Hey there Fashionistas and Fashionistos! My name is Michaela Leung and I am currently a junior majoring in Mass Media and working on a Journalism Cross-Training certificate at Valdosta State University. This is my second semester as a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista and I am beyond ready to yet again capture the styles seen on VSU’s campus.
I have always had a love for fashion. From an early age, I saw fashion as a way of expressing myself and showcasing a part of who I am. I tend to lean toward dark colors like black, maroon, olive and grey, but I don’t mind experimenting with light colors from time to time. Since music is a big part of my life it influences me in a lot of ways, and fashion is no exception! I’m inspired a lot by the ‘90s alternative rock scene, particularly the grunge era. I also find fashion inspiration from iconic ‘90s shows and movies like Daria, Clueless, My So Called Life and many more!
I believe that you should dress the way that you want to. First and foremost, fashion is for you. Wear what colors you want to wear. Dress different, be funky, don’t match and do whatever it is that you want to do! If someone likes your outfit, that should just be a plus, not the whole goal. I also believe that you should get more bang for your buck. I usually find fashion gems on the clearance rack and I love a good sale! However, I do like to splurge on myself and buy expensive pieces from time to time, especially with shoes (Vans are my favorites)!
I’m excited to spend another semester spotting out the Fashionistas and Fashionistos at Valdosta State and I can’t wait to see the fashion on other campuses!
