My name is Jasmine Cole, and I’m so excited to be a part of CollegeFashionista for the first time this summer! I’m majoring in Textile and Apparel Management at the University of Missouri and will be a junior this fall. From a young age I’ve always loved fashion and knew it was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Putting together pieces for others and myself always came naturally to me and I couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
As for my personal style it is forever changing depending on my mood, the weather and just about any other factor you can think of. My closet consists of everything from lace and crochet tops to concert T-shirts and thrifted flannels. I think my closet is so diverse because I get inspiration from just about anywhere. I owe it to my indecisiveness as to why my closet has so much variety and the fact that I’m always up for a challenge when it comes to styling different pieces. My style inspirations vary from Rihanna and Zoe Kravitz, to multiple fashion bloggers and my fellow classmates. I’ve always believed that you can never have too many influences (or in this case, closets) to draw from.
Besides fashion, I’m obsessed with makeup, music and photography–pretty basic, I know. Binge-watching makeup tutorials on YouTube is one of my favorite hobbies and concert venues are like my second home. I love finding new artists to listen to and nothing compares to live music with friends or family. I took my first film photography class in my sophomore year of high school and since then, I’ve never looked back. Finding the beauty in normal, everyday things and capturing those moments is something I’m extremely passionate about and it’s always fun to share those moments with others.
With all that being said, I’m really looking forward to this summer as well as being apart of CollegeFashionista. My goal is to give at least someone a little fashion inspiration with my posts and can’t wait to start this journey with my fellow Fashionistas/os.
