With the semester finally wrapped up at West Virginia University, students like Sammie are heading home to visit friends and family before starting again in January. In the midst of finals week, I found our fashionista on WVU’s Evansdale campus taking a study break. 

I was drawn to her black parka with a big, furry hood… perfect for long walks to class on bitter cold days. When Sammie is comfortable in her outfit, she is confident. I am certain that you are going to love her style!

Let’s Talk Fashion

Who or what inspires your style? “My style is inspired by many of the Instagram fashion accounts I follow like @jess. I usually look at outfits from those pages and try to recreate them. I also watch Youtubers like Kristin Johns who help to inspire my style.”

Where do you like to shop? “My favorite places to shop are Forever 21 or T.J.Maxx because they both have everything. It’s so easy to go in these stores and find so many cute clothes. I also love shopping at Latch Boutique in Morgantown. Boutiques are great because a lot of times they have trendy items [that] mall stores wouldn’t usually have.”

How would describe your sense of style? “I would describe my style as comfy. Whatever I’m wearing I like to make sure I feel comfortable in it so that I can be confident wearing it.”

Why did you choose this particular outfit? “I chose this outfit because the long jacket always keeps me warm on cold days walking through campus, but I thought the boots and hat gave it a stylish pop. I also never leave the house (my dorm) without putting on my two Pandora rings and my ‘choose love’ Mantraband.”
