STYLE GURU BIO: Lauren Kravec

September 2nd, 2015 at 2:00am

Hello Fashionistas and Fashionistos! My name is Lauren and I’m a rising senior at Northwestern University majoring in Journalism with a concentration in Marketing. Even though a lot of my friends have started school already, my summer is still in full swing since Northwestern is on the quarter system.

Although I spend most of my time at school in Chicago, growing up in South Florida has greatly influenced my style. I’m always drawn to bright, tropical colors (I wear a lot more orange than the average person) and big accessories. And because my hair is crazy curly, I tend to wear a lot of boho styles to fit my hippie hairstyle.

However, I’ve been lucky enough to have an amazing internship in New York City and that means adopting a more muted business casual wardrobe. I love my denim dress because of the flattering and comfortable silhouette and because it can be dressed up for work. Since I’ve been trying to make the most of my time in the greatest city in the world, at least in my opinion, I need clothes that can take me straight from work to dinner with my friends to a museum. This dress is definitely one of those pieces.

As much as I try to fit into the office dress code, though, I still love to let my personal style shine through, and that means adding on some quirky accessories. I love big jewelry and my bib necklace is one of my favorites because it’s so sparkly and attention-grabbing and looks like it could even be part of the dress I’m wearing it with. And as far as my shoes go, they are more casual, but they still have height and are comfortable. I can run around the office all day in them.
