How would you describe your style?: I have really interesting personal style and I don't feel like I should be ashamed of that, haha! I'd say my style is Spice Girls+Preppy+Crunchy/Hippie but most of the time I look like I'm trying to fulfill my thirteen year old 90s music video/main character in a rom-com fantasies. I like chokers and rings and headbands and scarves and hats. I like wearing childish things because it upsets people. Sometimes I wear all black. I'm very changeable but fashion is really important to me. I love to mix current trends with my own style, just for fun.
Anything else you'd like to tell us?: I just want to make some new internet friends because I'm getting older and I don't even know who I am anymore. I just want some like-minded people to talk with. I used to be a bartender for years and years but now I'm out of it. Then I was a private English tutor but my company went under. I feel like I've lived a whole different life before now, and I feel like I'm in the process of being reborn. Anyone else?
