HC: Describe your style for us.
TM: I’m pretty preppy. My influence is straight out of the pages of a J. Crew magazine.
HC: Where else do you shop besides J. Crew?
TM: I love The Gap, Francesca’s, and Forever 21.
HC: What’s your go-to look for class? What about for a night out on Franklin Street?
TM: For class, black leggings with an oversized sweater and a scarf with riding boots. For a night out, a little black dress with a statement necklace—I’m obsessed with them—and booties.
HC: Cute! What trends are you loving right now? Any trends you’d like to see go out?
TM: My favorite trend would have to be vests and as far for trends I want to see go out, harem pants. It’s just the slouch and sag of them. I’m also not into the funky patterns.
HC: What’s something that should be in every girl’s closet?
TM: Riding boots, definitely.
HC: Fashion quote you live by?
TM: Just wear whatever makes you feel good!
