STYLE GURU BIO: Lilian Pham

September 2nd, 2015 at 2:10am

Hello fellow Fashionistas/os! I am Lilian Pham, a freshman Art major at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Fall is my absolute favorite season. It is not too cold or too hot, and I definitely do not have to suffer the horrible allergies of spring. Therefore, fall is the perfect weather to dress up or down in the perfect outfit, since there are no excuses. That must also be the explanation as to why I feel so good during the fall season. Dress good, feel good—and that is the power of fashion and why I am absolutely crazy about it. Fashion is that dose of herbal tea that boosts confidence.

Growing up in Las Vegas, I am a huge city girl. My style is very urban and edgy. I am in love with that soft punk, grunge style. I love mixing comfortable with edgy. In my outfit I am wearing a simple, fitted black T-shirt paired with high-waisted denim shorts. I love love love tights. I think that they are so stylish and can be added to nearly any outfit to give it that cute edge, whether it be under shorts, a skirt or a dress. I mostly wear tights that are more muted in colors. It is a lot edgier and is perfect for Fall. In this outfit, the black tights definitely bring out the edginess in the outfit, while complimenting the comfort in the T-shirt.

To top this outfit off, I accessorized myself with a pair of comfy Dr. Martens’ Woolwich Mary Janes and a Fossil city bag. I actually picked up the bag in the men’s department. I though it looked a lot cooler that the women’s “glitz and glam” cross-body bags. It was a lot more toned down yet still fashionable, and the size actually suits a women’s shape pretty well.

This outfit really says a lot about myself. It is laid-back, yet perfect for going out to rock concerts (which I really love to do) or shopping (which I also really love to do). So I hope you enjoyed this post as well as my outfit. There will be more to come as I go on my college journey. Stay beautiful and rock on!
