Hey there fellow Fashionistas/os!
My name’s Marisa and I’m stoked that this is my first semester with CollegeFashionista! I’m a senior at the University of South Carolina pursuing a degree in retailing with an emphasis in fashion merchandising and a minor in public relations. I’m currently freaking out because I’m about to finish the victory lap but I’m thrilled to be a Style Guru for my final semester!
Besides loving all things fashion I’m also a huge concert junkie with an ice cream addiction. There’s nothing better than playing dress-up with your best friends before a concert and listening to some good tunes. I love all types of music but tend to be drawn to jam bands, classic rock and bass music. When it comes to ice cream, I prefer soft serve with rainbow sprinkles on a beach please.
I’m forever grateful that bell-bottoms and fringe came back in style because I’m kind of obsessed with the sixties. My style revolves around funky patterns that bring out a psychedelic side. I also love pairing patterns with classic pieces giving my looks a contemporary twist. I think everyone needs a go-to hat in his or her closet for the inevitable bad hair days. I’m all about repurposing clothing and a sucker for a glorious thrift store find.
In my free time I enjoy designing clothing and even made an outfit entirely out of chipotle bags one time! This semester I will be interning at Salty’s Board Shop an awesome store in Columbia, SC with great vibes.
I’m a creative free spirit with fierce determination and a bit of a wild side. When these three things are put together magic is created in my work. Blogging is something I have been itching to get into and I can’t wait to share with you the world of street style through my eyes.
