In a sea of pastels and short hem lines it was refreshing to see this Fashionista on the College of Charleston campus. When shopping for clothes, I tend to be extremely pickey when it comes to patterns (especially florals and paisley) and to me, this fashionista got it all right. A lot of times people over or under accessorize or wear too many patters that do not go well together, but this Fashionista was able to put together a well balanced outfit. Keeping things simple on top with a black tee and fine earrings allowed this Fashionista's skirt to stand out and be the focal point of the outfit. She also kept her footwear simple with a pair of cute tan gladiators. Usually paisley is viewed as an “old lady” print but this Fashionista is able to make it young and fresh with her arm candy and sunglasses. Her orange nail polish and ring also really freshened up this outfit because the not typical color really went well with everything she was wearing!
