Q: How did your style start to evolve into what it is now?
A: I went from wear-

Q: How does your
style express who you are?
A: I think about A: I’m a very chaotic
a color scheme or different clothes that I haven’t worn in a while and just see what goes together.
and haphazard person, so most of the time, what I’m wearing doesn’t match and that’s how I feel inside.
