Where are you from?
I’m from Long Island, NY, but I’ve lived in Philly for ten to eleven years.
How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?
My personal style is either fully clothed or very naked. I like to show off my curves, and I like to embrace my body. I really like the confidence of Lizzo, and the way she steps out. I love the sleek, smooth styles of Gabrielle Union and Tracee Ellis Ross.
What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?
I must have some well fitting jeans that show off my body and fit comfortably. Also, I need a great bra. They’re important for any shirt I’m wearing. I also think a plain white shirt that I can dress up or down is essential.
Where do you shop?
Zara, Banana Republic, and Urban Outfitters. Those are my spots!
Describe your personal style in three words?
Clean, risqué, and curvy.
Any fashion related tips?
You wear the clothes, don’t let the clothes wear you. Have confidence in whatever you put on, and you’ll make it look good!
