inner flower child; bomber style patchwork jacket
in HER FLOW(er) child, speaks to the light heart earth angel who moves through life with a soft and compassionate flow. Stand out contrast of color and texture come to play on this unique layering jacket. The pastel hues and patchwork floral print are balanced out in harmony with the bold edge of the slate knit sleeves with animal print cuffs. This drapy yet structured jacket has a few drawstrings that allow versatility of creating closure and a playful silhouette. The body of this peace is lined with a super soft scarf material.
Fun fact: this peace started out as a patchwork tank top, that evolved along the way... The creative process is a beautiful thing that I allow myself to flow through!
Create a slip knot in the front draw strings and slip it over a shoulder button, or tie it to one of the inside neck strings to keep it closed. This jacket looks lovely worn open and can have a different look by pulling the fabric up on the bottom and waistband drawstring and making a slip knot to hold it in place. Wrap the strings to the back for a cross over look, or pull it all together with a personalized broach.
Each peace I create has been gridded with crystals to work with the wearer to assist in energetic protection and elevated vibrational frequency. This peace contains:
Rutilated quartz helps with concentration and memory, clears the aura, and balances the chakras. It can also relieve anxiety, ease depression, and promote self-discipline.
Smoky quartz is prized for its perceived ability to ward off stress while promoting tolerance and resolve in difficult situations. It is thought to be a protective stone, with a strong association with the earth and base chakras, making it ideal for environmental consciousness.
Black tourmaline provides protection and cleansing against harmful energy stemming from people or the environment. It has an ability to soak up, repel and banish negative energy. Black tourmaline is associated with the root chakra, providing balance, security and grounding in your life.
Rose Quartz is the stone of universal love. It restores trust and harmony in relationships, encouraging unconditional love. Rose Quartz purifies and opens the heart at all levels to promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing and feelings of peace.
Citrine is associated with positivity and optimism, which is not surprising given its cheerful color. It's often used to assist in manifesting financial abundance and opportunities. It can also be used to awaken the solar plexus chakra, helping to cultivate confidence and personal power.
Tigers Eye is good for growing your confidence and strength and it is known as the stone of courage. It is a root and sacral chakra stone which means it helps you to get grounded, build a safe and strong foundation, and find your motivation once more. It's also good at warding off negative energy.
FABRIC CONTENT: The art of upcycling comes with the beauty of the unknown... ie, it can be tricky to know the exact fabric content of the items I create. This jacket is made with an array of peaces of floral fabrics that I repurposed from my scrap bin, a few soft scarfs (poly/acrylic) and some cotton sleeves off a zip up hoodie + added sweater cuffs...Please know I only work with fabrics that feel good (physically & energetically) and hold integrity to wear well.
SIZE/FIT: Every brand and body run so differently, so I have included measurments to gauge if it will fit you. Generally speaking, this peace will fit a S-M, depending how you want it to hang.

***For the best longevity of your garment, hand wash with COLD water & hang/lay flat to dry.

Using the dryer is NOT recommended.
