Celebrating KMJ Women: A Community of Style and Grace

Posted by Kate McHale Jensen on

When we launched KMJ, we never could have imagined the incredible community of women who would embrace our brand and make it their own. The KMJ Woman Photo Contest has been a heartwarming reminder of the style, spirit, and authenticity you bring to our pieces. From everyday moments to special occasions, you’ve shown us how KMJ fits seamlessly into your lives. We are beyond grateful for each of you who participated, and we can’t wait to celebrate your unique style!

Scroll below to see the amazing photos everyone sent us and what they had to say about their KMJ experience. Cheers to you, the women who make KMJ shine!

P.S. We chose a winner today! Congrats Amanda Taylor! Check your email for a message on how to get your free shirt.

Hello! I'm a huge fan and I get so excited for the new drops. Because I live in South Texas I'm always looking for things I can layer. Here I am getting my chemo treatment as I have been battling cancer since 2020. Love KMJ and love watching the reels and the stories. Thank you for making fashion so fun!!! Love ruffles :) I even own one I have yet to wear. Shhhhhhh :)

I love my KMJ Navy Quarantini, it looks so cute with white jeans! It's the perfect shift to wear when I want to look pulled together but still casual.

I came across KMJ several years ago and it's the perfect statement shirt. I needed something to wear to the 2024 Devon Horse show. I found my favorite KMJ shirt at Kramer Drive. It was the perfect mix of vibrant color, classic style and a pop of pizazz around the collar. I LOVE your shirts! Thank you for making me feel pretty 🩷

I love my KMJ shirts. I first discovered your shirts on Facebook & Instagram. I ordered the pink Bontina, and received compliments everywhere I went. When visiting Oxford, MS, I found a retailer with your blouses in their shop and purchased this blue plaid Bontina and a denim Quarantina I plan to own at least one of every style before too long.

Love rocking my KMJ Quarantina while on vacation! Comfy, casual, and chic!

Kate and her team are some of the most real, authentic and enthusiastic people I've ever experienced in this world of fashion. Kate's "realness" and way of relating to her creations are what inspire me to want to wear these one of a kind beauties. Her team has always treated me with utmost respect whenever I've had a return or question about any of their merchandise. These one of a kind men's shirts, have filled a niche that I think women's wear needed and we don't even know it. I'm truly inspired by everyone at KMJ! 

Right: Jamie Hymowitz
Poppy- she is fun flirty and fabulous. She is also sexy and chic!!! Such an amazing top that can be worn so many ways. PS. My husband kept telling me he loved the black Poppy

The two shirts I sent in to KMJ to have reworked are such a great piece of craftsmanship! They are such a treasure to me because they were my dad’s shirts, and he was quite literally the very best dad a girl could ever want. These shirts are worth every penny and I plan to send in more. THANK YOU KMJ for this amazing service!

Middle: Karen Villalobos
I'd held onto my dad's shirt for two years. You've made it into a forever piece. Thank you.

I think I'm up to owning 10 KMJ's spanning many styles! I'm not one to wear red however when I spotted this, I KNEW it was for me! I have worn at the holidays (obvs) but it has come in handy for game day too! I always look forward to what's next. The flannels….sold out so fast, please bring back again!

LOVE my KMJ!!

Middle: Kimberly Overall
This isn’t the best picture but I wore my KMJ shirt when I was heading to Wimberley TX to confront my Mom. I had concerns about her cognitive decline and knew it was going to be a difficult confrontational conversation. I wanted to go into it with confidence and a sense of security. My Dad had recently passed away and I had sent you his shirt to be reworked. He love plaid flannel. I wore this shirt that day to give me confidence and strength - and also because it’s cute!!

Right: Kippy Clapp
I love my KMJ shirts that I have but I especially love this purple one. I have one son that went to TCU and one LSU, so this is the perfect college game day shirt for me! I always get so many compliments on it when I wear it and I feel so cute in it!!! Thanks so much for making such a great product!

I stumbled across KMJ on IG and was intrigued by the concept of turning a men's shirt into a more feminine look. Once I received my first one…I was hooked! The drops are all amazing 🤩 Keep up the great work Kate & Team ♥️

So delighted to discover your company via an Instagram post by Sarah @ Whoorl I love the whole concept of reworking men's shirts for women from both a sustainability and a design perspective. Your designs are gorgeous 💕 I have 2 so far and I will definitely be back for more 😊

I wore this KMJ shirt on our 20th anniversary trip to North Carolina. This pink striped shirt is the epitome of me. It’s classic, elegant, and the ruffle gives it just the amount of flair to know that the person wearing it has a fun, edgy side to her as well. As a mom to three boys and one male cavapoo puppy, I love to wear pink to stand out in a sea of blue and all things hunting, fishing and sports in our house I can’t tell you how many people stopped me in North Carolina asking me about my shirt. I have three KMJ shirts now, and they all bring me joy every time I put one on. Thank YOU for creating such a timeless shirt!
