Westside Ring-Mistress Sasha keeps the train on track in her vintage Vera Wang striped sweater. A souvenir of her first job at Nu Look consignment shop in Minneapolis, it’s a shout of happiness over a well-constructed scarlet dress from Banana Republic. Her beat-up Fluvogs are the newest items in the ensemble.

Miss Michelle is hard at work in some sort of French Farm Girl ensemble, all locally sourced in Pasadena. Denim culotte-jumper from Jasleen’s, Hansel from Basel socks from Elisa B, and shoes from Camille’s. Shockingly, her bra is NOT one we carry: its Zephyra from La Perla. Construction not as good as Empreinte or PrimaDonna, but sometimes beauty trumps all!

Our inimitable Miss Jessica is casually intriguing in a little black dress. Bold buckles, square frames, cropped hair softened with Mom’s favorite turquoise earrings.  Comfy shoes by Simple support the surprise star of the outfit: ankle-warmers crafted from repurposed fabrics by Jessica herself, back in her time working in the chilly Forever 21 display warehouse.

East Hollywood Queen Bee Sarah builds an elegant rainy day outfit out of one amazing find: a like-new Jenni Kayne coat for $15 at Goodwill. Just throw it over a bunch of black stuff —Uniqlo blouse, Zara skirt, Rite-Aid tights and Target shoes in this case —and let it reign.

Master thrifter Miss Agueda catches the spirit in a trio of festival ensembles based on bras from her extensive Marlies Dekkers collection. Says Agueda, “I enjoy the hunt for unique pieces. One year I broke down and got a top from H&M. I saw at least five girls every day wearing the same thing! NEVER AGAIN.”

The Jenette Bras logo is based on Jenette’s handwriting.

… and I’m feeling sentimental. Let’s take a look back at our humble beginnings:

Jenette Bras was founded by me, Jenette Goldstein, and my husband, Aaron Noble, in 2009, at 4308 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA.  I was an actress; Aaron was a painter (we still are). Neither of us had ever run a business.

For the inaugural Outfit of the Week post we had to go with Miss Chadae in a classic mid-century look in our store colors, pink and coral. Chadae made the shirt herself (and a matching skirt we are still waiting to see). The skirt is a vintage Amanda Price and the platforms are Seychelles. Nobody looks better annotating a client card than you, Chad!
