STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Mad for Mumu

Every collegiate girl’s closet has that one dress that she can slip on for any occasion–church, her sorority’s chapter meeting, a date. For many of girls on the University of Georgia’s campus, a Show Me Your Mumu dress is a staple. The fun patterns, flowy silhouettes and overall ease make their pieces a busy student’s favorite clothing line. This Fashionista pairs her Donna Michelle Tunic in Lilies of Love with simple accessories to let the loud, floral print be the focal point of her look.

Instead of pairing the mumu with cowboy boots (which is perfect for game day) or simple sandals, this Fashionista’s wedges amp up the overall look. The OTBT Bushnell Wedges are extremely popular in Athens. The slight incline of the wedge and their incredibly comfortable sole make them perfect for any on-the-go college student.

In addition, her suede bolo tie necklace completes the easy-going, yet put-together ensemble. This Fashionista has a jewelry obsession, and actually made this necklace with suede and a few beads from a local craft store. By wrapping it around her neck and then letting the excess length hang, the necklace gives this Fashionsita’s look a trendy twist.

When it comes to the UGA campus, people are always trying to look their best and keep up with evolving trends. Since I have been in Athens, a Show Me Your Mumu dress has been the go-to outfit for any occasion. Don’t be afraid to play with the bright colors and bold patterns and do not be intimidated by the short hemlines, just embrace it and have fun!
