This month’s Fashionista has a smooth look that’s giving us total ’70s winter vibes. The piece that puts the look together is her suede fur lined vest which is from a thrift store. What really stands out is her choice of accessories. Her trendy, thin round glasses set us back into the groovy days. Her large black belt is subtle and simple yet edgy. All the pieces incorporated into this Fashionista’s outfit coincide with her color scheme, including her scrunchie.
When asked if living on campus and the overall college experience influenced her style she said, “College has absolutely influenced my fashion. Around campus I’m always seeing people who are expressing themselves through fashion and it’s so much more inspiring than in my high school.” This Fashionista uses her peers and surroundings as inspirations for her outfits. The use of layers is fun and trendy and something she is looking forward to all winter long. She also discussed how her outfits reflect how she’s feeling that day, and how fashion is a way for her to express herself and show who she truly is.
This outfit is fun, lightweight, affordable and comfortable; all elements of a perfect winter outfit. Suede is a great versatile fabric that can be the perfect transition piece between fall and winter. Moving forward this Fashionista said she is looking forward to hats and blanket scarves this winter. Warm and comfortable is her go-to look for the freezing cold weather we will shortly have in Ithaca.
