Sarah sent me this survey.
Name: Jaynell
Age: 20
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Occupation: Sales person/student/neither.
Body type: Average height, hourglass.
Aesthetic: Shut the fuck up, it's just clothes.
How many times a day do you look in the mirror? Countless, I look at myself on every remotely reflective surface. Can't help it.
Would you mind if you parents still picked out your clothes? I used to hate when Viv shopped for me, but she's gotten a lot better. I wish she would try to dress me up like her, and not what she thinks I want to look like.
Who is your current style icon? I never really follow anyone, there is nobody I agree with 100% stylewise. Sometimes I'll see a cute girl or item and my brain lights up, but other than that, nah.
Describe your personal style: For the most part it's hyper femme, hourglass oriented and either shamelessly sexy or obnoxiously cute. I like to mix dresses with slouchy, boring, and masculine items . I livvvvve in black formfitting dresses. You can wear them so many different ways, all year round. This week I wore the same dress for 2-3 days and my friends had no idea.
What makes your style different from everyone else: I don't wear pants. Very little color unless it's a pattern, no embellishments other than like zippers and a few bows here and there. I used to be into children's clothing and street punk shit, but Forever 21 raped both, the gig is up.
What's the one item that gets the most mileage?: Holy shit, my knee length slouchy beige cardigan. I've been trying to find one to replace it for MONTHS with no luck. It is seriously perfect with every dress I own. Also, I have a total of 10 pairs of opaque black tights.
Your current obsession: I just started getting into wearing heels on the regular. And, denim jackets, I found one that fit perfectly and then went crazy.
What do you do for shoes? Cork soled platforms, leather loafers, black flats.
Your favorite seasonal accessories? Super chunky and functional knitted items in the winter. For the summer, I always make flower wreaths for my hair.
Do you own a lot of jewelry? Nah, I'm not really into it yet. I have a trillion pairs of studs, one bone necklace that I really dig, and everything I lose.
Are there items that you cannot/ would not wear? Shirts with a closed neckline look so, so bad on me. Also, shorts, fuck em.
Styles you wish you could pull off: I'd give an arm to be able to pull of pin up/vintage. It just doesn't work, I'm not pretty enough. Plus you have to COMMIT to that. There's no "oh I'm running to the grocery store, let me throw on some sweats".
