How would you describe your personal style?
-I would describe my personal style as classic. I tend to gravitate towards classic pieces that can go with anything...it allows me to mix and match my pieces easier. I also love a pop of color which usually happens through accessories. In this outfit it's my grandma's turquoise ring. Other times the pop of color can usually be found in a necklace, bracelet, or earrings.
You're a college student, what's your tip for having a great style on a budget?
-My tip for fashion on a budget would be to buy classic pieces! Buy something that will go with anything, usually this can be found by buying a neutral color. Accessories tend to be cheaper, so jazz up the outfits with accessories. Don't spend money on lots of expensive tops! Also, my secret........the Gap. hello great sales! They go through their merchandise really fast so you can always get a great sale item that's appropriate for the current season.
What is your favorite accessory for fall?
-My favorite accessory for fall has to be riding boots! You can find me in a pair of leather riding boots paired with skinnies 3 of the 4 seasons of the year. As it gets colder....add wool socks. It's perfect not only for fall but winter (and spring) as well.
What is your number one piece of style advice?
-My number one piece of style advice would have to be not to be too matchy-matchy. There is nothing worse than someone thinking they have to match all their items perfectly. Play with opposite bolds, especially with accessories. Also experiment with different textures. This will really make your outfit pop.
