What’s up, Fashionistas! My name is Jamie, and I am a sophomore communications major at Villanova University. I am so thrilled to be starting my 2017 spring internship with CollegeFashionista! This opportunity gives me a chance to express myself through some of my favorite things—fashion, photography, beauty, and writing!
Because I go to school in the Main Line area near the city of Philadelphia, there are definitely loads of influences of different types of styles. Even though some believe in sticking to one type of fashion, I believe combinations of different styles and trends truly create personal style that are unique to everyone. I am a strong believer in the statement “If you like it, then wear it.” It is something I follow and encourage other too as well. If you have a gut feeling about a look, going for it is almost always worth it. Being bold and expressing yourself is what fashion is all about!
This is exactly what I did in this look; I included a mix of styles and trends, ultimately wearing the outfit because I like it. I based my look around one of my favorite shirts right now: a simple, pink velour shirt from Forever 21. Since this cute top is definitely pretty girly and preppy, I decided to shake up the look by adding in some grunge trends. I did this by wearing ripped jeans with stockings under (a look I’m a huge fan of) and adding a classic, reversible bomber jacket, also from Forever 21. I finished off this look by adding some black booties and jewelry that looks amazing with almost every outfit: simple and dainty gold chokers. The ones I wore for this look are by Stargaze Jewelry and Urban Outfitters.
I am beyond excited to begin my CollegeFashionista journey and continue to share some of my favorite looks with all of you this spring. Feel free to connect with me on social media to be updated about my latest posts. Until next time, Fashionistas!
