Why did you choose this particular outfit? “I’ve been super into the double denim look lately, but instead of doing what I normally do (jeans + a jean jacket), I paired jeans with a chambray top instead. This still followed that denim-on-denim trend, but took an alternative path and made the look more personal. I wanted to make the denim look a bit fancier, instead of just making it casual and pairing it with sneakers.”

What fashion advice would you give to other students looking to improve their style? “A lot of my friends or acquaintances who know I’m into fashion and run a blog always ask me this question, and my best answer would be to dress the way you’d like to dress. Instead of questioning ‘would I look good in this?’ wear the outfit you’d like to wear and own it. The best outfit is confidence. I also suggest following fashion influencers, bloggers, or just overall fashionable people on Instagram and start looking to them for inspiration. But don’t forget to always make it personal!”

What are your favorite trends right now? “I can’t get enough of mules or literally any shoe that doesn’t have a heel strap. I also love double denim, which is definitely making a comeback right now. I’m also really into fun summery prints, like gingham. White-on-white is also something I’ve been doing a lot lately, which I usually do in the form of my white wide-leg jeans from Madewell and a white graphic tee.”

Do you have any favorite fashion designers? “Alessandro Michele of Gucci, Chloe’s former designer Claire Waight Keller, Simone Rocha, Christopher Kane, Adam Selman, and Stella McCartney. These are just my faves at the moment based on the last few seasons, but some of them (like Michele) has stayed constant for many years.”

What do you do for fun? “Aside from fashion blogging, I dance at my school’s ballet/contemporary student [organization], I occasionally shoot photos (which I was super into more in high school than now unfortunately), I explore the city to mostly find good places to eat, and I go see live music whenever I have the funds [and] free time.”
