Why did you choose this particular outfit? “It’s kind of hot out, so that’s why I threw my Birks on this morning. I like to match colors, so with my [burnt orange] top, I paired [my brown belt with it]. It’s pretty normal to see me in a tank top and jeans combination. I don’t like to mix and match my metals when it comes to accessories, so I chose my earrings that are bit of a statement piece. The gold and brown tones go together really nicely. Depending if I have time when I am getting ready, I love to throw on accessories that really add to my outfit.”

What fashion advice would you give to other students looking to improve their style? “Definitely always incorporate your style into everything that you wear. If you are looking to improve your style or make it more trendy, use social media platforms to find what is really big as far as trends. I used to search ‘what would look good with _____’ to figure out what little things [I could] add to make [my] ensemble more chic. I think fashion is a learning process.”

What are your favorite trends right now? “I love to layer. I went away one summer to work at a Young Life camp [where] my friends there taught me how to layer my clothes. After I learned how to do it for my outfits, I realized it was super cute! I also really like jumpsuits and the utility pants that have made a recent comeback.”

What is one trend that you wish would go away? “I feel like every time I find a cute shirt that I really like, it has a tie in the front. I am ready for that trend to go away.”

Do you have any favorite fashion designers? If so, who? “Definitely when it comes accessories one of my favorite designers is Michael Kors. Brandy Melville has a ton of clothing that seems to match my style pretty well. I think overall I tend to follow fashion based on what I like rather than who made the clothes.”
