Trendsetter Tuesday: Besties at the Beach

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

 

This past Friday, sophomores dressed their very best to celebrate reaching the halfway point in their college careers. They gathered at Penfield Beach for FUSA’s first annual Halfway to the Beach dinner dance. The event called for attire that was a welcome switch-up to our usual going out looks. Trendsetters Gabby Cutrali and Julie Mikolajczyk both dressed to impress.

Despite the fact that it was still relatively chilly, these two definitely channeled the event’s ~beachy vibes~ and opted for semi-formal attire that was perfect for the occasion. Gabby chose a super flattering periwinkle wrap dress from Charlotte Russe, and Julie wore a bright red romper with flowy sleeves from Bebe. Both looks allowed them to ~dance the night away~ while still looking their absolute best. Their matching beach waves and sunny dispositions were the perfect accessories to their outfits!

With the season of weddings, spring flings, and graduations right around the corner, take notes from these ladies to put together the perfect look for your next big event. Share your outfits with us by tagging @hcfairfieldu and follow this week’s Trendsetters, @gabcutrali and @julie_miko!
