Primark because it’s cheaper and the clothes are not bad quality. I also like Zara and I love Vinted and charity shops for bargains. I also love TK Maxx but you need to be in the mood for it.
Who is your style icon?
Chappell Roan (an American singer and songwriter) and Reneé Rapp (an American singer-songwriter and actress). I’m a member of the LGBTQ+ community so that’s where a lot of my style inspiration comes from.
