Maria Veronica Rivas on Fashion

What has been your biggest fashion faux-pas?

I might say, when I was about 12 years old I would wear these baggy pants that my father bought me from one of his trips. They were awful but I just loved them. Never again!

If you could only shop at one store, which would it be?

Too hard to decide, there are several.

If you could change one thing about your closet, what would it be?

I would probably change the spot where I hang by bags, too messy.

Survival of the fittest: What is one item in your closet that you will never get rid of?

Leggings and/or tights! Just love them, very comfortable.

If you were given the opportunity to have a famous designer revamp your entire wardrobe, who would you choose?

Right now, Burberry great Spring/Summer collection.

Name an actor/singer/celebrity whose wardrobe you admire the most.

I wouldn’t choose a specific person. I would say the whole wardrobe from Gossip Girl.

What are your best and worst fashion purchases?

Worst: Jeans, I will buy a pair of jeans that I really like at the store and then hang them on my closet and never wear them. Best: Shoes, I love shoes.

If you had to describe your personal style in one word, what would it be?

Trendy.

If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?

40’s and 50’s, good era.

If we could take a peek into your personal closet, what would we find?

A little bit of everything.
