STYLE GURU BIO: Bethany Kurtz

Hello fellow Fashionistas! My name is Bethany Kurtz! I am a junior at Kent State University, and I am majoring in fashion merchandising with a minor in marketing. I’m so excited to be a Style Guru this semester and show my love of fashion to all of you!

I have been interested in fashion since a very young age. I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in fashion. My dream job is to do social media for a fashion company or be a wardrobe stylist. I studied abroad this past semester in Florence, Italy. While I was abroad, I learned so much about the fashion industry and European fashion. I’m looking forward to showing everyone what I learned this past semester. I would say that my style has changed a bit from being abroad, I have added more neutrals into my wardrobe but I still love my typical preppy outfit. In my outfit today, I’m rocking my new favorite pair of leather boots that I got while I was in Italy. Black boots are probably my go-to shoe in the wintertime because you can wear them with practically anything. You can never go wrong with a classic pair of black boots. They can be dressed down with jeans and a basic T-shirt. They can also be dressed up and paired with a nice dress, like I did. Today, I decided to get a bit dressier by pairing my leather boots with a black and white checkered dress with bell sleeves. For jewelry, I’m wearing a pearl statement necklace. Pearl necklaces are always a perfect wardrobe staple. They are great if you want to dress up your outfit and make it a bit classier. Lastly, I finished off my look with my favorite silver watch.

I am so excited to be writing for CollegeFashionista! I can’t wait to learn more about fashion and share all of my passions with all of you! I can’t wait to have a #RAD semester!
