About this episode

Gabrielle Arruda talks with Valerie about her personal style journey and the concept of storytelling in fashion.

Another episode of Style Files, where I talk with real listeners about their real style journeys. This time I’m talking with Valerie about how fit changed everything for her, how she built a personal style persona she calls “an eccentric old lady in an English manor,” and why personal style is often more about storytelling than rules. We also get into tailoring, thrifting, style systems, and finding what actually feels like you. Full Show Notes: https://gabriellearruda.com/style-files-the-ecc...
