Who are your favorite style icons?
Millicent Rogers was a great icon who was known for her elegant and classic look. Also, my mom is because she has her own individual style. She’s not trendy, but rather eclectic and I think I noticed that while growing up.
Most disliked Vandy trend?
People at Vandy, especially girls, are pretty well dressed everyday. However, for guys, I think critter shorts are a definite “no.”
If your closet was burning and you could only save one item, what would that be?
Probably this belt I’m wearing because it holds significance because both my mother and grandmother gave it to me as a gift.
And lastly, if you had to describe your style in three words, what would they be?
Southwest, eclectic and vintage-inspired.
