What are your favorite clothing stores?
My favorite clothing stores are Charlotte Russe and Forever 21. I love them both but mostly Charlotte Russe because I feel that the bright colors are cute and that the clothing designs fit my personality. I get all jumpy when I enter those stores! I don’t know why! When I’m with friends they know that Charlotte Russe is my store!
How would you describe your style?
I would say my style is very random. It kind of depends on my mood. If I’m happy I tend to go for a girlier, chill approach. I would wear lots of dresses, circle skirts and very flowy blouses. I also love bows and cute iconic animals like foxes on my shirts. When I want to be taken seriously I tend to go for more neutrals and dark colors. I would go for a more sophisticated look such as a blazer and jeans or a skirt.
What influences your style?
Most of my style is influenced by Asian fashion trends, but sometimes I adore the bohemian, vintage styles. I usually wear a lot of high wasted outfits or outfits that are complete with a lace-like sweater or crotchet pullover.
What are your favorite Asian fashion trends?
One of my favorite trends would have to be a lot of loose, flowy clothing with a soft color palette. Also another one would be the nerdy, sweet kind of style. It’s where the fashion consists of a lot of collard shirts underneath sweaters with dresses and circle skirts. They’re both very simple, but look elegant.
With finals coming up, do you have a go to outfit that you wear when you’ve overslept?
I usually would wear a dress or a funny graphic tee with leggings or pants. I just accessorize it with accessories and a sweater or jacket. My shoes are always black flats or boots.
