Fashion pick: “Tacky-chic” sweater
Where is it from? Goodwill
Why is it your choice? It is so…unexpected.  I have never seen another sweater like it and it makes me feel as though I’m an 80s diva…I think that goes to show you that you shouldn’t take fashion too seriously.

Major: Music/ English double major with an emphasis in creative writing.
Hometown: Chicago, IL
Fasion Pick: My bright red scarf!
Where is it from? A thrift store that my mom and I always shop at.
Why is it your choice? I own a lot of black/grey/brown clothing, so it’s nice to have accessories that bring some color into whatever I’m wearing. This scarf is my favorite because it brightens up the winter season and makes me happy!

Year: 2015
Major: English/Spanish Area Studies double major with an emphasis in creative writing.
Hometown: La Canada Flintridge, CA (suburb of LA)
Fashion Pick: Beaded top
Where is it from? Topshop at Nordstrom
Why is it your choice? My mom surprised me with this top over Winter Break. I love everything she gives me, and all my vintage jewelry, hats, and clothes were passed down to me from her, some all the way from my great-grandmother. She’s pretty adventurous and when I was younger sometimes she’d buy me something I’d be afraid to wear, but she knows me so well that even if it’s something I wouldn’t have picked myself, I end up loving it!
