How often do you shop?
I shop about once or twice a week.
Is fashion a big part of who you are?
Yes it is a big part of who I am. I love shopping. I also work in retail. I work at aerie in the mall. I love selling clothes, and getting discounts is a bonus. I also want to go into fashion buying when I get older.
What do you look for in an outfit?
I don’t have a particular thing I am looking for in an outfit. Everyone has different tastes, and that’s one of the biggest things in fashion. I love the colored and lace shirts though.
What are some of your favorite stores?
Aerie, of course. American Eagle. Forever 21, Gilly Hicks, TJ Maxx.
Who are your favorite designers?
I don’t have a specific favorite designer. I love them all!
What do you first look for when you walk into a store?
It really depends on the day and the season. My favorite thing to shop for is shirts. I don’t know why, but I have so many shirts and I love it.
Do you have any shopping tips?
I would say if you are looking for the latest trends check out the mannequins in the store. Also ask the associates what they like. Another tip I have is if something looks even just okay to you, try it on because some things look better on than you think.
Is working in fashion part of your future plans?
Yes it is. I want to go to college for it and work in fashion buying.
Why is fashion significant to you?
Because it is a big part of who I am. I love shopping. Ilove helping others shop. I work in retail and want to become a fashion designer. Without fashion I would be a whole different person.
