Happy Sunday! Today, we have another great "Love Her Style Sunday" feature. Everyone, please welcome Nerissa Von Helpenstill.
1. How do you define fashion?
Fashion is taking in all of the various trends and inspirations and filtering them to find what works for you. Trends come and go, fashion is always looking your best and being true to your own style and body type.
2. What is your style?
My look changes daily; from high fashion to laid back looks I always begin with a statement piece to craft each outfit around. One day my look is built around a pulled together Herve Leger pencil skirt and the next my slouchy Rag and Bone sweatpants are the focal point. I mix it up but always stay true to key pieces that define my style.
3. Who is your favorite designer?
I admire Alexander McQueen's runway genius, however my closet is currently stocked with fun things like Clover Canyon dresses and Elle Sasson skirts.
4. If there is one staple fashion piece everyone must have..what is it?
A little white dress. In our climate nothing freshens up a warm weather look like a crisp white dress. Find one that suits your style whether it is sweet, edgy or classic and you will be the coolest girl in the room wherever you go.
5. Describe your favorite fashion piece. (wrap dress, etc.)
Right now, I am having a jumpsuit moment. There are so many jumpsuit options this spring from sporty and casual to full on glam.
6. What is a big fashion do this Spring?
Longer hemlines are an absolute do! Whether it's a pencil skirt that hits just below the knee or a calf length a-line dress, the lower hemlines are at once fresh and sophisticated.
7. We know age shouldn't define your style, but what is your advice for someone trying to find their inner fashionista?
Wear what makes you feel happy and confident. If you aren't wearing your clothes with confidence, then they are wearing you.
8. If you could be anyone in the world, who would it be?
I love Lucky Magazine's new editor, Eva Chen. She looks like she is having such fun doing her job each day! The truth is, Fashion IS fun! I am so lucky to be doing what I love at Tootsies. We have so much fun each day helping our customers find the perfect outfit to make them feel gorgeous and confident.
