For our first “Style Spotlight” of the week, Ashanti answers a few questions about her style relevant to her colorful world. Check out what she has to say below:

Where are you from?

I’m from Lancaster, PA and just moved to Philadelphia two years ago.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

My personal style is very retro inspired. I love vintage styles! Also, I like to dress bubbly and bright.

My inspirations are bright colors, and the old Hollywood glamour type of woman (Any hyper feminine woman I’m in love with)!

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

The first thing that comes to mind is red lipstick. In addition, I love anything that’s flowy. It looks good on every person, gender, or body, especially when you’re wearing a dress, skirt, or pants (Anything loose).

Where do you shop?

I shop at thrift stores or anything that looks cool on the outside. I can shop anywhere!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Saucy, bubbly, and retro!

Any fashion related tips?

Always wear what you want to wear, and wear what you feel comfortable in. Just dress how you want to, and go with the flow. If it’s really funky, comfortable, and mix matching, then wear it. If its really mute and neutral, wear it too! Do what you want, and just wear what you want. It always looks the best, and you’ll always feel the best when you’re doing exactly what you want to do.
