my personal representation

I would say that the representation of myself is very similar to many other girls in my year, I'm fairly stereotypical when it comes to clothing, style and personality, because of this I think it wold be fairly obvious to a person looking at me to be able to guess my age. My favourite shops are Topshop and Zara so my style would probably be best described as casual smart, I usually wear jeans and a lacey top.

My interests are art and textiles, so I could be seen as fairly boring but its purely an interest I take in my spare time.
I am not an 'out there' person, I keep myself to myself but I definitely wouldn't class myself as being shy. From looking at the way I dress and my language I think I would probably look middle class, I often wear clothes that are vintage or handmade which again gives off my artsy side.


I could be represented as someone who likes to stay indoors, I dont wear sporty looking clothing or actively participate in any kind of outdoor sports however I love being outside on picnics walks or whatever else.
