"It's all about the little things that make fashion pop. It's a certain balance of 'minimal,' such as polka dot socks or a patterned scarf that can make an outfit pop. Colors, too, are very important though I wear a lot of black. It's my go-to color. Black looks nice on everybody, and though I'll always wear black, I've decided to switch to brown lately because of the weather. Black is overkill. I have a new thing I'm doing with fashion -- I'm going to wear something different every day for 30 days. It may be a small change from one day to the next because, as a college student, I don't have a big wardrobe. I'll mix and match what I do have. It's fun."
