Hey there! This month’s dose of style on campus is focused on accessories. As college students, it’s so tempting to wear the same pieces over and over in the same way or to buy a bunch of things because you feel like you can never repeat an outfit. Accessories are a great way to vary your look without buying a lot of expensive pieces. You should definitely keep in mind that there is a such thing as too many accessories! Everything you add to an outfit should serve a purpose in terms of the look you want to achieve.
My roommate, Allison, is very good at using her accessories to change up her outfits and to incorporate her own personal style into everything she wears. In this outfit, she uses pins to express her taste in music, The Smiths, and in television, Twin Peaks. Pins have been very popular for the last few seasons due to how versatile they are. You can put a pin on any article of clothing or even on your backpack and move them any time you like. There are also a large variety of types of pins so it is easy for anyone to incorporate them into their own wardrobe and cater to their personal style.
She also uses her yellow backpack to add color to an otherwise neutral outfit. Neutral colors are very easy to pair but you can add variance with pops of color in your accessories. The shoes on her feet are mary janes that function as her signature shoe as she pairs them with most of her outfits.
