I can’t get enough of Jacy Tilton‘s easy, breezy outfits – or her adorable blog, Love, Lenore! The recent University of Missouri grad is just as sweet as her style.

This week, Jacy dishes about staying stylish on an entry-level salary, gives her best tips for getting blog traffic through social media, and spills her favorite Instagram accounts for style inspiration.

The Interview:

College Fashion: Tell us a little bit about yourself. 

Jacy Tilton: Hello! My name is Jacy Tilton and I’m the blogger behind www.lovelenore.com. I’m 22 and graduated from college last year, and now work at an advertising agency in my hometown of Springfield, Missouri.

Besides my obsession with fashion, I love social media, staying fit, Netflix, tea, reading magazines, and hanging out with my fiancé and basset hound mix, Lulu, on the weekends. I’m marrying my college sweetheart, Trey, this summer, so I’m right in the midst of wedding planning too!

CF: How would you define your style?

JT: My style has changed a lot over the years, but I would describe my current and more permanent style-mindset as trendy and chic on a budget. With my transition from college to the working world, my style has become much more sophisticated and mature, and I love the challenge of putting together chic, trendy looks on a small budget.

CF:  How did you find your style?

JT: I fell in love with fashion in high school, but my obsession with runway collections and Vogue didn’t carry over to my personal style for awhile. In college I started following trends and figuring out what looked best on me, and I’ve gotten better at refining that as time has gone on!

I’ve learned that style is a constant evolution. I used to dress more on the Bohemian side, but in the last year my tastes have really transitioned to sophisticated-chic. Blogging has been the biggest factor though. It’s helped to see all of my clothes documented in photos, because I can look back and see what worked and what didn’t work.
