What is Confused Girl? 

Confused Girl is building the bridge between spirit and apparel. All of our designs are inspired by a different healing crystal. I create the designs by taking high resolution photos of crystals that inspire me and working with an art team to print them onto fabric. The healing crystals balance yin/yang energy and cultivate courage, creativity and healing. Our leggings are 4-way stretch, breathable and made in the USA and Europe. We pride ourselves in using the best quality fabric on the market.

What are some sacrifices you’ve made to get to where you are? 

I had to give up a lot of little luxuries to start my business. I have given up my gym membership, cable tv, dinners out and shopping altogether. I was only wearing the clothes I made for the first 3 years.

What has been your most satisfying moment in business? 

 One of my former interns was in Munich, Germany and messaged me that she had just seen a girl bike past her in our Simplicity leggings.
