STYLE GURU BIO: Rachel Gregson

Hi everyone!

Since my sophomore year at Virginia Commonwealth University, CollegeFashionista has been a huge part of my life and I couldn’t be more excited to return for yet another semester. At school I’m majoring in fashion merchandising with a media studies minor and absolutely love it. I think that it’s important to find something you love doing and invest everything you have into it. Lucky for me, I’ve been fortunate enough to find a major that I adore and plan on pursuing a job in the fashion industry once I graduate.

The thing I like most about fashion is seeing how much it varies from person to person. Especially at an urban campus like Virginia Commonwealth University, you really get to see all of the fun things you can do with clothes and accessories. The sense individuality and diversity in both the people and fashion is one of the best things about going to college in the city.

My personal style is very classic and simple. I love makeup, shoes, and rings and I think that the perfect lip color can completely transform an outfit. My closet consists of a lot of basics that I dress up with fun shoes and makeup. Although I don’t like the cold winter weather, I do love being able to wear my favorite pair of boyfriend jeans. Jeans are so easy to dress up or down so I can wear them to class or when I go out. For basic everyday wear, I usually pair them with booties and a white T-shirt then add some jewelry. Rings are by far my favorite accessory, and over the years I’ve begun to buy one from every place I travel as a souvenir. Wearing my favorite rings is like a little reminder of my trip so I always try to incorporate a few of them into every outfit.
