How would you describe your style?
Comfortable but fashion forward. Usually I am drawn towards tops and sweaters that are oversized. I tend to never really go towards anything tight. I am drawn towards clothes that will make me feel confident, so that typically includes things that are simple, but will make a statement.
Where do you shop for most of your clothing?
I love the hunt for clothes that people don’t have. I tend to find myself shopping at places like Buffalo Exchange or Recycled Clothing in downtown Portland. You never know what you’re going to find! Also on NW 23rd there are a lot of fun, unique boutiques. My online addictions include, Nordstrom, ASOS, TopShop, and Free People.
What is your go to outfit?
My go to outfit would likely be my pair of black ripped jeans that are the most comfortable pair I own, my most comfortable pair of black leather booties, and my crème turtleneck, oversized TopShop sweater.
What is your favorite current fall trend?
Fall is my absolute favorite because it means I get away with wearing all of my favorite colors including: grey, white, black, and even auburns and yellow/browns. One of my favorite fall trends this year would be jean and suede skirts. Also my absolute favorite is plaid; you see it everywhere. Plaid dresses, skirts, coats and sweaters: I’m addicted.
Who or what inspires your style choices?
I’m always on Pinterest, and I follow a lot of models and boutiques that I stumble upon on Instagram. That always gives me ideas and inspiration for things to look out for my next shopping trip.
