STYLE GURU BIO: Julia Cheeseman

September 2nd, 2015 at 2:00am

Hello all! I am so excited to be a Style Guru! My name is Julia Cheeseman and I am a junior at the University of South Florida. I am studying Political Science and English Literary Studies.

I absolutely LOVE being a Floridian. It truly is the “sunshine state” and the weather is wonderful year long. It’s the perfect climate to experiment with style choices and try new things from floral to plaid. This environment is agreeable with my style because I love cool fashion to beat the heat!

In my free time, I thoroughly enjoy reading and could read all day, non-stop, no problem. I also have a love for music and it grows everyday as a member of the University of South Florida’s Herd of Thunder. My music taste ranges from pop to R&B to alternative with an extreme affinity for The Weeknd right now.

As for my sense of style, I really like to explore the confines between dressy and casual. I think that we can all be comfortable while looking great! Especially since college is preparing us for the business world, we should dress the part now. My inspiration for fashion often comes from the past classic icons like Audrey Hepburn. In a way, I think we’ve forgotten how simplicity can be a statement, too.

For this particular look, I’ve opted to exhibit all the boldness and brightness of summer! This coral and black patterned dress is definitely a statement piece and is easily convertible for a casual or dressy outing depending on your accessories. I like to let the pattern speak for itself and add details that are simplistic. These classic, black pumps are extremely versatile and are perfect for interviews. Simple black jewelry, like this necklace, is a must have when you need to accessorize.

Our fashionable fall is ready to begin!
