Jensen, [...]

Aspiring designer Bre Wagner whipped past us in The Pearl District this week, on the fashion fast track in happy stripes and badass boots. We chased her down (literally), and learned she works as a server/bartender in Northwest Portland, and she enjoys burning her paychecks in The Pearl.
