Loren Davis and Raven Green were shopping along Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park.
Have you been friends for a while? Do you always dress “in sync”?
Loren: Yes, we have been friends for about six years. Heck no, we never dress in sync on purpose! That’s cheesy!
Raven: No, we don’t always dress in sync. Although I would say our style is somewhat similar.
What do you love most about your friend’s outfit?
Loren: I really like how Rave mixed the camo and leopard print; amazing combo!
Raven: I love how it can easily transition from simple to stylish.
What do you love the most about your own outfit?
Loren: Considering this was a long day of shopping in the freezing cold, I love that this was a very comfy and warm fit. Plus these are my favorite boots.
Raven: I love how easy it is. It’s important for me to be both comfortable and cute.
If you could steal anyone’s style, whose would it be?
Loren: I normally dress based on my mood, so I can’t choose just one person. My favorite style icons are Solange, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie and the Olsen twins.
Raven: Tracee Ellis Ross.
