Neighborhood: Grandview
Hometown: Marietta
Age: 24
Label your style: "Legendary"
Where do you like to shop?
On eBay. It's, like, three clicks and it ends up in your mailbox. You just gotta get lucky with the sizes, I guess. Once you find something, you might buy it in another color. Like, I collect these Members Only jackets, more or less.
How much of your wardrobe would you say is from eBay?
EBay or the thrift store - for non-business [clothes] - probably 80 to 90 percent.
What are some of your favorite eBay finds?
I got a "Yo! MTV Raps" shirt, one that had Notorious B.I.G.'s face on it. I got an American flag tank-top deal, which is pretty funny.
How do you find things?
Literally, things pop into my head - like, That would be cool on a shirt - and I type it in on eBay. And you can really find anything. I typed in "Michael Jackson necklace" and there were thousands of results. I was like, what?
Are you into sneakers?
Just these. Other than these, I wear boat shoes.
How did you get into a style like this?
In college at Ohio University, I lived across the street from a thrift store, New-to-You. I mean, you're going to get a pretty crazy style from using the clothes of townies in Athens - and even just seniors in college being like, "OK, I'm done with this phase."
