Meet: Clothes and Pizza’s Abby Mills
Abby Mills is probably the coolest girl I know.
And it’s been that way ever since we met in the dorms freshman year of college. Abby was the girl you envied with the effortless flair and contagious personality. She was friends with everyone. Abby is one of the best living and breathing examples of “Be Yourselfie” that I know.
The proof is in her inevitable fashion blog: Clothes and Pizza. Yes!
Abby is a talent graphic designer/art director at a digital agency in Brooklyn by day, clothes horse by night. (She said it, not me!)

You know, I’ve been friends with Abby Mills since we watched Laguna Beach together and drank way too many Monster + vodkas.
So Abby delighted me in some of my burning questions below.
1. Where do you find your clothes?
I do about 80% of my shopping online. Who’s got time to physically go into actual stores anymore? I use sites like Asos or Nordstrom that have free shipping and return policies, so when things inevitably don’t fit, I can easily return or exchange them. I mostly shop for vintage in-person (vintage sizing is inconsistent and trying on is a must!). But I will occasionally grab vintage goodies online (Etsy, Instagram, Depop)—I actually bought my wedding dress on Etsy.
2. How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning?
It takes me less than 10 minutes to get dressed in the morning. I like to sleep in as late as possible, so getting ready quickly is a necessity. To streamline the process, I spend a few minutes before I go to sleep thinking about the next day’s outfit. I usually focus on one piece I want to wear (like a tartan skirt or leather pants) and build the rest of the look around that item.

3. Fav piece of clothing in your closet right now.
My favorite piece in my closet right now is a vintage yellow bowling shirt I scored at Housing Works last week. “Captain Delores” is embroidered over the front chest pocket. It’s pretty incredible.
4. If you had to choose: Clothes OR Pizza?
PIZZA. All day, everyday.
