Hey Fashionistas and Fashionistos!
My name is Nadia Karizat (Nads for short) and I am a sophomore at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. I’m majoring in Communications with a minor in Digital Studies and Intergroup Relations Education. This will be my first semester as a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista and I’m so unbelievably excited to capture all of the wonderful fashion on campus with my favorite possession in the world: my camera.
Affordable. There aren’t many words I can use that would describe every single item in my closet, but affordable would be one of them! I’m a college student after all, right? Graduation will be here before I know it and so are real-world responsi-bill-ities. But, just because I don’t want to hurt the bank does not mean I skimp on my fashion choices, it just means I have to be smarter with how I shop and stay on the look out for the best deals!
I have a tendency to be drawn towards any fashion item that contains bows— aren’t they the cutest? When I was a little girl, I loved wearing dresses and skirts, but always wanted more. Since coming to college, I, slowly, but surely, have been building a collection of comfy and versatile dresses, skirts and my new favorite romper!
One of the many facets of self-expression is fashion and I’m constantly blown away with how one’s style can be a reflection of who they are, how they’re feeling, or what they aspire to become. From day to day, one’s outfit can re-create their personal vibe. I could be wearing gym shoes, yoga pants and a crewneck one day and the next I could be wearing platform boots, black skinny jeans, a band T-shirt with a flannel shirt. Both would still be me, but a different part of who I am shines through.
College is a time where individuals find themselves and figure out who it is that they want to be; one of the things many people explore and experiment with during this time is fashion! I can’t stop thinking about how cool it is to be given the opportunity to formally capture this journey of fashion and self-discovery through CollegeFashionista.
Report back here every Friday to see my articles and beautiful images of fabulous people with amazing style!
