HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT BEING KNOWN AS THE SCHOOL’S FASHIONABLE TEACHER?
“SELF-CONFIDENCE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD IN ANYTHING.”
That’s really flattering. I love fashion, so if people aren’t repulsed by the choices I make – that’s great!
2
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? Quite simple and minimalist. I stay away from bright colours and things that are too busy. I try to bring in at least one striking element in each outfit.
3
WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOUR STYLE? I love British street fashion; Kate Moss, Siena Miller, classic looks. That said, I don’t try to copy one specific person.
4
HOW LONG DO YOU TAKE TO DECIDE ON AN OUTFIT? It depends on the occasion. In the morning before school, 5 minutes.
5
DO YOU PLAN YOUR OUTFITS OR DO YOU DRESS ACCORDING TO YOUR MOOD OR HOW YOU ARE FEELING THAT DAY? I dress according to how I am feeling, but I will decide on one piece that I want to wear and then mix and match until I am happy with it. The majority of my closet ends up on the floor…

IS BEING COMFORTABLE MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOOKING GOOD? I like to balance comfy and suffering for fashion. If you are too comfortable, you probably don’t look too good.
7
DO YOU TRY TO FOLLOW THE LATEST TRENDS OR PREFER DOING YOUR OWN THING? There are certain trends/colour schemes that I will embrace, but I always incorporate them into my existing taste. I will never spend an excessive amount of money on a piece that isn’t timeless! I use the latest trends to inspire what I will buy, but I will never wear something that doesn’t suit me, just for the sake of being fashionable. A good example is boyfriend jeans – highly fashionable but they don’t suit me so I don’t wear them.

DO YOU PLAN YOUR WARDROBE AND BUDGET OR ARE YOU AN IMPULSE BUYER? I am a bit of both. That’s probably a lie, I don’t budget. I take what I already own into consideration, but I’m a total sucker for a bargain! My guilty pleasure is buying amazing coats or jackets.
