Hi! I'm Nicole, I am an aspiring fashion/grief blogger. I know it sounds like a weird mix, but let me explain. When I was 15 my mother passed away, and grief hit me like a truck. I would always try to find blogs and websites that talked about grief from a young teen/young adults point of view; and during that time there weren't many. My whole life I have been passionate about fashion and the beauty behind expressing oneself by clothing. I have made fashion blogs in the past, but they never felt personal, or true to myself. When I graduated high school, I decided to go through my mother's clothing, and found clothes that I never knew that my mother owned, I cried, laughed and most importantly, I felt more connected with my mother. I then had an epiphany, and decided to start a blog where I style outfits using my mothers clothing, while talking about her and her poetry, and the importance of remembering the people we have lost; I named it Remembrance Wardrobe. My mother was such a creative and bright soul, and she wanted to be a poet/author, and she was never able to do so. The blog is not only my outlet to create, but it's also my mother's outlet to have her work and legacy to be projected. And hopefully in the near future, other's would like to share their stories on it as well.
