How do you define your personal style? What are your inspirations?

My personal style always depends on my mood of the day. If I want to chill and relax , I love to wear big graphic tee shirts and biker shorts or sweats. If I want to be fun and fashionable, I would wear bright colorful outfits. If I want to make a statement, I would wear clothes that scream my black pride.

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

My essentials are a pair of ripped or distress jeans for my rough but stylish look, an oversized comfy hoodie for days I want to chill but also be to myself, and a printed headwrap for bad hair days but good pride days.

Where do you shop?

About 80% of my clothing comes from thrift stores. I love having the different types of clothes from different eras. Love the fact that I can have something old that looks new for a great price. It helps to create your own sense of style!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Fun, Bold, & Expressive!
