“For me, it's really day to day. I don't really plan ahead and I like to be excited about what I'm wearing.

Instead of feeling daunted or discouraged, I feel excited to give whatever it is a try. This takes a lot of editorial wisdom and confidence - to know just how to get the writer to take that extra chance.”
