Friday Fashion Forward Fashionista is Back! A new winner takes the crown. I took a few moments to get a little Q&A in with the winner @IvoryJinelle. Take a moment and check out our interview:
What
is your name?
-Ivory Jinelle
In
what state do you reside?
-California
What
size are you in tops/bottoms?
-Tops: 14/16, Bottoms: 18
What
two words would you use to describe your Style?
-Eclectic with a vintage
twist
What
are your favorite fashion essentials?
-A great pair of heels, a
pop of color and tons of rings.
Which
places are your favorites to shop?
-Asos, the thrift
store/flea markets, Ebay and indie boutiques/designers.
At
which point in time, was the moment you fell in love with fashion?
-I believe I fell in love
with fashion my senior year of high school. I began exploring thrift stores and
magazines for inspiration and creating outfits from there.
Were
you always confident with your style? If not what made you gain confidence?
-I was always a pretty
confident person and I believe my style showcases that. I wear things that I
love, which makes having confidence so easy.
Who do
you draw your style inspiration from?
- Editorials in
magazines, fashion geared Tumblr pages, blogs/bloggers and street style.
Do you
believe that accessories can make or break an outfit? Why/Why not?
-Of course accessories make
or break an outfit. A funky gold belt, chain necklace and some great peep toe
booty could totally change a plain dress.
If you
could give any celebrity your wardrobe, who would it be and why?
- If I could give a
celebrity my wardrobe, it would be Mariah Carey. Something is always off...and
she seems to love spandex.
If you
could design your own staple piece, what would it be and why?
-If I could design a staple
piece, it would be a perfect fitting jumpsuit. I love jumpsuits and believe
everyone should have at least one in their closet. Find one that works for your
shape or makes you feel great. I don't believe in telling folks what not to
wear; nor do I subscribe to the notion of "flattering". I hear a lot
of plus women complain about jumpsuits because they believe you have to have a
certain body type to wear one and I don't believe that. As always, wear what
you love and what makes you happy :-)
I know we are all interested in finding out how we can keep up
with you, where can we check you out?
