My name is Avery Follett i work at the Calgary location, my pronouns are they,them and today I am wearing Agave in the burgundy and black colourway. Today I am wearing this sci-fi fantasy t-shirt, it’s a couple series that I really like, with my tan cargo pants. I enjoy the way it looks and it feels super comfortable
as well. I do like the accent between my burgundy Agave and some of the icons on my shirt and then I like to accentuate a little bit with my chain and with a couple studs in my ears.
Pride to me means I feel like in this day and age it’s getting scarier and harder to be out as a queer person or as an LGBTQ person. And so to live and walk through the world as a visibly queer person to dress that way and to be proud about it is kind of shining that light for other people to give them permission that it’s okay for you to do this too, you don’t have to be afraid. And I think that resisting that temptation to hide or to dress down is really important because once you lose that it’s so hard to get
it back. And so I try to always dress authentically some days are harder some days are easier but I really try to be my true self when I’m going about my business.
We’re kind of moving out of sweater season but I am a big sweater person. I love a crew neck sweater so this is my dark fantasy anime sweater and it has kind of an acid wash effect that I love. I adore this red detailing on the sleeves and when I pair them with my black cargo joggers and my Agave I think it’s just a magical combination: the red the red the detailing I just really adore it.
My outfit choice will affect my personality depending on whether I’m feeling more masc or fem that day. I’m really always wearing earrings and the necklace but I like to play around with colors. Typically I’ll
go with black or earth tones when I’m feeling more masculine that day and I’ll go with pastels maybe some pink if I’m feeling more feminine.
Today I am wearing my black baby embroidery sweatshirt with my designer sweatpants. I love that both of them have white embroidery and I’m really in love with the cyber sigilism detailing on them as well as the dye job. I feel like it gives a lot of cyberpunk, a lot of grit and grunge and I’m really attracted to that. And it gives a really good slouched appearance with both of them together.
I started exploring my style in high school but I always felt like I couldn’t really get there. I was a
wannabe for the longest time but I’ve always been alternative, always wanted to explore kind of the darker fashion world and it’s through working here with some of my really fashionable co-workers that I’ve started to feel brave enough to get some of those pieces that really make me feel like me. I’m really inspired by new metal aesthetics, cyber punk stuff like that and I feel like this outfit really speaks to how my style has changed
really sure how to say it. And it’s great because if it’s a little cold outside I put it on and if it’s warm I take it off and, ta! I’m still really good-looking.
Lili is great cuz she’s made out of tapestry um I always wanted like that iconic cowboy boot but but I can’t get my feet in them because my instep is too high and so I bought Lili and when you wear her with, like, slightly longer jeans she kind of looks like a boot. Like, is it a shoe is it a boot? I don’t know. And it’s tapestry and it has that toe, so it’s like a cowboy boot.
This outfit I got this these pants like what feels like a million years ago um and I feel like everybody needs a nice pair of high-waisted pants because then they’re not strapped across your stomach when you’re really full. And then wide leg is perfect because there’s nothing really hugging you so if you need to catch a breeze you can and they look fancy without effort.
How do I decide what to wear each day? Usually I think about the shoes first and then I think about the weather: Is it really hot? Is it really cold? Is it going to be a million different temperatures? I usually start shoes first because I have a lot of just solid pieces, one color of clothing, um so it’s really the shoes that are the fun part. like the shoes are where I put my
investment and my love and my personality and then I feel like my clothes are something that are really secondary they’re really just the piece that like shows the shoe as a statement.
The goal with all three of my outfits was to have one piece that I could wear and transition three different looks cuz that’s also my personality it’s kind of a little lazy but also like really smart. So the black t-shirt it goes well with jeans it goes well with dress pants and now, for the going out look, the ooh I’m fancy look, it’s an accordion skirt, which is so fun and airy and also
a very underrated instrument. Very great, yes!
My favorite Fluevogs, I have two, so my first favorite I guess would be my very first pair eight years ago, the Lyra from the Wonders family. She’s this wonderful sort of turquoise and metallic
woody orange, she’s lovely. She’s my first pair, I still wear her, I love her, I feel like she’s going to be a bookend forever. And my second favorite pair are a pair that John made for me for my wedding and I absolutely love them we sort of figured out what we wanted together with the help of
marketing and yeah they’re just tied to such a wonderful memory, of course they’re my favorite pair, yeah.
