Hello, Fashionistas! Ever since I was a little girl, I have always had a passion for fashion. My favorite mantra is from Kate Spade, “Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends.” That quote shows how I’ve always felt about fashion. It’s not just about trends, it’s about dressing up and showing your personality through what you wear. Fashion is art that you get to wear. How cool is that?

I am currently a freshman at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. Originally I am from the great state of Texas, but I fell in love with Virginia and Liberty in particular because of how gorgeous it is and the amazing friendly people I’ve met. I am currently seeking a degree in Accounting with a minor in Fashion Merchandising. I want to pursue being an accountant in the fashion industry, since it’s not just the designers who are important to making amazing clothes available for us to explore!

I would say my style is whimsical meets chic. In my wardrobe I like to find one unique article of clothing and/or accessory and build my outfit around it. I online shop for different articles of clothing that people do not have all the time, which can lead to fun choices otherwise unavailable in the stores around the corner. This can be seen by the pattern on my skirt, which was the starting point for my outfit. The sandals are simple gladiator sandals, but I loved the two-tones of brown in them. The bangles were simple yet chic, which is typically my style. The sunglasses are Nina Ricci, she is my new favorite designer at the moment.

Liberty is a fresh and vibrant campus and I’m looking forward to sharing the trends from sunny Virginia!
