Our definition of a fashionista in Seattle is someone who has a keen interest in fashion and keeps up with the latest trends, all while incorporating the unique style elements that it is known for. Our fashion scene is influenced by its distinct weather, tech culture, and the city's eclectic and laid-back vibe. That’s why we get in the new arrivals we do. All the fashion is well thought out by Shelley because she knows you all so well and what sells and what her diverse age groups really like to wear. So, here we are showing you what’s new this week and being the fashion minded customers you are, you will find something that’s just perfect for you.
If you love fashion, you undoubtedly have a fashionista story to tell. For me, it all began at the tender age of 5 or 6. My mother, always dressed to impress, was the epitome of elegance, from her meticulously styled hair to her perfectly coordinated shoes. Her makeup was flawless, embodying the glamour of the 50s and 60s when style was paramount. Each morning, she would lay out my outfit for the day on my bed—before I had to wear a Catholic school uniform, which definitely cramped my style. Everything had to match, or I would throw a fit. I remember sitting on my bed, eagerly waiting for my mom to choose clothes from my dresser that matched perfectly, even down to the socks. I was quite the little diva when it came to my wardrobe. Thankfully, my persistence paid off, and I always got my way with how I dressed. As I grew older, my love for fashion expanded. I not only had one closet but three, overflowing with clothes, shoes, coats, hats, and handbags.
Living in Denver for a while, I had the opportunity to work with fashion designers, sharing their stories as a radio host and staying updated with the latest trends in their studios. I even participated in fashion shows just to wear their stunning creations. I worked at Nordstrom as a personal shopper when I wasn't teaching, indulging my passion for fashion by helping others find their perfect look.
Before the era of influencers and Instagram, I would have certainly embraced those platforms. I adored putting together outfits for other women, which led me to run a nonprofit called Dress for Success Denver. This organization provided women with workplace clothing and helped them understand how to live a new life. It was a place for a second chance and super nice clothing! Fashion isn't just a passion for me—it's a way of life. I love creating it, wearing it, and working in places that celebrate amazing fashion. One of those places was Meadow Boutique, where resisting the urge to buy every new piece was a constant struggle.In hindsight I would have loved to have been a fashion designer, but we all know how life happens it’s own way. Today, I still dress like it's my last day on earth, strutting my stuff regardless of the weather. Cold or hot, I'm in it to win it! Thanks for letting me share my fashionista story. We'd love to hear yours, and don't say you don't have one—if you come into Meadow, we know you do!
