*PERSONAL STYLE*
“My style is extemely diverse! I love mixing rocker chic looks (studs, leather, combat boots, lots of black) with girly pieces. Right now I am obsessed with huge chunky knit sweaters, sequins, silk, and velvet. One thing that makes my style so “me” is that I am not afraid to re-invent things. I take clothes and make them fit my personal style, not just copy what I see out of a magazine.” -Ali
