Ciao! My name is Carli Holbrook and this will be my second semester writing for CollegeFashionista! I have loved every second of being a part of such a RAD team this summer! It has truly opened my eyes to different styles, more ways of expressing yourself and seeing a little bit of a Fashionista/o in everyone.
I am a senior at the University of Kentucky majoring in Merchandising, Apparel and Textiles with a minor in Photography. I love being creative, stylish and adventurous. This past spring I was able to study abroad in Milan, Italy to take classes in fashion, art and photography. It was such an amazing experience to go in totally blind, making friends from all different cultures and seeing the world. It is truly something that I will never forget and I highly encourage all of you college Fashionistas out there to take advantage of education abroad while you can!
Style to me is all about taking a trend and putting your own twist on it. My favorite trend right now is flare jeans! I can’t buy enough pairs. I love wearing high heel booties with my longest pair of high-waisted, hip-hugging pants. Not only do they make your waist look amazing, but they give you super-model length legs (who doesn’t want that?). 2015 is the new 1970s and I am obsessed. While skinny jeans are always going to be a staple piece in your wardrobe and a necessity for every season, they just aren’t as fun as these hippie vibes that flare jeans give off. I love to pair my jeans with a simple tank to draw the most attention to my dark wash denim. This statement necklace from Follow Your Bliss jewelry is one of my favorite accessories that I have been wearing lately. The crystal matches with just about everything and is so fabulous on its own that you don’t even need much of anything else.
Check back every month this fall to read more about my favorite trends that I see and sport myself here in the Bluegrass State. I look forward to another RAD semester and wish everyone a happy fall!
