The campus was eerily empty last week week! Those lucky enough to leave early fled Gainesville to go home for Thanksgiving break, but I still managed to spot some fashion on campus! On my way to class I found Aretha, an 18-year-old freshman, wearing a stylish maxi skirt and trendy beanie. Her neutral color scheme and warm layers were perfect for the dreary weather. Read more to learn more about her style!
 

Name: Aretha Donkor

What are you wearing? “The jacket is from Ross; the skirt and tank are from Wet Seal; and, the earrings are Forever 21.”

Where do you like to shop? “I love Urban Outfitters, although I only shop at the clearance section because it’s so expensive! I also love Forever 21, Cotton On, and shopping online.”

What inspired this outfit? “It was so humid out, so I didn’t want to wear my hair down. I put on the beanie and then styled the rest of the outfit around the bohemian vibe.”

What are your favorite trends right now? “I love the pleather skirts, shorts, and leggings that we are seeing everywhere. I also love scarves and tribal headbands.”

Describe your style in two words. “Carefree and indie”
