stop and she always instilled in us like you have to be well-dressed you have to be well mannerable you have to be poised and well put together like don't walk outside looking crazy make sure your hair is combed don't have a bonnet on so she always like made sure that we were super well dressed and

Even though when I look back, I know she couldn't afford some of the clothes that she was buying us. She would put stuff on so we can have the best type of material and outfits when we would start school. So that was just impressionable to me at a young age. So becoming an adult, I've always loved to dress up. I love to dress up and I love to look nice. Thank you. And so do you. Thank you.

So it's just an extension of just really who I am. So people may look at it as a personal brand, but it's really me. Like I am such a girly girl. Like you will probably always see me in like a skirt or a dress. I wore jeans one time and like people looked at me like I had three faces because they're like, I've never seen you with jeans on. But I'm just like a girly girl. So I love dressing up.
