" Have you ever had a girlfriend whose taste is so unlike your own, but you still gush eight compliments before even saying &amp;quot;hi&amp;quot; each time you see her? I do. And, I happen to have the privilege of working with her every day! The Angela Chase to my Rayanne Graff, the Cher to my Tai, the Brenda Walsh to my Kelly Taylor &amp;amp;#8212; is none other than Jen Weinberg, Glamour&amp;#x27;s West Coast editor. In a fun new series echoing that idea, Jen and I will choose one amazing, versatile item (this camel-and-black top is from from Loft) and run a little experiment. Take a gander at what we drummed up, and give us a shout below of how you&amp;#x27;d personalize this easy-breezy tank! With her Loft top, Jen wears a vintage Chaus skirt, Margiela magenta suede sandals, Santi Rom ring and earrings, and bracelets by Lizzie Fortunato, from Anthropologie, and a street vendor in Guatemala. How would you describe your overall vibe? &amp;quot;Eclectic, with an element of surprise.&amp;quot; What do you love about this particular top? &amp;quot;It has a great neckline&amp;amp;#8212;a halter accentuates the shoulders, which looks flattering on most body types.&amp;quot; How would you describe this look as a whole? &amp;quot;Tribal meets vintage folk.&amp;quot; Why did you choose to pair the tank with these items? &amp;quot;I always go for juxtaposition in my outfits, something that might be slightly mismatched, but kind of works in the end. The print of the shirt played well with the pattern on the bottom of the vintage skirt and gives it a quirky, unexpected twist.&amp;quot; Any fun tips for getting dressed when you have one piece in mind? &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s about cut and pattern. For this look, because the shirt was flowy, I knew I needed to pair it with something that cinched in the middle to give it some shape, hence the high-waisted skirt. For pattern, even if you&amp;#x27;re going mismatched, it&amp;#x27;s good to find some common thread between the pieces. Here, the tribal print played off of the folksy landscape on the bottom of the skirt.&amp;quot; What do you see as differences in our styles and perhaps similarities? &amp;quot;We both love prints, and we are both suckers for vintage. I always thought of myself as pretty daring when it comes to style, but then I met you, who schooled me!&amp;quot; What do you love about her look and would you ever dare to try and pull it off? &amp;quot;I really adore your always-chic hair. Maybe I&amp;#x27;ll crib your bangs and blunt bob someday?! And, I absolutely love your pants, but I couldn&amp;#x27;t dare to pull them off. I tend to go for skirts more because they are more flattering on my shape.&amp;quot; With her Loft top, Brenna wears Clover Canyon pants, Christian Louboutin pumps, Alexander McQueen clutch, Ross-Simons earrings, and bracelets all gifts from her mom. My overall vibe is... &amp;quot;Bonkers, sometimes borderline ugly, but always having a blast.&amp;quot; What I love about this particular top... &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;m all over mixing brown and black, silver and gold, and anything that lends itself to an off-the-wall blend. Plus, it&amp;#x27;s blousy enough that you can eat, drink, and be merry without a care in the world!&amp;quot; I would describe this look as... &amp;quot;Futuristic, boisterous, and you-either-love-it-or-hate-it, ha!&amp;quot; I chose to pair the tank with these items because... &amp;quot;I love how the brown in the top mirrors the stripe on the bottom of the Clover Canyon slacks and the butterfly print on the McQueen bag. And, I&amp;#x27;ll admit, turquoise is always my go-to accent color for a pop.&amp;quot; My fun tips for getting dressed when I have one piece in mind... &amp;quot;Much like I&amp;#x27;ve done on editorial sets throughout the years, I set up a clothing rack and jewelry trays, pulled out everything in my closet that could remotely go, and then tried every combo until it clicked.&amp;quot; The differences in Jen and my styles is... &amp;quot;As a Venice Beach dweller, Jen&amp;#x27;s always been able to pull off bohemian much better than me. But, we both love to push the envelope and aren&amp;#x27;t afraid to induce a &amp;#x27;huh?&amp;#x27;-style stare!&amp;quot; What I love about her look... &amp;quot;Well, it&amp;#x27;s the perfect effortless, vintage-meets-modern ensemble that still packs an insane punch. I borrowed the skirt after our dress-up day and have worn it three times already. As for her hair, I&amp;#x27;ve decided she&amp;#x27;s the reigning L.A. queen of the messy topknot. I have ears that I must hide, so I&amp;#x27;m always envious of what that updo does for her outfits!&amp;quot; Photographs by Miha Matei Who is your style sister?
