favorite thrift find? My trusty pair of low-rise, flare-legged pants with a super cute pattern. They’re perfect because they can be dressed up or dressed down to match so many occasions. I found them at a market about a year ago.
who or what is inspiring your fashion sense at the moment? My Pinterest board! I always save the cutest outfits so I can try to recreate them / draw inspiration from them later.
I’ve tried to stay away from watching online fashion content for as long as I could. I like to think that it keeps me grounded, and that because of my diligence, I’d never end up making an impulse purchase I’d regret. However, my streak broke this June.
Supreme jackets. Nike Dunks. Stüssy tees. Kid Super sneakers. Bikini tops. Vetemants hoodies. Yankee Hats. Camo prints. Baggy pants. Gold Hoops. Endless layers. Through the art of dance, I met fashion.

My favorite sweatshirt in my closet is one I found on top of a pile of dirty and broken miscellaneous items on the side of the road. One man's trash really was my treasure. I picked up the green piece, admiring the dog sled crew running across the chest, on a Sunday. A few more hours and it would've been the end of the road for those puppies—trash day in Berkeley is Monday.
