It’s truly been quite a while
Since the last Project Sister Act post
So much has happened over the past 10 months. When a group of us paid homage to the 70s. Or that time when we paired sequins with sneakers for the ultimate in mish-mash. Or the post which began it all, as we decked out in leather and white.
Plaid Jacket & Fringed Clutch (Stitch Fix) | Polka Dot Leggings (JC Penny) | Black Bow Button-Down (Forever21) | Sequin Booties (Urbanog) | Preen Oversized Sunnies (Ditto)
As it was then, Project Sister Act is very close to my heart. It advocates how women across all age groups (I’m talking about teens to 60s, 70s, 80s), are united in showcasing that style knows no age boundary. That style is indeed an expression of one’s personality, no matter if one’s a product of the 70s or 90s. And that the one same motif can be stylish on any and every woman, regardless of the year she was born.
STYLE IS AGELESS
Project Sister Act goes hand in hand with the mentality of #iwillwearwhatilike as hosted by my friend and partner in debunking societal perceptions, Catherine.
And I couldn’t be prouder that it’s back.
WITH A BANG
It is with the utmost pleasure that I introduce the ladies who make up this month’s Project Sister Act with our theme of Red.
Eve, Teens (the world according to eve)
Miranda, 20s (shop and twirl)
Miriam, 30s (farm girl miriam)
Sheela, 40s (sheela writes)
Tania, 50s (50 is not old)
Greetje, 60s (no fear of fashion)
They look absolutely fabulous. We look absolutely fabulous!!
And here comes another exciting announcement. My very first link-up. I’ve been wanting to do this for the longest time and which better post to do it in than Project Sister Act SO please, link away. This week it’s about Red, yes, but really, you can post outfits of any and every colour. The theme is (and will always be) optional.
Oh and by the way, I’m ever so grateful for each and every single one of you.
R E A L L Y, R E A L L Y
Love, Sheela

Can you believe the coat arrived just that morning?? Initially I wasn’t even going to keep it because Houston simply doesn’t stay cold long enough to justify another jacket but at the end of the day, the heart wants what the heart wants 🙂 xoxo

I’m so honored to be part of your project Sheela! It’s fun, it empowers women, and it celebrates something we have to do every day anyway: Putting on clothes. It’s sad how the joyful act of choosing an outfit can be such a chore and source of insecurities for women. Putting away with silly rules and giving everybody the freedom to do what the hell they want is so important!!
Thanks for bringing this amazing project to life.

How brilliantly you’ve articulated the situation, Miriam. That’s precisely how the land lies these days. Women are so conscious of what they wear that they ponder long and hard before putting on their clothes. When, in actually, the act of dressing-up is a process which was designed to be undertaken with absolute fun and joy, experienced with utter delight and relish.
