I’ll be the first to admit that staying fashionable and on trend is quite difficult on a college student budget. One doesn’t have to necessarily dress posh every day to class, but it is especially nice from a Fashionista’s perspective to be able to let your personality shine through your wardrobe. I think this dilemma between new clothes and money arises especially in occasion where activities off campus take place. This Fashionista handled this type of situation just right.
My attraction to this Fashionista’s look was originally the functionality of her outfit. The look was intended for a spring night out in the city, which she achieved just that. Being that we are still in the phase of the weather where some days are warm and others are not, the look was intended to be prepared for both warm and cold weather.
The look achieved both a balance between both chic and street wear style. Her distressed jeans gave her the comfort of a long pant, but still cool enough to catch the spring breeze. While her graphic T-shirt played the role of tying the getup together, keeping it both fun and casual. Her accessories and shoes were the pieces in the outfit that I felt helped bring the most pizazz and personality to the look. This pair of trendy Nike sneakers helped dress down the look and keep the vibe casual and effortless. Meanwhile her statement necklace was the most engaging piece that brought both attention and confidence, essentially serving as the piece to make it concert-ready. Additionally, her leather jacket provided true functionality in keeping her warmth when the temperature dropped toward the end of the night.
The look overall incorporated pieces like the jacket and necklace that dressed it up just enough to make it functional at a concert, while the jeans and Huarache sneakers contributed to the effortless, casual outfit, that’s class and campus ready.
