HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? I would describe it as bright, colorful and cheerful. I feel that darker colors can bring a feeling of sadness or depression. I like to think that by wearing bright colors, I can cheer others up, including myself.
WHO OR WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR STYLE THE MOST? There’s this older man who goes to my gym who wears neon yellow everything. He’s around 80 years old and he just walks all over town, being himself. He inspires me to act more like him. Unlike the other senior citizens, he chooses to dress the way he wants to, not how society tells him to dress.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIECE THAT YOU’RE WEARING? My orange Neff hat. I’ve always worn a hat and I feel like it’s a part of me. My mother bought it for me 4 years ago. I’m a Momma’s boy, no doubt about it. The hat is a part of my character, which I would describe as cheerful and caring. I enjoy cheering people up and helping people when they’re in a less than ideal situation, whether it be through some form of interaction or from them cracking a smile when they see me walking down the street.
