BEST TOTE LOOK

Tell us a bit about yourself
I am an jewelry designer and online boutique owner with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing.

What are you wearing in the photo and how did you decide to put it together?
I am wearing a Forever 21 tunic tank, American Apparel lame leggings, Nine West booties, a faux leather jacket from Wet Seal, and all of the jewelry is from my online boutique, Bare Accessories. I was going to watch a live band play that night, so I wanted to be comfortable with a little rocker edge.

Where do you get your style inspiration?
Reading style blogs, browsing pics of the Olsens, Erin Wasson, Géraldine Saglio, etc., and of course watching runway shows like Alexander Wang and Balmain. I'm typically inspired to build an outfit around my shoes. Shoes are a major source of inspiration for me.

What is the most unique thing about how your decide what goes in/out of your closet?
I'm on a strict budget. The only thing I ever splurge on is shoes. If I haven't worn a clothing item in the past year, I donate it to charity.


What is your favorite thing in your closet? What do you wear the most?
Right now, these Nine West booties are too easy to wear. They work with everything. I have to make a conscious effort to mix it up and not wear them too much.

What general fashion advice would you give to other girls your age?
If you put an outfit together and you're not feeling it, wear something else. Even the best ensemble won't work if you don't feel it. Also, don't wear something just because it's a trend. Make sure the piece works for you specifically, and that it fits with your personal style..
