I'm in!

I didn't quite fit the mould, but for a long time, I tried anyway.

Come hang out with me!

Hi!I 'm Alix

For most of my life I did what most of us do…I followed the trends, bought what was in style, tried to put together outfits that looked like they were supposed to. But it never quite landed. I always felt like I was wearing someone else's idea of what I should look like.

So I kept trying to fit in. And kept feeling like myself less and less.

It wasn't until my mid-40s that something shifted. I got tired of fading into the background. Tired of playing it safe with my clothes because I wasn't sure I was allowed to do anything else. I decided that if I was going to get dressed every day anyway, I wanted to actually feel something when I did.

So I stopped trying to fit the mould and started building my own. I paid attention to what actually worked on my body, what felt like me, what I kept reaching for versus what kept getting pushed to the back. Slowly a method started to take shape and with it a version of myself I actually recognised.

I'm not here because I have it all figured out. I'm here because I know what it feels like to stand in a dressing room trying on someone else's aesthetic and wondering why nothing ever feels right. And I know what it feels like on the other side of that too.

I'm so happy you're here
