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/

    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!

      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.

      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.
