STYYLE GURU BIO: Jamie Spain

There is something about spotting the perfect style piece after three hours of intense thrift store hunting that gives me a thrill. Fashion is more than coverage, it is an art. Putting my outfits together from thrift stores and old closets is a way to create a masterpiece every single morning. I love showing the world my creativity through my wardrobe.

My style is a mix and match bag of collected pieces and I always keep one eye open on campus to catch the next statement piece. Some of my favorites are ruffled socks in every color or a catchy pair of glasses to brighten up my face. I love pairing unexpected pieces together to create a dynamic duo. Flashy combat boots with a sparkly pencil skirt is one outfit I like to play with.

Every morning I wake up ready to create myself a new look. There’s no reason to stay stuck with same style, so I try my best to experiment with different trends. I try to be daring and adventurous, so I can feel strong and confident with what I’m wearing. Fashion for me is a way to define myself and show the world who I am. I am constantly questioning my style and redefining it, which makes the process of shopping and dressing so interesting and fun. Putting on clothes every morning is like putting on my armor, it makes me feel stronger and brighter, and it’s why I’m so infatuated with fashion and style. It has the ability to transform my mood and my self-image. My style is a way for me to gain self-confidence and show the world who I can truly be.
