College Fashionista

The holidays have arrived. Sayonara sweatpants, bye-bye book bags, farewell finals!

It’s time to bust out your winter’s best, and nothing says "Happy holidays" more than a festive red. Dressed in otherwise muted colors, this Fashionista was full of the holiday spirit with her red satin top,…
