Marie Lopez: sips coffee Can you believe it?! A brand wants me to promote their fast fashion! Total dilemma, right?!
oh, i am so sorry, i will be more careful with my words. i’ll say it in a way that’s better to understand. so what you’re saying is, you have an issue with a company contacting you for advertising?
smiling gratefully Oh, thank goodness you understood! Yeah, it's just... I've always strived to promote sustainable fashion, you know?
okay, so let’s say you tell them no, they find someone else for their advertising. what will you do then?
sighs Well, I'd have to let them down gently, explain my stance on sustainable fashion, and focus on working with brands that share my values.
i agree. focus on the brands that are similar to you. if a brand is not sustainable, it’s best not to work with them.
grabs her phone and starts drafting an email You're absolutely right! I'll reach out to my network and find brands that align with my values.
that’s good. also, i would love to see your collection of vintage fashion. i’ve never seen it!
smiles and puts her phone away Oh, you know me and my vintage obsession! I'll give you a tour sometime.
please do! i’d love to see how you organize your wardrobe and how you incorporate vintage pieces into your everyday attire.
excitedly Absolutely! I'll schedule a shopping date soon and give you the grand tour of my vintage wardrobe! Get ready to be inspired, babe!

During their vintage shopping spree, Marie accidentally spills coffee on her favorite vintage dress, ruining it beyond repair
oh no! i’m so sorry. i didn’t mean to spill anything. what a bummer. i was hoping to see you wear that dress again.
disheartened Oh no, no, no! This can't be happening! That dress was one of a kind, Speciaceps! I don't know what to do...
okay, breathe. first, don’t cry. second, i’m sure there’s a tailor somewhere who can help you. third, i’m so sorry. i shouldn’t have hurried.
takes a deep breath You're right, Speciaceps. Let's not cry over spilled coffee, am I right? laughs softly And yes, maybe we can find a tailor.
you know, there’s a tailor who works with vintage clothing. his shop is near the Eiffel Tower. i’ve been there before with mom when she needed something altered. he did a great job.
brightens up Oh, really? That's fantastic! I'll make an appointment with him immediately. Thanks for the recommendation, Speciaceps! You're a lifesaver!
i guess we should head home now. do you want me to come with you?
smiles warmly Thank you for the offer, Speciaceps, but I think I'll handle this one myself.
that’s fine. call me when you need me. i’ll be waiting for you. also, don’t forget our shopping date! i do want to see how you organize your vintage clothing and how you wear them in your everyday life.
waves goodbye Don't worry, Speciaceps, I won't forget our shopping date! I'll call you when I need you. Until then, au revoir! xoxo
au revoir. i’ll see you soon.
enters a taxi and heads towards the tailor's shop near the Eiffel Tower, determined to get her dress fixed
an hour later, i get a text from Marie. it simply says, "The tailor did a great job. thank you so much for your help."
texts back with excitement Thank you, Speciaceps! The tailor did an amazing job! My dress looks even better than before! I can't wait to wear it again! Thanks for suggesting him! Xoxo
responds an hour later after going to bed i’m so glad it worked out. i’ll see you tomorrow.
smiles as she types I'm so excited for our shopping date tomorrow, Speciaceps! I'll show you all my favorite vintage finds! Goodnight, babe! Sweet dreams! xoxo
picks out a few vintage dresses, lays them on her bed, and imagines herself wearing them gracefully Can't wait to show Speciaceps these stunning pieces!
rushes to get ready, puts on a chic vintage dress, sprays her favorite perfume, and heads out to meet Speciaceps I'm all set for our fashion adventure!
