STYLE GURU BIO: Jami Lapinson

Hello Fashionistas and Fashionistos! My name is Jami Lapinson and this is my second semester as a CollegeFashionista Style Guru. As the summer semester ends and with the fall semester beginning, I am excited for a fresh start and new school year.

Let me tell you a little about myself. I am going into my second year at the Fashion Institute of Technology, FIT, in New York City. I study Accessories Design, which means I design and create shoes, handbags, belts and hats. Accessories are my favorite part of an outfit, so this semester you will see how accessories can change an entire look. Living in the heart of New York City has been an absolute dream. Being absorbed into the crazy culture has definitely changed my style since moving.

Since it still feels like summer, but we are headed into the autumn season, I wanted to incorporate that into this look. Overalls were a staple for me this summer, and I will definitely be wearing them this fall as well. Today’s overalls are blue and white pinstripes. Instead of my normal summer white top, I switched it up with a black ¾ sleeve top. I loaded on the accessories with my favorite kate spade watch and fun druzy bracelets. I layered a statement necklace and finished my look with black sunglasses, a necessity for any season. For shoes, I wore these platform sandals with rhinestone accents.

I am excited to share my style, as well as other FIT students’ style, this semester! So, get ready for more fun looks to come!
