The way I dress makes me feel better and that makes [me have] a good day. My sense of style is not “cat-walk,” it [is just what] feels good to me.

 

I think they notice just that I’m tall with heels. When I dress up I hope people notice, but when I feel as if I haven’t then I hope people don’t notice.

 

They say I look good and because I’m skinny everything looks good on me.

 

Shoes. All my shoes are heels… just heels.

 

I like whites and reds together. Everyday I wear [at least] one thing that is white. I love running. I have a few articles of spandex that I wear with booty shorts and a cute top that are white with red.

 

My sister [is my role model because] she has a good sense of style. I steal her clothes because she knows where to get good stuff.

 

I have some African clothes but [there hasn’t been] the right place [to wear them]. [If I were to wear them] it would be like “look at me!” look at me!” I want to look good and fit in.

 

Uh huh. Not everyone dresses up and many people wear track suits to class.
