Be confident with being yourself -   

Being yourself is truly the ultimate gift, and yet so many women struggle with being self. So I ask this, WHY are you intimidated by anyone, when you’re YOU?! We have all had good & bad people experiences, some worst than others but do you allow the bad to consume your entire life. Always remember bitterness & misery is NOT a good look, physically or mentally. Below are few questions to ask yourself when creating your style, use this as guide for inspo! 

1. Where does your love of fashion come from?

Honestly, my love of fashion comes from my mother. My mom has always been fly and as her only child I vividly remember her always dressing me up. Clothes, shoes & accessories were like my siblings. My love for fashion grew in high school, I attended an Arts school. I studied Fashion Design, outside of school I was in many local fashion shows, visited other cities to attend fashion marts, and events. 

2. Where do you go to be inspired?

I go to art museums, the local farmers market, sometimes I’ll drive around to see inspiration from being outdoors. Music & movies also inspire me. 

3. Who are some of your celebrity style crushes?

So, many celebrities have personal stylist & I am my own stylist. If I had to choose - Zendaya, Teyana Taylor, Draya Michele, Tracee Elis Ross are a few I think have good input on their style. Now I would have to see how they style themselves without a stylist. 

4. How would you describe your personal style & how did you develop it?

I consider my personal style to be cool & classic. I’ve always been obsessed with timeless pieces so with that being in my mind it’s been easy to maintain my style. 

5. What are 5 pieces you think every girl should have in her fashion arsenal?

I would have to say: 

• Good under garments
  
• Good pair of jeans
  
• A white blouse
  
• Leather jacket
  
• Black dress 

6. Do you have any fashion rules when putting together an outfit?

My only rule is to be yourself. 

7. If you could be styled by anyone, who would you choose?

I would love to be styled by Law Roach. Aside from myself I would trust him with my fashion life lol. 

8. What is your favorite item of clothing and why?

A t-shirt, it’s so versatile & can be worn many ways. 

9. If you could only wear one outfit for an entire week what outfit would that be?

That would be a jogger set, I promise I’ll make it different every day & I’ll be comfortable. 

10. What fashion tips and tricks can you offer your readers?

Again, be yourself and invest in quality timeless pieces. I’m always recommending the thrift store. You do not have to purchase high – end designer items to look good, don’t feed into labels.
