The Girl Behind "Story Behind The Cloth":
Hello!My name is Alissa.
I enjoy exploring personal style in light of life stories, and i love genuine expression and seeing people shine with confidence.
Seeing you shine with confidence!
I love all things creative--whether i'm getting to be part of the creative process myself, or just watching in admiration of the creativity of another.
I adore people, stories, cultures, and adventures and want to capture the beauty of it all!
The love of all these things is my main reason for starting Story Behind The Cloth.

I'm excited for you to join me in a journey of self-discovery as we uncover why we dress the ways we do, and how we can confidently express who we are!
