Hello, my name is Melissa Ruel, and I am so excited to begin this semester as a Style Guru. I am currently a sophomore at Sacred Heart University with a major in Psychology and a minor in dance. Although I am not getting a degree in Fashion, it is one of my greatest passions.
I would describe my taste in fashion as preppy with a boho twist. I believe that an outfit can be worn to any occasion with minimal alterations made to it. Also, a statement necklace can bring any outfit from a daytime or class outfit to something you can wear out to dinner with your friends.
Shoes make for a great focal point to any look. These brown lace-up booties can be a staple in any preppy or boho look. Pairing them with cuffed blue jeans and a white sweater make them stand out. I added the vest because it is winter, and I think it doubles as both warmth and style. The statement necklace ties the whole look together, especially the light pink color of the necklace and the brown color of the shoes.
If the winter season continues the way it is now in the northeast, then you will be seeing much less bulky clothes than normal. I hope you all have a rad semester this spring!
