You have a lot of beautiful clothes! How did you collect your wardrobe?
"I love to mix up everything from high-end designers to thrifted goodies. I love bargains, but I still want to look and feel like a million bucks, even in a $5 dress — so I love to get pieces with great details and quality. At first, I used to buy whatever; but now, it's pieces I am in love with. So, invest in great pieces you can wear over and over — pieces that are timeless. I also shop whenever I travel. I have gotten some great jewelry from street vendors in Sierra Leone."
