College Fashionista

As the temperatures drop, so do peoples' spirits. People start to bundle up and hunker down, all blending in together. This Fashionista stuck out, looking like she stepped out of a magazine, walking down the sidewalk toward me. She was wearing a Tracy Reese textured jacket combined with brown…
