Our Story

about us

Back in my college days, my mom operated like a personal finance guru—not with a fancy spreadsheet, but with good old-fashioned wisdom. She handed me a limited amount of money each month, teaching me that spending too freely was a one-way ticket to “Can I borrow ten bucks?” territory. Asking for jewelry or clothes? Forget it! That’s for the rich kids who casually wave their credit cards around like magic wands.

From Crisis to Compliments

To my utter amazement, the final look matched perfectly! I felt like a walking art piece, and my friends’ compliments started rolling in. “Wow, are you on a reality show?” they asked. Little did they know, I had just survived a small-scale fashion crisis without my mom’s help!

Fashioning Elegance with Ingenuity

So when traditional days rolled around, I found myself in a comedic predicament. I needed outfits and jewelry for four different days, but asking my mom? That felt like asking a cat to take a bath—tricky and likely to end in chaos. Instead of panicking, I put on my thinking cap. Drawing from my childhood as a painter—where creativity flowed like paint on a canvas—I decided to channel my inner Picasso (or maybe it was just a very creative toddler) and made a piece of jewelry. I even transformed two different dresses into one chic, designer-looking outfit. Who knew I had a flair for fashion and DIY?
