Anyone who knows me knows that denim is my ultimate favorite, but this piece is on a whole different level. I have had my eye on this Steven Paul Judd x Faherty Brand Thunder Bird Denim Workshirt for a while now and I’m beyond grateful to add it to my wardrobe.


This amazing shirt has a spread collar, black buttons, front chest pockets with matching black buttons, and a stunning embroidery detail on the back. This masterpiece is made of 70% Organic Cotton and 30% Linen.


The design’s lightning bolt matches my lightning bolt wrist tattoo perfectly⚡and as someone with a deep connection to birds of prey, that massive Thunder Bird on the back spoke right to my soul. 🦅✨


It’s more than just a beautiful denim shirt, it carries a profound tribal legacy:


🌧️🗻Sépyàldà (Rainy Mountain) = Ultimate survival, continuity, and resilience.


🦅⚡️Thunder Bird Power, protection, freedom, and true sovereignty.


I may not be Indigenous, but I totally feel a deep connection to what it means to go through the storm and survive, just in a different way.


I am truly honored to wear this amazing work of art. Steven Paul Judd is a Kiowa/Choctaw artist who brilliantly blends traditional Indigenous imagery with modern pop culture and I’m a big fan.


If you love finding standout, meaningful pieces like this but don’t know where to look, that is exactly what we do during our time together. I take my clients out shopping to source the perfect pieces for their unique goals, and then we do a full wardrobe integration to ensure everything mixes and matches effortlessly. You can check out my signature in-person styling sessions and schedule a discovery call to see how we can elevate your everyday look and make sure we are a good fit.


Wear the art, respect the history, and honor the culture. Happy Summer Solstice! May this peak of light bring renewal and bright new beginnings to us all. Dream big✌🏻☀️✨
