Hello all you beautiful Fashionistas/os! My name is Genny Rojewski and I am so excited to be a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista this semester. I am currently a sophomore at Penn State University where I am planning on majoring in public relations. Ever since I was little, I’ve always known I wanted to do something with fashion when I was older. I started to make my dream a reality in high school when I was able to take courses on clothing, textiles, and fashion merchandising. In these classes I learned everything from today’s fast fashion industry to distinct fashion trends of the past. In the midst of learning all these new things, we also learned how to sew. Our final project in the class was to sew and style an outfit to wear at our annual fashion show. Now in college, I am a member of the social media team for the Fashion Society of Penn State. As a member of the group, I help create and publish posts for all our social media sites.
It’s hard to pick one or two adjectives to describe my personal style. My outfits are usually a reflection of my mood that day. When I’m feeling fun and flirty, I’ll throw on a dress with a playful pattern. When I’m feeling mature and modern, I’ll grab my favorite pair of black booties. And when I’m feeling a little stressed out and tired, I’ll dig out my beloved sweatshirts.
In my opinion, jewelry is one of the best/fastest ways to make a dull outfit more styled and put together. Ever since they started popping up in my favorite stores, I’ve been loving these boho inspired coin necklaces. The one pictured above is from Forever 21 and it is by far my new favorite. The layered appearance of the necklace helps give dimension and interest to my plain gray sweater. Although I’m a little late to jump on the bandwagon, I’ve recently been obsessed with cold shoulder tops. I am aware it is the middle of winter and buying a sweater with giant cuts on the sleeves is kind of hard to justify. But, this sweater from T.J Maxx is by far the softest sweater I’ve felt, and it would have been a fashion sin if I didn’t buy it. If I could give anyone one piece of fashion advice though, it would be to buy a pair of good black jeans. I have gone years without having a pair and I finally picked up this high-waisted pair from American Eagle. They have changed my life.
I cannot wait to see where this fashion journey takes me and I am so excited to share it with all of you!
