What does "fashion" mean to you?
"Fashion has two different meanings to me. As a design student it means becoming inspired by something and translating that into something both wearable and artistic. As a person fashion is choosing how to express yourself for any given day."
"I would wear this first outfit around town in the summer. I love the emerald color of the dress with the cheetah print shoes. It could be worn for going thrifting or going to a show."

How would you describe your style?
"My style subtly changes a lot but it usually hovers around 80’s/90’s teen style and hipster dress. Right now I love chunky sweaters with jeans or leggings and Dr Martens, with some geometric earrings thrown in for good measure. I like darker, more gothic colors paired with grungy styles with a pop of ruby or emerald to keep it interesting."
Who are your style icons? What inspires your style?
"I love taking inspiration from history. I love the glitz and art deco of the twenties, but also the bright florals of the eighties. My style influence is pretty broad, and I’m inspired by a lot of different things. "
"This is definitely more of a night dress. I could wear this to a party or a night out. The floral print is so fab, and the peplum keeps it on trend."

How has your idea of fashion changed since working at Plato's Closet?
"I think Plato’s has allowed me to not only widen my idea of what is fashionable, but also hone in on my personal style. Working around clothes, I get to see the new trends as they’re happening but also try on something I may not have before. Also, everyone has pretty diverse styles so you get a lot of different opinions."
Where are your favorite places to shop (besides Plato's)?
"I do tend to shop mostly at Plato’s but when I’m not here, I love H&M, F21, T.J. Maxx, Cactus Flower, Charlotte Russe. As a student I have limited funds, so I like to keep shopping cheap and trendy."
"This third outfit is something I would wear to school and work. It’s casual and comfortable, but still very me with the sweater and glittery shoes. This can work in any season with a slight shift of the accessories."

H&M Sweater: $10 (retail: $18)
