quotistFor my own style, I love vintage. 60's and 70's are my favorite. I love baby doll dresses and the soft colors. I try to mix a little bit of modern into that; maybe I'll wear it with boots. At my school we wear a uniform, but we have one day a week we can wear whatever we want. ~Elle Fanning

The question is how to reduce the simplicity that constitutes a problem to the greater simplicity that constitutes a solution. ~Verlyn Klinkenborg
