00:06I'm Mary Randolph Carter and everyone calls me Carter. I work in the fashion
00:11world and I'm also a writer. My name is Bea Walker. I'm a photographer and for me
00:17perfect style is imperfect. Personal. Unique. Individual. Timeless. Fun. Tailored.
00:23Romantic. Is fashion important to you? I really appreciate fashion. I love just
00:29the expression of it but I also know that it's not the most important thing in
00:34the world obviously so it's you know relative. I agree with you it's important
00:38to me because it's been part of my life but I think it's not about fashion it's
00:44about style. I don't know that perfect style exists but I don't think that
00:48anyone's looking for perfect I think we're all looking for ourselves. For me
00:53when I wear my tails and my black skinny pants I feel like I'm strutting my stuff.
00:59Yeah outfits can definitely change the way you feel. One of my most confident
01:03outfits is a long black tunic a crisp white collared shirt and some great
01:08black boots. Very just black and white very minimal I feel like myself I feel
01:13confident I feel great. Do you ever wear color? I rarely wear color I'm such a
01:16black and white girl honestly I do have a pair of yellow pumas that I love a little
01:21bit of color from time to time I really really like. I never was really into color
01:25and then I got these orange cargo pants and people would say wow I love you in
01:29color. When you wake up in the morning how do you decide what to wear? Usually
01:35depends on what I'm gonna do that day even though my wardrobe is really minimal
01:38it's all very versatile. Versatility is so important to me I don't buy many things
01:42in my closets very pared down so everything I buy needs to be able to work in
01:47multiple situations. My red poncho is my favorite timeless piece it's versatile
01:53I'll wear it during the day like throw it over jeans but at night I'll take it
01:58and throw it over black tie or tuxedo. Yeah it's awesome like you make the piece
02:04versatile you know like you're the one who makes it all work with everything
02:07else. You know I think that I was always piling on and layering different
02:13patterns, vintage things. Where do you find these great things? Well you know I'm
02:17a hunter and a forager very often I'll go online I'll find them on eBay. I found
02:22some of my favorite pieces that way as well I have this ivory jacket it's got a
02:28sheer panel on the back that's a really lovely piece. It's just amazing it's all
02:33there. Yeah I love your style I feel like all the outfits you wore today were so you
02:38I feel like I'm just sort of starting out in finding my style I know what I like I
02:44know how I feel comfortable and now I'm just building those pieces. You know
02:48style evolves and you need to build it. You know when people appreciate your
02:54style but it has to start with you. I agree definitely it comes from inside.
