Missy PasqualeJunior fashion merchandising “I wanted to wear this bright yellow shirt because it was springy; however, it’s still cold out so I wore a wintery scarf to tone down the spring. I really like the accessory trend that’s going on with tons of rings and overloaded jewelry, so that’s why I loaded up on rings. I wore my peacock earrings because I like the peacock trend that’s going on, and it tied all of the colors together.” Quevedo: “This is fashionable. She’s got the layers going on, and I like the multiple wraps… She could probably lose the sweater because what’s happened is that you lose her shape. It’s too many layers, even though layering is good.”
