Hey everyone! My name is Jordan Valadao and I’m a soon-to-be sophomore at Oregon State University majoring in sociology. But that doesn’t stop me from loving photography, fashion and all things beauty related. I take my Canon Rebel T5i with me just about everywhere I go and hoping to find that perfect shot.
My style ranges anywhere from boho to grunge to athletic wear. There’s nothing that you won’t see me in. With anything I wear, I always try to add my own spin. For example, I paired this floral dress with some edgy booties and a Western double buckle belt, and the layered necklace adds an element of surprise to this otherwise basic staple piece.
However, you won’t always see me in a dress. In fact, mostly what I wear is comfortable clothing, so that I can have the most confidence possible. Whether I’m wearing a cropped hoodie, leggings and some adidas or a dress with thigh-high boots, I always want to be confident in my style choices.
Fashion is something I have always loved. Ever since I was in elementary school, my mom always let my sister and I choose what we wore every morning before school, and that creative freedom really made the difference in the risks I take in my style today. Although back then I was deciding between Children’s Place overalls and Stuff by Hilary Duff denim skirts, I now have the ability to take risks and be confident.
Overall, I am so excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this awesome group of Style Gurus, and I can’t wait to read everyone’s bio to learn more about them. Let’s have #RAD semester!
