Q: Where does your fashion inspiration derive from?
A: Well, I have to say I love vintage. I read fashion blogs and I notice there is a different aesthetic in the regular use of clothing. Reading them helps me decide what to look for in a thrift store. Right now, I am looking for "springy things".
Oh! And I am really into looking to Steve Allen for inspiration.

Justine did fabulous job of keeping things cheery and effervescent. I love the fact that upon observing her outfit, I can't readily decide if she looks ready for school or ready to run in the flowers! The yellow is just so honeycomb yellow that it's practically spring in a jacket! Her dress is black, a typically less frivolous color, but the embellishments on it make it super sweet and super cute. The bag and the glasses are so studious and seem serious when taken away from the rest of the outfit. However, both the bag and glasses make the outfit solid with their academic feel.
