STYLE GURU BIO: Alexa Roberts

August 31st, 2015 at 2:10am

My name is Alexa Roberts and I’m excited to be returning for my third semester as a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista! After a few semesters of being an undecided student at Syracuse University, I finally made the decision to double major in writing and English textual studies. Although it quickly transitions into fall/winter, I hope to bring you lots fashion inspiration straight from the students of Syracuse.

Being from the Chicago area, I know the struggle of trying to make your outfit look stylish without ignoring that fact that it is below freezing outside. After years of dealing with this problem I have mastered (well, almost; my style is always changing!) how to layer up and stay true to my personal style while staying warm. My style is overall minimalist with a few touches of bold patterns and prints. What I wear on a day-to-day basis depends heavily on my mood but the go-to items in my closet are my leather jacket and sunglasses. No matter the day, I always end up incorporating one or the other into my outfit.

The outfit that I’m wearing is a great example of what I like to wear on an average summer day or weekend when I’m not working. When it’s hot, I absolutely HATE wearing pants. So this midi skirt and crop top, both from Zara, are the perfect combination to get through a day of summer activities. I finished off my outfit with my favorite cross-body bag and sunglasses.

    Hey there Fashionista’s! I loved writing last semester as a Style Guru so I'm back for my second semester and couldn't be more excited. I may go to school in the cold and snowy city of Syracuse, but that doesn't stop me and tons of other Fashionistas and Fashionistos from getting around campus in style. Categorizing my style into one word is not that simple for me because it is all over the place. My style tends to vary between simple all black outfits, to wearing bold colors and prints. It really depends on the day and my mood! With that being said, stay tuned every Thursday this semester for my weekly post. For daily updates check out my Instagram!
