Summertime is just around the corner, as finals and the end of the semester vastly approach on NAU’s campus. For some students, this week is filled with last minute papers, projects and trips to the library for late night cramming; but for others this week is merely the start of summer due to preparation and ease associated with the dreaded finals week. I will admit, I am one of those hated students who is stress free come finals week due to my organized study habits. With that said, I was enjoying the beginning of summer as I spotted this Fashionista chatting with friend’s downtown. Lucky for me, she too was sailing through this week as the majority of her finals were already completed. This Fashionista stands out in the perfect summer-kick-off look. She sports a green maxi skirt paired with a skull-embellished gray tank top, orange beaded teardrop necklace, turquoise and orange beaded sandals and a multicolored striped leather backpack. Now, let’s check out this Fashionista’s favorite staples and get a quick tutorial on how to easily recreate this bold summer look.
