Hi I’m Kassi

Hey Lemon8 fam! So many of you have been curious about who I am beyond my short bio, and I absolutely love that! I thought I'd dive a little deeper into what makes me, well, *me*. First off, being a Virgo really shapes my world. If you know, you know! It means I'm all about the details, a bit of a perfectionist (especially when it comes to styling an outfit or finding that perfect thrifted gem!), and I truly value practicality and nature. My 'Virgo energy' often translates into a love for organized spaces and a thoughtful approach to everything, from my teaching career to my fashion choices. It's why I'm always looking for quality and longevity in what I wear, rather than just chasing fleeting trends – a core part of my 'Personal Style>>> Trends' philosophy that many of you have seen in my posts. Speaking of fashion, my passion for being a thrifter runs deep. There’s something incredibly satisfying about rummaging through racks and discovering a unique piece that tells its own story. For me, thrifting isn't just about saving money; it's about sustainability, creativity, and building a wardrobe that's authentically *mine*. You might have seen me rocking a black floral dress I found, or perhaps a cozy beige and brown patterned turtleneck sweater – these are often my proudest thrifted finds that I style with my favorite layered necklaces. It's all about finding treasures and giving them a new life! Beyond my personal style, my everyday life is deeply rooted in the PNW. The Pacific Northwest isn't just a location; it's a lifestyle. The lush greenery, the misty mornings, and the vibrant arts scene all inspire me daily. And yes, being a coffee snob is practically a requirement here! I love exploring local cafes, finding the best pour-overs, and enjoying a quiet moment with a perfectly brewed cup. It's one of my little rituals that helps me recharge, especially after a busy day of teaching. And finally, my heart truly belongs to autumn. There’s just something magical about the crisp air, the changing leaves, and the cozy vibes. It’s when I pull out my favorite sweaters (like that comfy turtleneck!), light pumpkin-scented candles, and embrace all things warm and inviting. It's the season that truly encapsulates my aesthetic and brings me so much joy. I often find myself styling outfits with little autumn touches, sometimes even playfully balancing tiny pumpkins for a photo, just because it makes me smile! I hope this gives you a better glimpse into my world and what you can expect from my Lemon8 journey. I love sharing my thrifting hauls, styling tips, PNW adventures, and just general life musings with you all. Feel free to drop a comment and tell me something about *you*!
