Hey, Hey, Friends! Fashionable Monday
continues with the artistic and incredibly kind, Ally Armato. Ally’s creative
ensembles express her genuine sweet nature and an innate gift for style. I rely
on her fashion advice when choosing outfits for events and trips and am truly
delighted to spotlight this fashion forward darling.

*What three words define your personal style?
Creative
Ever-changing
Comfortable
*Who (or what?!) is your fashion inspiration?
I have many fashion inspirations. If I had to pick just one, I would
have to say Lucille Ball. I love her fun and flattering clothing. She was
always so elegant but fun (especially the hair!)
*What’s your go-to fashion accessory, or outfit?
My favorite go-to accessory would be belts. They add style and
interest to almost anything and flatter your body by synching in your waist
(always good!) My favorite outfit would be a sundress paired with cute wedges
and a sunhat. Perfect for a day at the beach.
*What’s your favorite local boutique or store? Why?
I have been really into Altr’d State lately. I like their
bohemian/vintage style. I think it is definitely my style.
*If you could travel back in time, which era would you pick for its
fashion? Why?
I would be interested to go back in time to the 1940’s. This era was
so beautiful. Women like Joan Crawford and Doris Day were who people really
looked up to for their tailored and elegant looks. These women were pretty much
superpowers because of their clothing! Also, this is when Christian Dior
revolutionized clothing for women. It would have been amazing to experience
that.
*Flashback: What’s your most loved accessory or outfit from
childhood/adolescence and why?
Well, definitely my pink Cinderella dress (complete with a tutu). I
wore that dress everywhere. If I had to pick a backup, my Esmerelda dress
complete with coin tassels! These dresses made me feel like I could do anything
I want, and for a 6-year-old girl, that feeling can go to your head! I was the
most comfortable in these and felt connected to them.
*Please share a fashion tip or style advice!
Always have fun with your clothing. Don’t take yourself too seriously
because fashion is all about having fun and expressing who you are. Don’t
follow trends too much and really develop your own unique style. Most important
let yourself shine as much as you can!
