VOGUE 73 QUESTIONS: with Maya Catherine
hey hey hey friends! today i want to help YOU get to know ME better (it’s always better to consume content from someone you actually feel like you know). So today, we’re tackling the Vogue 73 Question challenge, with a twist!
The twist is that the first 36 questions are in this blog post, and the final 37 are in today’s video (linked at the bottom of the blog post).

These questions come from Fred&Far.
Let’s get started!

I’d like to say heels, but I think we all know that flats and sneakers are what I live in 95% of the year.

I love shopping second-hand so I would say vintage. But there are a few items that I will not buy second-hand, like undergarments, hats, and gloves.

Probably my family… unless I’m really famous and then Michelle Obama lol.
Style icon?
I would say that I admire these people’s fashions, but don’t really wear the same clothes because my body type just doesn’t rock it like there’s does.
