Hello Fashionistas/os! My name is Sydney Purdon, and I am thrilled to be writing my first post for CollegeFashionista as a Style Guru. I just recently completed my freshman year at Ohio State University. I am majoring in fashion and retail studies with big hopes of working in the fashion industry someday.
I have always loved anything and everything to do with fashion. I truly believe what you wear is the best way to express yourself. It was difficult during high school because I was required to wear the same uniform every day. I’ve been able to express my style more freely this past year in college which I have loved. I would say my personal style is a mixture of everything. Depending on the day, my look varies from girly, edgy, preppy, bohemian and classic.
My current outfit is inspired by the recent return of the retro-cool ’70s. This means flare pants, floppy hats and chunky platforms are back. I decided my new flare ripped jeans, favorite bohemian hat and fringe bag were a perfect combination to my ’70s-inspired outfit. Since summer is now upon us, I paired my outfit with a casual crop top to keep cool.  It isn’t hard to achieve this look and I am a firm believer that less is more.
I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a Style Guru and share the styles and trends I see this summer with you all. Congratulations to all my fellow summer Style Gurus! I am looking forward to seeing what wonderful fashionable things you discover!
