What’s up Fashionistas/os? My name is Natalie, and I’m super pumped to be a part of the CollegeFashionista family this semester! I am currently a sophomore at the University of Tampa studying communications with hopes of becoming a fashion or music writer one day! My dream job would definitely be either styling celebrities or working at a major record label!
The two most beautiful things to me in life are fashion and music, because nothing is more self-expressive or creative. Fashion and music are universal yet personal, and a person can take the two and run with them in any direction they wish.
I put passion into my fashion, and that’s what makes my world go round! I love staying up on trends and finding a dupe or look-for-less. I’m constantly on the hunt for a celebrity look at a cheaper price or a luxury makeup dupe at the drugstore. I learn a lot from social media and fashion bloggers, and my best advice to anyone who wants to get into fashion is to follow a bunch of stylish girls or guys on Instagram!
My personal style is a mix between beachy bohemian or edgy and rocker chic. My style is definitely unique and laid back, just like me. I love flowy tunics and dresses from Free People, casual clothes from PacSun, cool accessories from Nordstrom’s BP department, and nothing gives me more joy then searching through Forever 21 to find pieces that no one would ever take the time to dig up.
In my current outfit, I’m rocking these dope taupe sock booties with a chunky brown heel from Forever 21. Up top, I have on a Brandy Melville Grateful Dead T-shirt and a pink faux-fur coat from Forever 21. For bottoms, I have on a distressed pair of light denim jeans with cool pastel flower patches; I found these awesome boyfriend jeans in PacSun. I’m all about accessorizing, I have on a pink velvet and diamond choker from Forever 21, and I love layering necklaces so along with the choker I have a gold nameplate necklace and a cross and Saint Christopher medal. Finally, the look wouldn’t be complete without my Ray-Ban sunglasses.
I can’t wait to spend my next semester with CollegeFashionista. I’m looking forward to sharing more fun and stylish looks with y’all from my campus in Tampa, Florida, this spring and I’m even more excited to see what’s on and poppin’ on my fellow Style Guru’s campuses!
