STYLE GURU BIO: Sabrina Farmer

Oscar Wilde once said, โ€œYou can never be overdressed or overeducated.โ€

This is, without a doubt, my favorite Oscar Wilde quote. As a fashion-obsessed undergraduate student, I feel as if it is particularly poignant as I begin street style blogging.

My name is Sabrina Farmer and I am thrilled to be joining the CollegeFashionista team. I am a sophomore English major and Japanese minor from Abington, Pennsylvania. I am currently studying at the illustrious Howard University in our nationโ€™s capital, Washington, D.C. Hopefully, writing at CollegeFashionista will motivate me to update my personal blog, Atlantic Fade, and also possibly start a YouTube channel.

Attending one of the most fashionable universities in America has certainly influenced my personal style. I have never necessarily considered myself to be a โ€œloudโ€ dresser, but coming to the Meccaโ€”as Howard is often calledโ€”makes you step your game up. These days, I tend to gravitate towards statement necklaces, dramatic hats and vivacious lip colors in order to offset my wardrobeโ€™s admittedly neutral and monochromatic color palette.

I have always had a complicated relationship with fashion. In middle school, I vacillated between being scholarly and sartorially-minded, all without realizing that I could be both. Years have past and I have since integrated my two loves (books and Balenciaga). Post college, I have every intention of putting my English degree and fledgling knowledge of Japanese and Korean to use in a fashion-related career.

Documenting the sensational street style at a fashion-forward university, such as Howard, will undoubtedly be challenging, but also fun, informative and eye opening. I canโ€™t wait to share my snapshots of #BisonStyle with you all!
