BRIGHT YOUNG THING Jami Shelton
This is one of my oldest friends, Jami Shelton. She’s also one of the wildest, most original characters I know. She once disappeared for a summer, no cell phone, no email, only to return to explain that she had been living in a treehouse in North Carolina and her cell phone had simply run out of batteries!
And she also takes DIY to the max, from building homes, to bikes, to upcycling every single garment she gets her hands on into something insane and beautiful. This blouse was a extra large, full length sleeve, frumpy, secretary blouse from the 1980′s. Now it’s a punk-rock victorian masterpiece! And this is why she is my Super James…
