If I hadn't met my boyfriend I'd probably still be stuck in the 'simple basics' rut, a classic, grown-up, but utterly un-adventurous type of style. He introduced me to designers I now love, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, Yohji Yamamoto and tons of others. He's also really surprisingly good at finding things that look completely un-wearable on a hanger and then suggesting I try it on, only to find out it's actually an amazing piece I wouldn't have even looked twice at.
However we both sort of constantly have to stop each other from spending money on clothes, especially now when I'm saving up for college/a trip. It's torture...!
