What are your wearing?
Shirt and shoes are from Forever 21, skirt is from a thrift shop and the bag is from Cotton On.
How would you describe your style?
I would say that my style is ethnic and raw. I like to dress up and then mix it with some casual pieces.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get my inspiration from my aunt. She is a fashionista and has a fashion thing going on in Uganda.
Do you think it's more difficult to dress fashionable when it's this hot outside?
No, this is the best time to look fashionable. You can combine spring and also you can decide to get your old clothes from winter and cut them off for summer. It's just the best time to get creative.
