Whenever Soledad walks down the street, she tends to stand out. This is mainly because of her height, but also because of the high level of confidence she has. Many people recognize her for her model-like appearance, again because of her height, but also because of her facial structure and how she carries herself. This confidence comes through her fashion as well, wearing outfits which suit her tall and lanky body type, and not being afraid to show off some skin. She wears midriff shirts, short-shorts, long bell-bottom jeans, and accompanies them with lots of different accessories. Soledad cares little about what others think, and always wears what she wants. This is also shown through her preference in pants, and similar to Clementine, this is a callback to second wave feminism.
My biggest influence for Soledad was Cher, as well as other performers of the time such as Diana Ross. I wanted Soledad to gleam like that of the 70s pop star. Besides her 70s influences, she is also heavily inspired by her Navajo ethnicity, which she continues to emulate through Jewelry and belts. She wears handmade silver necklaces, bracelets, and belt buckles, along with materials such as turquoise and coral. Although she is rarely sentimental, these pieces are the one thing she hangs on to, partially because of her Navajo origins.
