“I like to people watch when I’m sitting in a cab for style inspiration. The other day I saw this girl wearing a really simple cardigan and skirt, and I thought ‘that looks great’! No frills - just a good, basic outfit. When I got home, I tried to recreate the look and wore it the next day. Sometimes less is more.”
