A note from AbbeyI've always appreciated the ease of knowing what to wear.
Growing up, I wore uniforms to school and camp. There was something wonderful about having that decision already made. Years later, I found myself nostalgic for that simplicity.
I had things to do, and I didn't want my wardrobe tripping me up.
That curiosity eventually led me to study personal styling in London, where I learned more about the mechanics of getting dressed: color, fabric, fit, and how clothing works together.
My approach to clothing is equal parts practical and creative. I'm interested in the small details that make everyday dressing more interesting.
I believe that getting dressed can be both useful and enjoyable.
