FASHION: Senior Delaney Grimes
May 8, 2017
What are some essentials in your closet?
I’m a serious fan of overalls. I have a full jean jumpsuit that I love. Most of my clothes are based off of thrift stores I haven’t bought real clothes in a very long time but I buy white clothes from thrift stores and tye dye them and wear them under overalls which is also very go-to. I also love high waisted jeans. Also huge shoutout to the corduroy industry I absolutely love cords.
Do you consider yourself a trendy person?
I’ve been wearing overalls since I was five and I still wear them so I don’t know if trendy is the right word. I like my own style and I guess that’s just how I dress every morning it’s what makes me feel good and how I wanna dress is how I’m gonna feel that day.
What is it about fashion and your clothes you like so much?
I started to get really empowered by the clothes I was wearing and people being like “Hey like I love that” I love that like the community of someone coming up to you and commenting on your outfit. Really when you get into fashion it’s like a community of people and you meet more people through that and you realize that your friends really want to dress like that and be like that and get into the thrifting.
What else inspires your outfits besides just the weather?
I actually started watching friends two years ago and Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston are both huge inspirations for me I love the as people and actresses in other shows but really their high waisted jeans and looking really trendy. More of ’90’s look is really where that came from and all those old movies I love everything about them I wish we could do the big hair but that is just not in.
Are there any trends in modern fashion that you can just not stand or that does not work for you?
I don’t do chokers, for some reason I just can’t do them so probably choker and then make up. I don’t wear any makeup that’s like a huge thing into my all natural thing. I’m not really into heavy clothes or heavy jewelry. I mean I wear my rings everyday but like I’m pretty simple with my accessories. My clothes are really where I express myself
So you don’t focus on your hair or on your makeup? That’s not like a big part of your style?
I don’t focus on my hair I try to express myself as much as i can without doing too much. I have a set time to wake up 6:30 in the morning. I haven’t worn makeup since like 8th grade. Sometimes I’ll do like french braids but I’m not really big on curling my hair. I love it on everyone else I wish I could i had the motivation to do that everyday and I could wear make up and I don’t do my eyebrows either, I don’t know how. My big sister was never into that kind of stuff either she was a tomboy. I’m more expressive my clothes but she was more natural, simplistic I think that’s where I get it from.
How would you describe your style in a phrase of a few words?
I would say… I’m more old fashion like ’80’s/’90’s if i could some it up like the whole era. Movies music anything that could some it up that really where my motivation come from. Vintage is it. I guess childish, like innocent maybe.
