Hey fellow fashion lovers! My name is Emma Tschurwald and I’m a freshman at Kent State University studying fashion design. I’m stoked to be a part of the Style Guru gang! Fashion and art are two of my passions in life, and I’m so excited to be starting my journey into the industry. I chose fashion design because I love the fact that I can express myself through art while creating something that can be used and worn by people.
My personal style has changed over the years, for better and worse, but now I have grown into a very minimalistic, monotone style. I have learned to appreciate well-made basics and seasonal statement pieces. I wore this look for a busy day of running around town, so I wanted to keep it comfortable as well as stylish. I am obsessed with my gray longline wool jacket. It is the warmest, coziest coat I’ve ever had. It is also extremely versatile, which is important when investing in a staple piece. I kept it simple with ripped blue jeans and my favorite pair of Adidas sneakers. One trend that I’m all about is funky socks, and this glitzy pair is one of my favorites. I wore a simple black long sleeved T-shirt as my base layer. I then threw on my cozy plaid scarf, which added the pop of color that this look needed. To top the look off, I am using my Steve Madden backpack. This outfit is a great representation of my style, which balances comfort and cuteness.
I can’t wait to share all of the different styles and personalities that live and thrive at Kent State University. Being in the heart of the Midwest, you’d think it would be hard to spot fashion forward people, but the fashion school at Kent is bursting with creativity and style. I’m excited to find the fashion-forward students who refuse to compromise their need for style!
I hope you enjoy, here’s to a great semester with CollegeFashionista!
