Girly. I just pick things I like.

Where do you like to shop?
It’s very varied. I do prefer to go to the shops so I can try outfits on. When it comes to online shopping, I would shop at ASOS.

Claire Philpott, 35, originally from Ayrshire but lives in Aberdeen
What do you do for a living?
I’m an accountant.

My cardigan is from Massimo Dutti, my trousers are from Next (they’re about 10 years old and are my oldest pair of trousers), my wedges are from Zara, my handbag is from Louis Vuitton and my earrings are from Dior.
How would you describe your style?
I would say plain/classic as I’m not into patterns. But I’m very influenced by what I see on Instagram.
Where do you like to shop?
I don’t spend too much money on clothes but I like to invest in accessories as they can elevate your outfits. I’ve actually got a Chanel handbag I bought years ago for £1500 which is now worth £8,000. If I’m buying clothes then I would tend to look at Net-a-Porter, Massimo Dutti, Zara and Cos.
Who is your style icon?
Kate Middleton – her style is unreal. I also like Chloe Rose, an Instagram influencer and I also like the Instagram accounts @wearetwinset and @watthebrand.

Oh I’m not sure. I enjoy fashion so I usually wear dresses during the day and dress up if I’m going out somewhere.
Where do you like to shop?
I love Wallis, New Look, M&S and Debenhams online. It’s a shame that we lost our Debenhams in Aberdeen. I also love Tiger Lily Boutique in Aberdeen. That’s where I get a lot of my dresses.
