Designer Spotlight-WOOL

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Grace

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!

For more information on the "Fashion By Feelings" campaign, please click on the image below and don't forget to check out my uploaded image...you can even LIKE it!

A special thank you to my amazing photographer today, Tobi...thanks for your kindness!

    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.
