// ABOUT JENEICE //
Location | Los Angeles, CA Job | Multiple roles at Pavemint (a greentech startup) Where To Find Her | Her Instagram and her website Favorite Brand | I mostly buy Reformation or secondhand items from Crossroads Trading Co., but I wouldn’t say I have a favorite.
Like many of the other amazing women featured in this series, my relationship to style started in childhood. For me, it was the positive feedback from teachers that motivated me initially, then it was the need to fix my mom’s wardrobe (since she had so much to say about mine). Eventually, things led to me getting a personal stylist job. And, since I tend to obsess about my work, I learned as much as I could about quality brands and garment care.
“I had always cared about the environment, but I had no idea how much fashion was impacting it…I decided to use [my blog] as a platform to model a more conscious approach to fashion.”
I came across sustainable and ethical fashion as a result of my partner sharing all the things he was learning. I had always cared about the environment, but I had no idea how much fashion was impacting it before then. He actually started my blog to give me a creative outlet that I was desperately needing at the time and from there I decided to use it as a platform to model a more conscious approach to fashion.
My approach to sustainable fashion is to just have fun with it. I think often times the more we care about something, the more we can push people away from it. And if we’re serious about making sustainable and ethical fashion the new normal, the less people we put off, the better.

Monday
A few of my co-workers and I participate in Mom Jean Monday. With the exception of my Matt & Nat bag, everything in this look is secondhand. My authentic vintage Levi’s and platform cork shoes are both products of my patience. It took me two years to find the right jeans and nine months for these shoes.
Today’s Pieces:
Secondhand top from Crossroads Secondhand jeans from Wasteland Secondhand bar ring from Wasteland Hand-me-down jewelry Secondhand shoes from Crossroads Matt & Nat vegan bucket bag
Tuesday
I like to follow the lowkey vibes from Monday with some high-key fierceness on Tuesday. This look also took a long time to actualize, five years in total, but I loved holding onto my garments long enough for it to come together.
Today’s Pieces:
Secondhand top from Crossroads Hand-me-down skirt Secondhand shoes from Crossroads Vintage purse
Wednesday
On Wednesdays we wear pink. Hehe, I’m kinda kidding… pink is not the requirement, however, at my office, Wednesdays are our meeting days. So I tend to wear an outfit more on the professional comfort side.
Today’s Pieces:
Le Beret Francais hat Secondhand glasses from Iguana Vintage vest Reformation top Vintage skirt Matt & Nat vegan bucket bag Nicora Shoes boots
Thursday
I tend to treat Thursdays like the new Fridays because I like to enjoy my environment and most social spots are too packed for me to hang out with friends on a Friday. So I get as formal as a three-piece denim suit to dance, play games, and hang out.
Today’s Pieces:
LeftBank Earrings Hand-me-down bralette Reformation denim top Jacket from Crossroads Reformation jeans Susi Studio vegan shoes
Friday
I’ve had a few birthday parties to attend this month, so I’ve been able to dress up more than usual. This look was inspired by Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow. Thankfully, all my friends know how much I love movies, acting, and dressing up.
Today’s Pieces:
Filth Jewelry earrings Reformation top Vintage belt Secondhand skirt from Wasteland Secondhand clutch from Crossroads Secondhand shoes from Crossroads Hynt Beauty eyeshadow
Saturday
Weekends are a good time to see and be seen, so my weekend looks are important to me. I like to put together eye-catching looks that will make people want to stop me and ask about what I’m wearing. This yellow bodysuit brought in the eyes while my linen seersucker skirt started the conversations. (This actually happened three times in this outfit.)
Today’s Pieces:
Earrings from PoshMark Reformation bodysuit American Apparel belt Reformation skirt Vintage shoes & purse Bite Beauty lipstick
Sunday
There’s nothing like throwing on a dress to feel my best on a Sunday, which is usually my time to realign for the coming week. I chose this one for a restorative day at the Getty.
