amazing!! I find that fashion and makeup-loving people are more rare in the traveling world. I used to live in an RV and loved getting ready every day and still dressing well. Please show us your makeup bag/medicine cabinet as of now? I'd love to see your set-up. It's my dream to live on a boat one day ☺✨
Hope you come back to UA-cam you make great try on clips on Instagram.
Soon! We’ve just been moving off our boat and so the last two months have been manic but will be back as soon as we’re settled! Xx
What color is this blazer
I love your videos,
Another great video full of fun ways to add accessories. The wearing of gold on one hand and silver on the other resonates with me, as I have white gold engagement ring and wedding ring on left hand and two gold rings on right, both were gifted. You inspired me to experiment more. Love your style ❤
Wow!! Congratulations on your launch of your beautiful designs, what a truly exciting time for you! Your looks were creative, cute and accessible and I love your discussion of this topic and your tips. It looks like you were in seventh heaven in the little inserted videos, you have manifested all of this … once again I’m inspired! Have a great weekend! Donna 🧚♀️❤️🐝
Love your video, your style and approach to fashion. So inspiring.
Thank you so much! Im so glad you enjoyed it!🫶🏻
I envy your sewing skills and good taste!! SOOOO good!!! I take my secondhand finds to the tailor to have it altered. It costs quite a bit, but is definitely worth it. Better quality and more of a unique touch. Keep creating, girl!!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s so worth it to tailor your clothes to suit you! Makes all the difference - always so lovely to find appreciation from like minds! Thank you so much for the encouragement 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Such good tips!!! My wardrobe is calling for a clear out and in desperate need of some quality staples!
Love a clear out to refresh for the season!🙌🏻 🫶🏻
If you’d like more info on my reworked designs, all the links are in the description box along with the details for PAVEMENT store - thank you so much for watching and please feel free to share your own shopping tips for slowing down below! 🫶🏻
I think you have given up what a shame
Hi Mellisa just came across your video and thought what great advice you give. Your style is very similar to mine but I love how you give the classic style a little twist to make it more interesting. Perhaps when your showing some of your items a little cut away to show us exactly how you would style it would be great to see. Looking forward to your next video 👍🤗
I totally resonate with your amazing style. Keep them coming. ❤
So great to hear!🙏🏻❤️
I love the creative and original approach you have to wards fashion and style! You are a breath of fresh air and an inspiration! Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed this presentation! 🧚🏻♀️❤️🐝
So glad you liked it - thank you for watching xx
Every video is a thoughtful treat. I love your style. Edited to add OMG, a green utility jacket. Actually Green Utility Jacket could be my three words. And while I type this edit, you show Converse sneakers. I always find your videos inspiring and relatable. Looking forward to the next one. Thx!
😂 a green utility jacket can really take you places!!🙌🏻 glad you enjoyed! Xx
What a treat a video from you, yay! So much style packed into this video!! Never disappoint.
Thank you so much🫶🏻
Love your take on personal style!
Thank you!❤
Your content, style and vibe are soooooo good! So glad I discovered your Page. My new fave along with Brittany Bathgate. Keep up the excellent work ❤!!!!
Thank you so much! I’m working on trying to be more consistent and find more time to make these and comments like this are so encouraging! I’m so glad you enjoy them🙏🏻 Oh and I love Brittany Bathgate too!👌🏻🫶🏻
Love listening to you describe your passion! And It’s so refreshing looking at fashion from this different point of view 🌻
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🫶🏻
For reference, how tall are you and can you give it to me in feet and inches please. I am 5’8
I’m 5’6 and half
I really love and appreciate your unique beautiful style. Inspiring ❤
Thank you so much! That is really encouraging to hear🫶🏻
Hi fabulous Melissa! I love your intelligent approach to your videos - I 💯 agree that we should be wearing what we love and feel great in rather than this flattering business .. as a much older woman (62) it’s what I’m doing more than ever and you are an inspiration! Thank you for giving me the lift I needed today! Donna from Australia 🧚♀️❤️🐝
What a lovely comment to read!🙏🏻🫶🏻 I’m so glad you can relate - thank you so much!
Hi Melissa - recent subscriber to your channel and have been binging through it. Just want to say I really appreciate your content and think you've so eloquently articulated and demonstrated such great concepts and approaches to personal style. Really looking forward to future videos! :D
Hi! I’m so glad your are enjoying them, this was really encouraging to read - thank you so much I’ll keep them coming! 🫶🏻✨
love love every look, totally my style aswell. Oversize look when styled well, is just it!
