LIVING IN STYLE

Allura Livingston shares where she gets inspiration for her unique sense of style

With her rare style and taking bold moves, like wearing denim on denim, Allura Livingston is able to set herself apart from others through the way she dresses. She describes her style as 90’s grunge.

Many people like to follow the trends and keep up with the latest styles, but it’s those who think out of the box and create their own original style that really stand out. People like this are hard to find, but Livingston’s unique clothing causes her to stand out.

“I wear what I like to wear,” Livingston said.

Creating your own style can be difficult, which is why many people turn to fashion inspirations and add their own twist to create an individual look. These inspirations can come from anywhere ranging from a certain celebrity to a specific era of fashion, allowing a person to take those styles and do whatever they want with them.

Livingston’s finds inspiration in her grandmas style and even wears some of her clothes.

“I love the eras before I was born,” Livingston said.

Having a unique style comes with the task of getting clothes from places that not a lot of people shop at and getting clothes that are one of a kind. This can be hard to find in such a small town, however, Allura is able to keep up her look by turning to resources that most people don’t think about.

“My grandma number one, a lot of thrift stores, and then like stuff you can’t find there basically, like Doc Martens, I just order those online. I’m not a huge shopper,” Livingston said.

By getting her clothes in these places Livingston is able to find noteworthy pieces that others wouldn’t be able to replicate.

Livingston knows all about standing out among the crowd with her creative style and her bold red hair color, and she is all about keeping true to yourself when it comes to clothing.

“I feel like I don’t dress like everybody in the hall, I’m not gonna have the same shirt as someone walking through the hall,” Livingston said.

Having a distinctive sense of style can really set a person apart but it also comes with many mixed reactions from those observing.

When people see something that is a little different their reactions can be positive or negative. Livingston expresses how she feels people react to her clothing choices.

“Sometimes, I feel like people look at me funny or like say ‘What are you wearing?’” Livingston said.

Even though some of the reactions may be negative,Livingston keeps true to herself and carries herself with confidence.

“If I like it, I like it. I’m gonna wear it,” Livingston said.
