What makes your style stand out?

I love using colors to express myself whether it’s a charcoal gray, baby pink, cotton candy blue or a vibrant purple. This colors stand out to me because I use each of them for how I dress. I use charcoal gray for a comfort pink for happiness blue for calm and purple for confidence. I live these colors because of how I live my life. I’ve been mostly using pink so that’s how you know I’m loving my life.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

My dream fashion moment to walk a runway. My favorite designer is Versace. How you can tell Gianni loved women was how he designed clothes specifically for them. I want to wear something that I have confidence in and feel comfortable with.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to pay my tuition left over from KU. The rest of the money I want to give to my parents because they do a lot for me and I want to reward them for that. If I can I would love to buy new clothes so I can look and feel confident.
