Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I’m very inspired by the 90s and a lot of my clothes are from that era. I shop in thrift stores and a lot of times I take things from the lost and found. The lost and found at my high school and at the summer camp I work at are particularly good. I like children’s t-shirts. I also take clothes from my mom and my dad.
Q: What are your most prominent fashion influences?
A: P.J. Harvey, the movie Ghost World, Dazed and Confused, Rayanne Graff from My So Called Life. Oh and my mom. Only how my mom used to dress though…
Q: What is your favorite piece of clothing that you own?
A: I think my favorite piece of clothing is this really old t-shirt that I have from my grandpa’s charity softball game. I got this t-shirt from him and it’s from the 60s.
Q: What would someone rarely or never find you wearing?
A: A polo.
Q: If you could live in any decade for fashion, which would it be and why?
A: the 90s! There’s something about it that appeals to me, maybe its nostalgia.
Q: Where are some of your favorite places to shop?
A: lost and founds. There’s also a nice flea market in New York City that’s in a large garage that I go to a lot.
Q: What are you wearing right now?
A: I’m wearing a pair of boots from the Thrifty Parrot in town. Tights. A skirt that I got from a thrift store and two shirts that I also got from a thrift store. I’m also wearing my dad’s hoodie and my grandmother’s earrings and bracelet.

DIY: Detachable Collars

It’s sixth week. You wake up after spending half the night writing a 10 page paper, throw on that drab old grey sweater, and inhale two cups of coffee on your way to morning lab. After squinting through a microscope for four solid hours, you look up and catch your reflection in the window. Two haggard eyes stare back at you, and you wonder what happened to your youthful and joyful spirit. Sleep and a bubble bath flicker through your mind as possible solutions, but you quickly dismiss these ideas realizing you have no time for either. Fear no more, we have the perfect solution. Peter pan collars! With the donning of a single accessory, you can regain the youthful spirit of timeless childhood friends like Eloise and Madeline.
