› 01. what’s your muse’s favorite piece of clothing in their wardrobe?
the old hollywood robe — in true vi fashion (pun totally intended), she loves lounging around the dio house in what she calls her widow robe. it’s obnoxious, she’s more than aware and actually embraces it, but there’s something about it that makes her feel absolutely powerful.
› 02. what are your muse’s favorite colors to wear?
mainly softer colors with the occasional darker tone. her color palette definitely goes by season though. the softer, more pastel type tones, are what she usually wears in the summer and spring - light yellow, sky blue, champagne, etc. during the fall and winter, she’ll wear more muted ones - olive green, navy blue, burgandy, etc. she’s not a big fan of wearing black, with the occasional dress or skirt, but mainly sticks with it on her shoe choices having a pair of knee high boots and various types of high heels.
› 03. do they prefer summer clothing or winter clothing?
summer, all the way! she finds winter clothing a lot more restrictive and isn’t a fan of having to keep warm by wearing so many layers. she loves the versatility that summer offers, allowing her to wear as much or as little as she wants. you can easily find her in a bralette and tulle type skirt in the summer, whereas in the winter, she’s more than likely in a long sleeve, mini skirt, and thigh high boots.
› 04. how has their wardrobe evolved over the years?
it’s definitely become very feminine and almost delicate? she loves wearing lace and tulle, also a big fan of corset type tops. she prefers wearing colors that fall on the softer side of the color palette: baby blue, blush pink, beige, mint green, ivory, etc. one very specific and important thing to note is her refusal of wearing jeans/pants. the only time you’ll see her in something other than a skirt or dress is at rehearsals or dance practice, which is usually leggings. you will not find a pair of jeans in her closet. same thing goes with shoes, you’ll always find her in some type of heel if she’s not required to wear tennis shoes - this though, is more to make up for her lack of height. she’s also incorporated a lot more pieces that she’s created as well, so usually, you’ll find her wearing something that she made. while she’s always been extremely feminine, she’s definitely embraced more of it now. her wardrobe now is very much what she dreamed of having when she was younger - it’s like her best attempt at feeling/dressing like a princess without overdoing it? except she’s totally overdoing it. but yeah, i guess short answer to this - she doesn’t wear jeans anymore and owns a lot more lace and tulle crap.
› 05. do they have any style icons or anything else they’re inspired by?
her broke ass really said i love the greats — elie saab, chanel, giambattista valli, dior, alexander mcqueen. basically, anything designer is what she’s inspired by.
› 06. do they like to accessorize? if so, what do they usually wear?
yes, she’s all about accessories! she usually pretty much sticks to jewelry and hair pieces. you’ll always find her wearing some type of earrings, whether it’s hoops or studs, dangling earrings if she’s feeling fancy. mainly all of her jewelry is gold tone with the occasional silver. she wears a lot of dainty things. her favorite piece of jewelry is a gold bracelet with her name she got for christmas one year. it’s easily her most prized possession. you’ll never see her with it off. then, there’s the hair accessories. you’ll almost always find her with something in her hair, no matter how she’s wearing it. headbands, barrettes, bows, etc. she’s usually have some type of headband if she’s wearing it down, a la blair waldorf, but will usually have a bow or ribbon if it’s tied up or a cute clip if it’s in braids or a bun.
› 07. where do they usually shop? specific stores, a specific kind of store (ie. thrift store vs designer), or do they make their own?
a little bit of everywhere? a lot of her pieces have come from twice new vintage since she gets first dibs at clothing when they come in since she has to sort through them. however, most of what she gets from there, she has taken apart to put her own twist on it. she does a lot of online shopping at random shops and will literally fly to new york city with an empty suitcase and spend all of her savings at the garment district. she would love to spend on designer clothes but her wallet says no despite her heart saying yes. so, she’s usually stuck creating a lot of her own pieces by drawing inspo from fashion week or just things she sees in magazines.
