How do you choose your outfit every day? Every Sunday I look at the upcoming week as a whole. I don’t want to repeat types of looks, so if I’m wearing a pencil skirt on one day, I’m not going to wear one the next day. 

What’s your favorite pair of heels? I really like these light blue suede heels, but I just got these new pink patent leather heels and I like those a lot.

What’s your best advice for students? You should find what makes you happy and do that.
