Courtni is looking to thrive in her second semester at West Virginia University. I ran into this up-and-coming fashionista on her way home from class. Courtni’s casual outfit exudes confidence and features several trends at once. You’ll want to take notes from this WVU student, as she easily could have walked straight off the runway.

Let’s Talk Fashion

Who or what inspires your style? “Pinterest and Instagram [are] what really inspires my style. I can scroll through the fashion pages on Pinterest all day long!”

Where do you like to shop? “I love to shop at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. Other places would include Forever 21, Hollister [Co.], American Eagle, and Francesca’s. I love anywhere I can get a good deal.”

How would you describe your sense of style? “I tend to have different style preferences depending on the occasion. For everyday wear, going to class, or hanging out with friends, I fit the hipster [and] athleisure style[s] best.”

Why did you choose this particular outfit? “I chose this particular outfit mainly because I had just bought the fishnet tights and I have been looking forward to wearing them. The boyfriend jeans show off the fishnets perfectly, plus they are super comfortable. To finish the outfit, I went with the bomber jacket for a pop of color.”

What fashion advice would you give to students wanting to improve their style? “Just be true to yourself. I try to wear what speaks to me as well as include a little comfort into my outfit.”

What are your favorite trends right now? “I really love boyfriend jeans. I’ve always heard that fashion trends come back. Mom and boyfriend styles are my favorite kind of jeans. I also like jean jackets right now. They’re so easy to wear and can be paired with most everything.”
