December’s Valley IT Girl- Lauren Parisi
Q: What are your favorite stores/ where do you buy most of your clothes?
A: “My favorite stores are Forever 21, Jolyn, Charlotte Russe, and Garage.”
Q: Celebrity inspiration–what celebrities style is your favorite?
A: “Probably Rihanna; I love everything she wears because she can go from something really tight and really sexy to something really flowy. Also, she wears a lot of suits. I love that. Also, she can have any hair color and look good.”
Q: Does anyone else in your life influence your style? Family members? Friends?
A: “My mom and I have a very similar taste in clothes, which helps. My style is very individual because I always wanted to be different from my sisters and between the three of us, we have very different styles.”
Q: If you could describe your style in one word/phrase what would it be?
A: “Trendy and comfortable.”
Q: What are some of your favorite activities and what do you do for fun?
A: “I swim all the time, but outside of the pool I take dance class and I like to sew. I have a sewing machine at home. I like to hangout with my friends and people from my swim team.”
Q: Do you have any ideas of what you want to do as a career? If so what?
A: “I want to work in the fashion industry, specifically in product development, where I can work closely with designers.”
Q: What is your favorite magazine or do you visit any style websites regularly?
A: “I don’t read any magazines, but I like this youtube channel called Lilith Moon. She’s does all these hair styles, so I’ve been watching her videos forever. She does mostly hair videos and some makeup and some clothing. Besides fashion, I like to do hair.”
Q: What is your favorite article of clothing? Why?
A: “Shoes; Shoes can determine if an outfit is casual or fancy and I feel like shoes always make an outfit depending if you have to walk around a lot or if you’re dancing or just sitting. Shoes are always an important part of an outfit because it depends on the activity that is going on.”
Q: What is your favorite season to dress for?
A: “This is a really hard question. I like the winter because I like sweaters, scarves and boots, but I also like the summer because summer fashion has been so flowy and relaxed and I love that kind of bohemian style. You can wear sandals and bathing suits- I love bathing suits.”
Q: What are some of the colors that you usually look for when purchasing your clothes? Do you wear more neutrals, colorful pieces, or a mix of both?
A: “Recently, I have been really into light pink. I am wearing it now. I like to look for clothes with some sort of color besides black. I have a lot of black, but I try to stay away from it because it can be very overpowering.”
