Living in an apartment with seven other girls is a fashion Mecca. There is always someone around to tell you if you match, or what shoes to wear with that shirt and there are seven other closets to borrow from when you need a supplement to your own wardrobe. Yesterday, while sitting on the couch discussing this perfect living situation and how to dress for autumn in Florida, I glanced over and saw a mixture of fear and utter confusion on the face of my lovely roommate, Jeralyn Darling. I realized that Jeralyn needed more extensive advice than what color palette to wear in fall.
 Does Jeralyn’s closet even have a color palette? No. Does Jeralyn define gladiator sandals as only an accessory for burly classical era men? Why yes, she does. Can one separate Jeralyn’s clothes into two piles, jeans and t-shirts? Indeed, one can.
 Jeralyn seemingly has no interest in fashion. Seemingly… once we started discussing the topic, she admitted that living in a house with such fashion-interested women has made her want to be more style conscious herself.
 But Jeralyn finds fashion frustrating! She has trouble finding clothes that fit properly and she feels like she cannot intuitively put a stylish outfit together. She has few accessories, absolutely no dresses and all her shoes are black. On most days she wears a t-shirt, jeans and flip flops that are her roommate’s, because Jeralyn’s are broken. Here is a picture of Jeralyn’s sad, sad closet.

This must END.
With Jeralyn’s permission, we have decided to perform a fashion makeover, circa ”What Not to Wear,” but nicer. This is the last time you will see Jeralyn dressed like this:
We are going shopping! So far, it has been decided that Jeralyn definitely needs:
-A dress.
-A strap perfect so that we don’t see her bra straps with every tank top.
-Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!
-To let her hair down, literally, or at least put it up in a style other than a ponytail.
-Shirts that are more sophisticated.
If you have any other suggestions for Jeralyn’s wardrobe revamp please let us know! Â
