Style: Eclectic with all the colors
How did being the child of two artists influence your style growing up?
My parents were very open to me and my siblings expressing ourselves in any way. I’m from a small town, and we were the eccentric kids. We all dressed out of the norm. I’ve always been in big colorful outfits and waking up at 5 a.m. to put on my heels. They let us be very enthusiastic in how we dress and how we presented ourselves. It made me more confident in who I am.
Has color always been your thing?
Since I was a baby, I’ve been crazy into rainbows and colors. I had a blanket with rainbows on it, and it was like an extension of me. Even at a young age I remember color-coordinating my clothes in my closet and being so drawn to color.
How do you pick out your outfit for the day?
I love color-blocking, like choosing a bright top with a different color bottom and shoes, but I also love to tie it all together with an earring. I feel like my earrings are what makes everything make sense.
Where do you typically shop?
It’s a mix of everything. I thrift a lot, Amazon, Target, secondhand stores, and honestly just random shops. I am so driven by joy, as soon as something sparks joy it’s what I want. I wait for it to find me.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to bring more boldness to their style?
Just go for it. Anyone can wear anything they want to, but people are just too in their heads and are shy about using bright colors and textures. If you are confident in what you have on, you’ll look good no matter what. That’s going to inspire others to wear what they want, too.
