STYLE GURU BIO: Kija Chronister

Hello everybody! My name is Kija Chronister and I am a returning Style Guru for the third semester now. I’m currently a sophomore communication studies major at Temple University in the City of Brotherly Love and home of the most amazing cheesesteaks, Philadelphia. I grew up in a small rural town so living the city life is very different, but also extremely exciting and I love exploring Philadelphia one street at a time.

Personally, my style is quite simplistic with subtle pops of color through accessories or stable clothing articles. My color palette consists of mostly neutral colors, and I can almost guarantee I always have something black on. Another way I like to spice up my style is through layering. This allows me to bundle up because I’m always cold, but also gives me the freedom to play around with different colors, patterns, and clothing pieces. This outfit I am wearing perfectly represents my simplistic style with a little spice.

My black jeans are my go-to piece because they are a great base to any outfit. Staying with my neutral colors I take a simple white top and throw on a dainty necklace to add a little pop to the outfit. One of my favorite colors to wear is olive green so of course I top this outfit off with an olive green bomber jacket. My lace-up flats spice up the look along with the red velvet crossbody bag. You can catch me wearing this outfit in Center City trying to find some of the best cafés.

Outside of fashion, I enjoy writing and am very passionate about music. I have been to over 30 concerts and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Like how music gives you the freedom of expression, I believe fashion gives you that freedom as well and you can really learn about a person just by their style.

I am super excited to be back with CollegeFashionista and I cannot wait to see what is in store!
