What does style mean to you?
In my opinion, style reflects the person that you are. Style is a way to express your attitude, your personality, and your preferences. When I look at an individual, I know a little bit more about them simply by observing their style. Personally, style is an opportunity for me to tell others about myself, but also for me to feel comfortable and free when I am engaging socially. Last month I attended a conference and wore a beautiful white blouse with black giraffe prints. That was my way of saying I am elegant, and fun, and I love animals. I felt comfortable in my skin because I was staying true to myself.
How would you describe your style?
Natural. When it comes to style, I believe less is more and there is no better feeling than owning your own features. So, finding styles that encompass simplicity and value the people and resources it works with, is important to me. Working from home doesn’t always give me the ability to share my style with others. So, at home, my style is a combination of loungewear and funky patterns and colors that uplift me in what can often feel like a lonely workspace.
What are you most thankful for right now?
This season, I am thankful to Food Rescue US, for giving me the opportunity to have a role in contributing to a healthier world by keeping edible food out of the waste stream, and instead putting it into the hands of our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. The Fairfield County community helps us strive towards reaching these climate forward and food security goals. Luckily, I do not have to do too much to go out and do what I love! That remains true to my style.
