Q: One piece you would love to say goodbye to?
A: Cropped Tees. I still see a lot of women wearing cropped tees. I own cropped tees, but I’m going to throw them away real soon, I just feel like they look like baby t-hirts or something you browed from your little sister.
Q: How do you express your individuality through your wardrobe?
A: What I like to do is blend edginess; like I want it to be chic and classy. Not too much feminine and not too much masculine. If I’m going to wear a blouse I like to throw a blazer over it. I don’t like to look too girly.
Q:That must-have piece for the season?
A: I would say really nice shoes, because I feel like in this weather it’s hard to find nice shoes that keep your feet warm and looking stylish without looking like there’s a dead animal on your foot. [I like] something nice like suede boots or high heeled boots.
Q: Who do you look to for your style inspiration?
A: Oh my god, Rihanna! I feel like Riahnna is the perfect blend for feminine and masculine energy for your wardrobe. She’s not afraid and really bold to express herself. I take a lot of tips from her, like the way I shape my nails to the way I tie up my shirts.
Q: Staple every collegiette should own?
A: A really nice bag; it really dresses things up. I think an accessory like a bag makes [someone’s] whole outfit solid, along with shoes- bags make a statement. Everything from the color, the texture and designer. So I think definitely a nice bag to put the outfit all together.
