“My fashion philosophy is about having fun, being subversive, and maintaining key points of interest within my outfits. Each of my three everyday staples fits perfectly into this mantra and communicates a piece of who I am to the world before I utter a single word. My go-to handbag is a red ostrich leather bowler I acquired at a vintage warehouse in upstate New York back in 2024. Since then, it’s become such a favorite that I genuinely have to remind myself I own other bags that deserve love. The texture feels a little freaky and slightly unnerving, which aligns perfectly with the kinds of accessories I gravitate toward.
As a lifelong glasses-wearer, I’m deeply aware that while my frames first and foremost serve a function, they also, by default, are a tenet of my everyday style. And because I wear them constantly, I need them to feel like me. These Polette glasses do just that — they’re fun, loud, and incredibly chic. Meanwhile, the tulle skirt below is my version of a basic. While the neutral color means it pairs with virtually anything, the voluminous silhouette and subtle polka dots give it a distinct element of whimsy.”
