Style Interview: Margaret

My name is Margaret Chalom. I am 13 years old and i’m from Massachusetts. I really like drawing, movies, music, and fashion.

What would you call your style?

My style changes all the time, but I like to refer to my style as BBE. That stands for bad bitch energy (bad bleep energy if i’m not allowed to swear). This means that i like to wear clothes that make me feel confident and beautiful. I think my style is sorta trendy but also unique, because there’s a lot of different styles within what I like to wear.

What is the biggest influence on what you wear?

My biggest influence is probably social media. I see cute outfits on Pinterest, Instagram, and tik tok. growing up with social media has not only taught me more about fashion, but has also exposed me to different kinds of fashion styles. i don’t have any specific people that influence me, but from time to time I’ll see someone like Kendall Jenner wear something cute, and then spend hours looking for what she’s wearing, only to find that it’s $500.

What is one accessory you can't live without?

One accessory I can’t live without is earrings. I love them. I got my ears pierced in 6th grade, and a lot of my friends had their ears pierced before me. So some of my early childhood was spent longing for holes in my ears. but I really make up for the time that I didn’t have my ears pierced. I’m a hoarder, so I try to get my hands on as many earrings as possible. I don’t have that many yet, but I really love them and I think they add spice to any outfit.

If you could switch bodies with any celebrity who would it be and why?

If I could switch bodies with any celebrity, it would be Gigi Hadid. I think she’s so beautiful and I could finally get to experience having my ideal body. Plus she’s super tall and i’m not, so I could get to be tall for a day. I’ve seen some of her outfits and she has a great sense of style, so i wanna raid her wardrobe.

Where are your favorite places to shop?

My two favorite stores are definitely Hollister and American eagle. I have emotional connections with those places. I sometimes get emotionally attached to clothes, and i’ve gotten emotionally attached to some stuff at Hollister. American eagle has a special place in my heart because it was the store where I got my first crop top, and their clothes made me feel confident in my style for the first time.

What artists/songs are you currently listening to?

I've been really into 90’s/early 2000’s pop music for the past few months. I'm practically obsessed with the backstreet boys, but I also really like nsync, Britney Spears, and the spice girls.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would you live?

If I could live anywhere, I would live in Paris. I’ve always wanted to go since I was a little girl. I love everything about Paris. the food, the clothing, the places to go, all of it. I’m also learning french, so it would be helpful to go there and practice.

If you could change the world what would do?

If I could change the world in one way, I would end poverty. Money may not grow on trees, but it can go to the wrong people sometimes. A lot of people don’t have the money to eat or to buy a house, and I think those people deserve money.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I hope that I'm either in a good film school, in hollywood, or on the cover of vogue magazine. But more importantly, I hope that I’m happy and confident, and I’m able to love myself more.
