STYLE GURU BIO: Melody Afzalirad

My name is Melody Afzalirad, and I am a rising senior at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am majoring in marketing with plans on attending graduate school; I wish to pursue a corporate level job one day. My dream would be to live in a big city like New York or Los Angeles. I love hot weather and the beach, so I am probably aiming more towards the second one.

I grew up in Williamsburg, Virginia. I currently still spend most of my summers here. Williamsburg is a cute small town and the style here is mostly preppy.

I attend college in Richmond, Virginia. Richmond is a very urbanized city with a diverse group of people. There are so many different styles here. People are not afraid to stand out and express themselves. We have everything from bohemian, hipster, soft grunge and even preppy.

I really do not know how to describe my style because I think I am a mixture of different types of styles.  I have gone through many different phases growing up and I think my style now portrays all of those phases. I would definitely describe myself as a beach girl and I would have to say summer is my favorite season, clothing and weather wise. I am that girl that owns 100 bathing suits, but then only two pairs of shoes.

In my free time, I enjoy singing and playing the piano. I find that both fashion and music are outlets that people can express themselves through. There is no right or wrong way to dress, and there are no rules.

This outfit that I put together portrays how I dress on a regular day. I wanted to show how I truly would go out on an average summer day.

I hope you all enjoy reading my posts all summer long!
