Hi my name is...

So I could do the cliché "about the designer" but I think the why is more important. So hi, my name is Marissa Rees – and this is It's Not Taken. Fashion has always been an outlet for me. People ask the question "What's your style?" but I think that changes frequently, sometimes even day to day. You can easily tell how I'm feeling that day or night by what the fit is like. Am I feeling spontaneous or do I have shit to do? What vibe am I going for? What aura do I want to put off? The point here is it's important and okay to switch it up, express yourself, and if you need – maybe even trick yourself into having a good day. I could be feeling like shit but throwing on a dope outfit switches my entire mood. This has been an extremely long time coming and I am excited to share with you. My why is – it just feels right.
