integrate elegance; reversible hooded vest

in2 GR8 ELLEglance, speaks to fashion forward inner child who lives the 90's queen dream and cannot be contained into the "whats trending" box. The bold contrast of denim and lace is the perfect balance between the delicate feminie energy and strong masculine power . This reversible hooded vest stands out with versitility and personal style expression to the wardrobe with it's unique repurposing of pre-loved details and it's ability to switch sides depending on your mood. 
 
Although this vest has multiple buttons and closures from the previous garments (hello acid wash jeans & button up shirts!!), I find it is best styled open... With that said, you do you and rock it as you see fit!
 
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:
 
Iolite clears thought forms, opens intuition and aids in understanding and releasing the causes of addiction. It also helps to express your true self, free from the expectations of others and releases discord within relationships.
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.
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.
 
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 vest is made with an array of denim (assumibly cotton), cotton flannel and the most beautiful vintage table cloth feels persumably like a polyester (cotton blend?)...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, my vests fit sizes S-L depending how you want it to hang, so if your measurments are close to mine, they should fit you! The model pictured wears a size small/medium top and size large bottom, with measurments; bust: 38"/ waist: 32"/ hip: 41" 
 
All measurements(below) are taken with the garment lying flat. If fabric stretches, stretched measurment will be in brackets.
