Today marks the launch of the 2nd International Women’s Day Collection by Gibson Look. In preparing for 2020 IWD the team at Gibson challenged themselves to look at Gibson’s past year and see how far they have evolved since the first IWD collection.
They realized as a community we have to actively choose to challenge stereotypes, fight bias, and broaden perceptions. I love the theme that they have chosen for this collection “Each for Equal” to celebrate the second IWD collection. This year they have collaborated with astounding women that I look up to as a blogger. These women represent many different lifestyles and celebrate women’s achievements to broaden the conversation.
The women that are representing items in the collection are:
Anna Monteiro of Blushing Rose Style, Ashley Lastovica of Fancy Ashley, Brittany Sjogren of Loverly Grey, Erin Schrader of Living in Yellow, Khanh Cagley of Sweet and Petite, Nasreen Shahi of Hey Nasreen, Nicole Weisman of Curves to Contour, Sarah Lambert of The Mom In Style, Stephanie Jackson of Steph Taylor Jackson, and Thamarr Guerrier of Musings of a Curvy Lady.
I was honored that the Gibson team allowed me to participate in receiving some early pieces to help support the launch of this amazing collection! I DID NOT try on the entire collection but selected items that fit into what I consider crucial spring wardrobe pieces that can be worn for work or the weekend. There were some lounge wear pieces though that I still have my eye on, more on that later!
But first let’s talk a little bit about sizing…
I am typically a 10/M/ 36DD in Gibson tops and L/12 in Gibson bottoms. I am 5’5 and in-between a petite and regular on length in most pants and skirts depending on fit.
