Over the next few weeks, we'll be introducing you to our awesome fashion contributors. This particular group of girls runs the gamut fashion-wise, from bohemian to rock 'n' roll to high-end and everything in between! We are always inspired by the looks they seem to throw together effortlessly. Meet Kayla! Name: Kayla Moon Location: Seoul, South Korea Occupation: Student How would you describe your style? I literally could not think of a word or phrase to describe my style. SO I took an online fashion quiz and the results stated that I have a "whimsical/ chic style." They explained that this style is playful and appears to be “thrown together” but is actually a thoughtful combination of colors and patterns. If you’re whimsical, your look is eclectic, ethereal and romantic. Word. Who or what influences your style? My mom has always influenced my style. She is really funky and loves to accessorize whether it be with hair, makeup, jewelry, nails, etc. I definitely get it from her.

Our culture is obsessed with shopping to the extent that retail clothing stores in the United States take in more than $150 billion annually. Consumers like myself enjoy indulging themselves in the “necessary evil” of shopping, especially if it entails finding a great deal, like a $7 top at H&M or $15 jeans at Forever 21. But is it possible that we are letting retailers manipulate our spending? More importantly, are we on the winning or losing end as the purchasers of cheap clothing? In 2013, I earned a bachelor’s degree in fashion merchandising on top of several years of experience with reputable retailers. I gained a new perspective on the consumer-retailer relationship and want to share that knowledge now to help others. My mission is to make you think twice about both the product and the company when you are shopping because, at the end of the day, my heart lies with people and not products. One of the most empowering tools a consumer holds is his or her ability to identify timeless pieces that are worth investing in. |
