HC: How would you define your personal style?
HT: For the most part, my style is fairly conservative. I like earth tones like olive, brown, gray, black, and blue. I have a lot of flattering basics in these colors that can go with most outfits. What I usually do, then, is add colorful, cool accessories to give the basics some personality. For example, I might wear a plain, black, scoop-neck t-shirt with jeans and tall boots, but I’ll wear this with a lot of funky rings and bracelets. I always try to wear big earrings, too. I just have an easier time finding affordable funky jewelry than I do patterned “statement” clothes that I like. From time to time I’ll splurge on a pretty shirt or skirt on sale, but most of the time I go to the clearance jewelry at the Lucky Outlet for things that are far less expensive to make my outfits more interesting.
HC: What is your go-to shopping spot?
HT: It depends on what article of clothing I’m looking for. For tops or bottoms, I’ll usually go to H&M, Target, or a Lucky Outlet store if I can find something a little cheaper there. I very rarely buy shoes, but I’d say most of mine come from Target. For jewelry, though, there’s no question: Lucky all the way. Their jewelry is the perfect blend of pretty, funky, and edgy.
HC: Pick your favorite item in your closet.
HT: I have a pair of dark, high-waisted, skinny ankle jeans from Madewell that I got on a post-summer clearance last fall. They just look awesome with everything.
HC: What would you never be caught dead in?
HT: Low rise jeans. I have nothing against other people wearing them, but they’re not for me. I have a really long torso for a girl, so when I put on a pair of low rise jeans, it looks like I’m being cut in half. It’s kind of hilarious, but mostly just terrible.
