Few people wear clothing like a walking canvas but Jasmine Codgell is one of them. A teacher by day and a soul singer by night, Codgell’s outfits fluctuate with her mood-a bit of whatever inspires her at that moment. Her ability to put together creative ensembles is definitely a gift.
In five words, sum up your everyday style: Versatile, Funky, Eclectic, Emotional & Care-Free.
Why did you use the word “emotional” to describe your style? My style changes everyday with my moods and the weather. If I am in a bad mood, I will wear a “Dad Hat” with the brim low over my face because I don’t want to be bothered. A good mood and I’ll pull out a colorful head wrap.
You wear you hair in really big afros and locs shaped as a crown with jewelry in it. What made you chose those hairstyles and where do you get those pieces from? I love wearing my hair big! The bigger the better! It is captivating. I feel very powerful with my afro and my locs. The loc jewelry I make myself and it can be personalized to show creativity as well as character. It helps separate me from the crowd.
Where are some of you favorite spots to shop in the Glass City? I really like shopping downtown at Handmade Toledo, I can find many different pieces, especially accessories. They add a hint of flavor to any outfit!
What color do you think complements you the most? Earth tones…Like tan, burnt orange, olive green, taupe, cream. Fall is my season, so I get inspiration from it.
