Hey! My name is Chante James-Bellessis. I am a sophomore at Pennsylvania State University. I am currently an advertising/public relations major with a business minor. My goal is to pursue a career as a fashion buyer. I love everything about fashion and see it as the perfect form of self- expression. This is my first semester as a Style Guru, and I am super excited to showcase style here on campus.
I’ve always liked fashion, but I didn’t realize how much I loved it until my junior year of high school. At the time, we were having countless conversations about college and career options. I could never see myself being a doctor or lawyer. I was always stuck when the conversation came to me. Then one day it just clicked; I wanted to do something where I could show my creativity, express myself, have fun, help others and look good all the time. That’s when I fell in love with fashion, and now I can’t picture myself doing anything else.
I would describe my style as having two moods. One day, I’m wearing a T-shirt, ripped jeans and sneakers, and the next I’m in a dress and heels. Some of my favorite places to shop are Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Boohoo, ASOS and Misguided. I also like to go on instagram and find online boutiques. One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is makeup. I feel that it is another way to express my creativity and could be an essential part to completing a look.
Penn State is a huge school, and I can’t to wait to share the Fashionistos/as here on campus!
