The style star confessed that she doesn’t over think her dressing; that she doesn’t pick out clothes a night before but rather goes with the flow in the morning.
Also aside from being in jeans most time, the fashion designer usually uses a focal point, such as a handbag or shoes in getting her entire outfit together. Sometimes, it’s just about how to wear a shirt different today.
