How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style changes with however I’m feeling. I’m not just one thing, and it’s hard to put me in a category since I wear a hybrid of whatever makes me feel and/or look my best.

Who is your all-time favorite designer and why?
I didn’t grow up with much money so designer name brand clothing and accessories were never the focus for me. It was always about what looked best and could last for as long as possible for the least amount of money! Haha. By the time I became a teenager, I would have to convince my parents to buy clothes that actually fit me rather than go up a size because we only went clothes shopping once a year, or every other year, and they wanted to have that outfit last me for a looong time. However, as I am becoming more secure in my career/the life I have built for myself, I have found interest in wanting to know more about fashion -- which is quite surprising for me! I actually find more joy and creativity in fashion now whereas before I allowed the price tag to take center rather than my creativity.

Do you have any fashion tips passed down from your mother or grandmother?
Haha! My mother always wants me covered. Every fashion tip has to do with covering as much of my skin as possible and staying away from form fitting clothes!

What film comes to mind when you think of amazing fashion that you found inspiring?
For some reason, I loooove period pieces! Any film that takes place in the 1800’s or the 1940’s etc… Not excluding even as early as the 1980’s. I always find fashion in those types of films inspiring.

What are some of your favorite fashion basics that you wear all the time?
I wear skinny jeans a lot.
