“Fashion is a way to display how I feel. It can give me confidence if I’m wearing the right outfit, and it can make me self-conscious when I go to work out. Because I’m a college student, I mostly wear jeans or sweatpants and a T-shirt, but now that I’m an upper-level student, my wardrobe is changing. I’m now dressing more professional, and that scares me. I try to follow trends, but I’m a little tight with money. So I’ll follow trends as much as I will allow myself.”
