STYLE GURU BIO: Anna Trenkamp

Hello fellow Fashionistas!

My name is Anna Trenkamp and I am senior merchandising, apparel and textiles major at the University of Kentucky.  This is my first semester writing for CollegeFashionista and I could not be more excited! Growing up I loved getting to go shopping with my mom;we would hit up our favorite consignment shop at least once a week to see what treasures we could find. We never knew what we would find, which is what made it so much fun; it pushed me to really think about the clothes and how I could manipulate them to look fabulous.

Like probably many of my readers, I spend a majority of my time obsessing about clothes, not only what to wear but how to fit it all into my closet. Although those are two things I struggle with a lot, I also struggle with wanting to look fashionable while obtaining the comfort level of pajamas with my everyday clothing. This is why dresses are a staple item in my summer wardrobe.

Turtleneck dress, vest with fringe and gladiator sandals—so much trend in one outfit.  The dress featured in this article is great for many casual occasions or even just running errands on a summer day. I usually wear it with my gladiator sandals, while switching out the other accessories to change it up. Fringe is in; the fringe vest was bought last year but I have still been able to rock it with many of outfits.  It gives the basic dress just the right amount of spunk to catch people’s attention.

I can’t wait to write about more trends that are going on this summer and all the new looks that are popping up around Lexington. Keep up with my articles for more summer fashion fun and advice!
