This week’s featured fashionista is our good friend Jacqueline. She is a 26-year-old journalist and always looks amazing. She is currently in the midst of a major move from Los Angeles to Chicago, so we are very happy she was able to find some time to sit down with us!
- How has your culture influenced your fashion style? Actually, my home environment growing up influenced my fashion more so than my culture, and really more so than anything. My father is an architect. Often he would bring home his drawings and building models, and my siblings and I would often help out at his firm -- so I've absolutely been influenced by his style. I've grown to appreciate a very structured silhouette, how less is more, jazzy angles, and architectural prints.
- Who are your fave style icons? Kerry Washington, Audrey Hepburn, Michelle Obama
- Favorite stores to supply your fashion habit? BCBG, Kate Spade, Michael Kors
- Worst fashion mistake you ever made? I used to cut up and tie-dye my jeans in high school, trying to be creative.
- Favorite asset to accentuate? How? My height/legs by wearing dark on top and then a bright color on bottom -- or I'll often make my pants or skirt the statement piece.
- Which celebrity closet would you love to raid? Beyonce!!!
- Tell us a fun random fashion fact about yourself. My first major fashion experience was when I was in Australia during Melbourne Fashion Week! Being in a new country and experiencing a new culture, I was able to really step out of my comfort zone, and by experiencing a new environment, it helped me to shape, understand, and truly embrace my personal taste.
