STYLE GURU BIO: Dahlia Chaudhury

January 5th, 2017 at 2:00am

My name is Dahlia Chaudhury and I am so excited for my second semester as a Style Guru! I am a sophomore at American University in Washington D.C. majoring in international relations (concentrating in development) and minoring in communications. I am from Auburn, Alabama (War Eagle!), but love living in our capital—especially for all the awesome style.

I love donuts and running; #blessed that my two favorite things cancel each other out. I spend a lot of my time dancing. I choreographed a hip hop dance for AU’s dance club last semester and also tapped in a dance. I am a huge sports fan—mostly soccer and basketball, but I also love college football (even though my school doesn’t have a team). Playing pick up is so fun, too!

I’ve loved fashion since about age three, and I know for a fact my shopping problem developed around then! Though my lack of art skills have kept my interest from designing, I have a huge passion for photography, and shooting fashion is so. much. fun! I love trying new lenses on my camera, as well as posing and styling people.

As for my style, I am super laid-back and my clothing choices convey that pretty well. I’ve had people describe my style as “athleisure,” which basically means I live in workout clothes. Comfort is always key for me. Here, I’m wearing a black swing dress with a super soft V-neck thermal on top. I accessorized with my Apple watch (to count my steps!) and checkered vans, one of my go-to pairs of sneakers. I’m also obsessed with my current nail color: navy blue with tons of glitter. Keeping it casual and simple pretty much defines me.
