We’ve photographed Soma before, and it seems we can always count on her to be stylishly dressed. Her secret? “I always believe in dressing up for yourself, and not overthinking,” she says. “It’s all about adding a bit of myself into every outfit, and most importantly, having fun with what I wear.” Soma says she doesn’t have a fixed style and tends to be more adventurous, trying new things every time, but her staples include basic white linen tees, crew neck black tees, and statement skirts. These staples help her to put outfits together when she’s a “walking zombie” on weekdays, waking up at 6AM to get ready for work, but it’s all made better by her favourite part of her job — her colleagues. “We’re all so different and the idea of having all these unique individuals in one room is truly beautiful. One thing we all have in common is our love for food!” To balance it out, Soma heads to the gym on alternate days and Saturdays. “You could say I am running away from my stress!” Soma’s dream workspace would be one filled with Pinterest-worthy mood boards on white walls, in addition to a giant vending machine that hosts that best chocolates and drinks from the best cafes in town. On the side, Soma also finds time to document her sartorial adventures on her fashion blog, which she’s been running for quite some time now. Perhaps she’s working towards her dream of becoming a fashion stylist or buyer, and she keeps this quote close to her heart: “If you have a dream, go for it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.”