Totally!👌🏻🫶🏻
Wow❤
Interesting ideas, too oversized for my taste, though
woaaa i like that... definitely will do that to my old shirt ❤
Take pictures of yourself on days that you love your outfit. Then you have a catalog of outfits to pick from when you don't know what to wear....you can also include looks from the internet that you love so you can "interpet" their looks with the clothes that you have...
Totally! Such a good thing to do👌🏻🙌🏻
Your shoes are so cool. They make quite the difference, particularly the clogs. The blue ones!!!
I love it! ❤️ can be used everyday🤗
My wardrobe is filled with eye catchy things because my mom liked it and bought me those😂
@@evedivabie489oh the confusion of having too many ‘eye catchy things’!😂 glad you enjoyed the video!🫶🏻
Love this - hope you sell the roomy pants soon as well as your new linen shirt - great - thanks!!!!!
Thanks Judy! I’ll do my best to get them ready!
Love your videos. I am inspired to look at my evolving style in new ways. ❤
I appreciate your approach and thoughtfulness to your personal style. I am going through a similar process, and your videos are quite helpful. Thank you!
Love your style. I am glad to have found your channel. And as a former liveaboard boater, your lifestyle is the cherry on top. ❤
Very nice
I love this! Go you - I wish you all the best! What a clever woman 🧚🏻♀️❤️🐝
Thank you so much!🫶🏻
I already do the jeans, white tee-shirts, men's loafers and oversized blazers for work. I had never thought of altering the blazers, though! Genius! And your designs all look fantastic. I'm going to keep going to Goodwill (my little private addiction) and shopping the men's section. You're right; the men's section at the thrift store is a gold mine. Such great fabrics. Thank you for the inspiration. I only recently found a good tailor (I sew, but I also work an 8-5 job) who shortened a fabulous pair of men's wool trousers for me (they still had the label on when I bought them); can hardly wait to start wearing them in a couple of months. Now I can bring her a few new projects!
Lovely to meet a fellow thrifting enthusiast! It can be so much fun to take ownership and control over our wardrobes in this way🙌🏻 glad you found something you relate to here and good luck with your tailoring projects!
👍
It’s been a month since my last video! Life took over, but I’m back and talking about my wardrobe again - I hope you enjoy this one and find some relatable info! Next week we’re building uniforms for life! Promise I won’t stay away as long this time 🫶🏻😎
Hahahaha - when I saw this video pop up on my feed, JOY. I am excited for the next video, but I also appreciate that life is happening. Enjoyed this video, I just really enjoy your style but also how you phrase things and fashion makes sense to me e.g., talking about how versatile wide leg pants with different shoes (makes sense why I subconsciously didn't like a lot of my shoes with my skinny jeans) but couldn't figure it out, The other point you made was about clothes not being fussy, again subconsciously clothes that I am having to fuse with throughout the day annoy me. So watching this video helps me think about specific words that I want to associate with my own style, I have my colours I love, but it's just specific items and materials. So the more I watch your videos and rewatch I always learn something new that make sense to me.
Thank you so much for this comment! It’s so good to know you found this relatable. Figuring out our wardrobe frustrations and how to fix them is so freeing! Good luck with your own wardrobe journey and so happy to have you along for mine x
I also rely on a seasonless base. It has come about naturally in my California climate. I am giving it much more thought as I prepare to retire next year in a true four season climate. I want to choose new seasonal additions that work with the seasonless core I already have and love. Your videos are so helpful in planning the best items to add for a new climate and new way life. Not buying yet, but enjoying thinking about it.
@@pamelajezek677 glad you are finding them helpful! Style is so tied to lifestyle and the climate and does need some attention more so than just loving items of clothing! Always best to take it slow and get it right! Wishing you lots of fun as you plan for this new phase xx
❣️ P R O M O S M
I’m going to like even before I even watch the video.
Your style and creativity are just another level.
Absolutely love your style so much. The earrings are also an absolute dream.
Your style is so so great
Wow…your designs are just so subtly wild…
Love your video’s ❤
Thanks Joy!🫶🏻
Brilliant! I especially appreciate how you explained your style references and how you utilize them to hone your outfits. I’ve never heard anyone verbalize it that way before but it makes such good sense.
Thanks so much!I’m so glad you got something from this🙌🏻 always best, when there is so much ‘noise’ out there to bring it back to a personal place🫶🏻
Love love love all your videos!! Thank you for continuing to inspire me. I love how unique and personal your style is ❤
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! There’s so much to navigate in ‘fashion’ but I think personal stories are the best and most inspiring ways to learn and move from🫶🏻
