So instead of featuring a designer in today’s “Wednesday Designer Spotlight” post, I decided to feature a fabric – WOOL! This all began when I was recently contacted to participate in a campaign called “Fashion by Feelings” by uploading a picture of my favorite wool garments to their site. Developed as a campaign by Woolmark, Fashion by Feelings aims to educate people about wool as a natural and renewable fibre, along with encouraging people to style their favorite “wool” looks online. Of course living in Malaysia, I originally decided there was no way I could style my favorite wool garment…1.) if I did, I would literally sweat to death and 2.) most of my favorite wool garments were all packed away in storage back in the States. But then last night as I was putting away some laundry, I found one of my favorite wool blazers hanging in the back of my closet. I smiled to myself and thought, “Okay, the challenge is on!” So please see below some of my favorite WOOL garments styled HEAD to TOE…I hope you enjoy! Oh and yes, I did sweat to death, but it’s all for the love of wool, ha!

I had so much fun being the substitute photographer. It helped that I had such a cute model who followed my every direction as if she were born to it.
