Style Scout: Karena Mitchell
Name: Karena Mitchell
Age: 19
Relationship status: I have a boyfriend.
Hometown: Lawrence, I guess
Time in Lawrence: Five or six years
Occupation: Barista at the Roost
Dream job: I’m not sure yet — still trying to figure that out.
What were you doing when scouted? Going to get flowers for my mom
Describe your style: A lot of denim, a lot of black
Fashion trends you love: I like the looser jeans that are coming back as well as high-waisted things. I also like the acid-washed look I see people wearing.
Fashion trends you hate: I don’t like it when people wear sweatpants and those giant T-shirts.
Fashion influences: I really like Alexa Chung and ’90s jean commercials like those weird Calvin Klein ads.
What is your favorite thing about Lawrence? I love downtown. It’s a lot of fun and everything is in one spot — I like that. Also, the people are super friendly.
Tattoos or piercings: A nose ring, and I have a tattoo of a goat on my arm. Kinda hard to explain, but it’s a pun on Billy the Kid.
Whom do people say you look like? I get the girl from “The Craft” sometimes, maybe because I’m not the nicest? Who knows.
What’s your spirit animal? Probably a cat because they like to nap and leisure around. That’s a good lifestyle.
Tell us a secret: (sings) “Secrets, secrets are no fun unless they’re shared with everyone.” I have a birthmark that’s shaped like an anvil.
