Hi everyone my name is Madison Stoneman, or Madi for short, and I am a junior at Augustana College majoring in Communications and Graphic Design. This is my first semester as a Style Guru and I’m so excited to start showcasing fashion on my campus! When I’m not studying and posting on CollegeFashionista, I am updating on my personal blog, MakeitMadi.
After recently spending a semester abroad in Hong Kong I am excited to see what new trends have been popping up on my campus. My goal is to inspire those to try new trends and have fun with fashion because fashion is an experiment. It is a way to showcase your personality and ultimately create individuality. The one thing that I want to stress is that you don’t have to have one specific style. It’s okay to rock a bohemian “cool girl” look and the next day transition into a classic, chic Audrey Hepburn ensemble. The one condition is that you should feel confident in what you’re wearing.
I chose to wear this understated Zara top as well as this beautiful gold Railway Choker designed by my friend Stacy Eden of Clutch Crowns. I accessorized with a brown cross-body bag along with the adorable faux fur pom pom. Next I paired the outfit with J Brand jeans purchased at Nordstrom Rack. The slash in the knees adds a bit of surprise, while the shoes, purchased in Hong Kong, grab the eye with the lace up detail.
I’m looking forward to share this journey with you all as I present looks that are easy to recreate. I hope that throughout my posts I am able to encourage those of you to feel confident with the clothes that inspire you.
