Andrea Shepherd: How would you describe your style?
Corinne Weaver: Classic with a preppy vibe. I love timeless pieces like button-ups and riding boots, and I have an unhealthy obsession with pearls. Because I’m in dance clothes a lot, I am always excited for a chance to dress up, especially in classy, vintage silhouettes.
AS: Which celebrity would you say you look up to most when it comes to style?
CW: My all-time style icon is Kate Middleton. She always looks elegant and put together, even when she’s out for a casual event.
AS: What are some of your favorite stores? Why?
CW: When I can splurge, I head to the J. Crew and Tommy Hilfiger outlets, but I usually shop at Gap, J.C. Penney, and Belk. I can get affordable pieces that mix and match over every season, and they last through the years. When I need statement pieces or accessories, I stop by Forever 21 and T.J. Maxx to find inexpensive finishing touches.
AS: What do you look for most when shopping; shoes, accessories, or clothing?
CW: Honestly, I can’t pick just one!
Shoes are such a great way to bring color and fun to an outfit. My favorite finds include pale green and bright purple Keds for $20 each, and a pair of quilted riding boots for $35. I like to add red heels to a suit for an interview, too!
I’m more minimalistic when it comes to accessories, but I like small jewelry and classic purses. You can’t go wrong with pearls, boat totes, nautical print bags, and pashmina scarves. My latest purchase was a pair of big, Audrey Hepburn-inspired black sunglasses. They add a touch of drama to the everyday.
When I go shopping, I keep an eye out for cute chino pants and shorts, patterned button-ups, fit-and-flare dresses, and classic sweaters! I definitely stay out of the Juniors’ section and opt for an older look.
