Real people. Real fashion. Real stories.

Rainy Day

With magenta lips and an undeniably English accent, Patricia confesses: "I'm studying journalism, but I'm very interested in fashion. I'd love working on a fashion magazine someday."

Even if she's a couple years away from a fashion journalism career, she sure knows how to dress the part. She's shown here wearing a loose black dress ("It was rainy and I feel black dresses are cool on rainy days") brown leggings, black heels, a Louis Vuitton bag, a gold peace sign necklace, and a bright orange scarf tied to her braid that she got from her mom.

Such careful selection just goes to show how "I try and find my own style and not copy." It takes time, though: "I search in every little store for pieces that I actually like," she says, "not just go to the big ones and wear what everybody wears."

So the next time it's raining, it might be fun pull a Patricia. Instead of blending in with all of the hoodies and rainboots hiding under umbrellas, why not don a little black dress?
