Dress for Impressions: A Random Review

Every March The Creative Cookie celebrates Women's History month by asking bloggers to share what they like to wear when they blog in a series of short interviews called Dress for Impressions. Well, this month flew by leaving me without enough time to ask a single blogger, boo-hoo. In lieu, I've decided to list 11 Dress for Impressions ladies in review -- click their link to see what this inspring set is up to.

Dress For Impressions 2012 / Colleen Newvine Tebeau

To close this year's series of Dress for Impressions posts to celebrate (an extremely extended) Women's History Month, I'm happy to introduce Colleen!

I must tell the story of how we met. kamau and I were art shopping at a Brooklyn gallery a few months after moving to New York. We fell in love with a piece and decided to buy it for our collection. Luckily for us we were able to meet the artist, who happened to be John, Colleen's hubby. After a quick chat we discovered that we had many things in common including our West Michigan upbringing and migration to the city that never sleeps.

Art galleries are the perfect place to meet cool peeps:).

Colleen's blog Newvine Growing is brimming with wisdom and thoughtful dialogue. When you check it out be sure to follow the Blogversation with me and seven other bloggers chatting weekly throughout 2012 on various juicy topics. Find Colleen on Twitter too, @cnewvine.

My name is: Colleen Newvine Teabeau

I live in: Brooklyn, NY

My blog is: Newvine Growing

Five words that describe my blog are: Inspiration and living life intentionally

When I blog, I love wearing: Depends on the day, because sometimes I love to write late at night in my jammies, sometimes I write curled up on the couch on a cozy Saturday, sometimes I squeeze a blog post into a busy day when I'm charging off to do a million things. What I wear depends on my day and my mood, but one generality is I like soft comfy fabrics without too much fussiness. I like to wear clothes that make me feel good, without getting in my way, so for example, I love the idea of bracelets but just can't wear them because they distract me at the keyboard. Necklaces, earrings and scarves work far better for me.

Dress For Impressions 2012 / Tereneh Mosley

I'm psyched to reintroduce you to my friend Tereneh. This is her 2nd time dressing for impressions too, whoo-hoo! 

Tereneh told me that she wanted to make an outfit but the sewing machine was not cooperating so she took her picture in parts.

Such a creative lady:).

The shirt she purchased in Japan. The skirt she made from three pieces of antique silk brocade from a shop in Jenkinstown in New Platz, New York. And her shoes were picked up in Kuala Lumpur.

Be sure to follow her @IdiaDega!
