STYLE GURU BIO: Alexis Monroy

Greetings! I am a transfer student at The Illinois Institute of Art going into my junior year of college. Super excited for this years internship with College Fashionista!

If I could describe my fashion style in one sentence, it would be “I wear what makes me happy.” Living and going to school in an urban environment has really pushed me to express myself creatively in the outfits that I pick from day to day. I am especially excited for this years internship because I am living in the beautiful city of Chicago. The Art Institute is filled with a lot of creative and fashionable people who I can not wait to shoot. Coming from a small town, it was always a little intimidating to wear clothes that not everyone is used to seeing. Since high school many life changes have been made and have had many opportunities to discover my style.

In this outfit I am wearing a black overall mini dress, a black shirt underneath to give off a monochromatic look, some vintage sunglasses that I picked up, and platform booties from urban outfitters. A lot of things can inspire a good outfit! Whether the inspiration was from a t.v show or a fashion magazine. I would describe this outfit as a look you could wear out for lunch or a comfortable look to wear for class.

Join me every month to see what trends I find in this amazing city of Chicago!
