Street style has evolved over the past few years. No longer is it something that’s only available IRL. Instead you can constantly be inspired while mindlessly scrolling on Instagram every night.
Luckily for us here at CollegeFashionista, our community of Style Gurus offer a steady stream of fashion inspo. These Style Gurus show us that #ootd isn’t just a one time thing, it’s a lifestyle. (And for those of you interested in joining that “lifestyle,” be sure to apply to be a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista.)

“I would describe my style as quirky and playful. A lot of the pieces I wear are thrifted, so it’s always fun for me to combine vintage pieces with new ones. It’s important for me to love what I wear, it serves as a confidence booster and a way for me to feel comfortable with myself.” @brisaamarr
“I find my style to be pretty simple. I get a lot of inspiration from French It-Girls per se like Jeanne Damas and Camille Rowe. I pretty much throw on my favorite vintage Levi’s and one of the blouses I’ve picked up along the way at flea markets and vintage shops and head out. I also really like small handbags and funky earrings when I want to add a little something fun.” @elizagracehuber
“My style tends to not follow any rules, and instead, it goes along with what feels more personal to me on a specific day. One day, I’ll be wearing a simple sun dress and slides, and the next I’ll be wearing a full denim look with way too many accessories. There’s hardly any consistency.” @fracturedaesthetic
“After having spent the past two summers in Manhattan and Los Angeles my sense of style has definitely become bolder and riskier as I’m wearing more interesting cuts and experimenting with different trends and colors. My favorite pieces to wear are menswear blazers, vintage sunglasses, and floral dresses and I will forever be inspired by 1960s Parisian street style.” @katilyn_perry
“I believe that fashion isn’t about the brands, it’s about how you put the pieces together. Being in New York I have felt a sense of freedom with my street style opposed to being back in Florida. It’s quite amazing actually. The streets become your runway and you get to show the world your personal style.” @lovelyykelly
“I love how “street style” has become its own fashion category. To me, it means playing with different styles and making them your own to fit with who you are. I’ve always described my style as ever-changing because I don’t want to limit myself to just one category. New York is the perfect canvas to establish your style and I feel like I’ve learned and seen so much by simply walking around the city” @maddyhaller
“My style is all about being who you truly are and expressing it through the clothes you wear. It embraces being the different and unique person at each of us are. nothing is off-limits to me and how I dress! What I love most about my style is that it can change every single day. It’s all about what is inspiring me that day. Whether it be a photo I saw on Pinterest, A post I saved on Instagram, or even remembering a manikin in a store that I loved, I pull inspiration from every where. Lately I’ve been really inspired by vintage clothes and different decades styles. my mom always told me when I was little that I was an old soul and it’s definitely coming out a lot recently in my style!” @mmoorhead24
“I always say this and I will continue to stand by it, my style is ever changing. I don’t necessarily believe in trends, I just wear whatever I want and whatever makes me feel good!” @samanthaneira
“My style is typically very minimal and a little sporty. I tend to gravitate towards menswear pieces and looser silhouettes. I love a loose button down top with a pair of wide leg trousers and white sneakers.” @taylorknoxx

“Buddy brew is my favorite place! Not only does their coffee wake me up and have an outstanding taste, but the atmosphere of the shop is so inviting and comfortable to hangout in.” 
“In Dallas there is a place called Sipstir that is soooo good!! It’s such a great coffee shop because the coffee is really good! I love coffee shops that serve caramel as an option and this shop does!” 
“Ralph’s. NYC hands down has the best coffee spots. There are plenty of cute cafes and aesthetically pleasing Insta-worthy spots; you can’t go wrong.” 
“Brewhemia has super delicious unique drink creations such as ‘The bohemian’ which has cold pressed brew, milk, and vanilla!” 
“If a coffee crawl was a thing Astro Coffee would be at the top of the list. It’s delicious drink options and overall aesthetic makes it #1 in my book.” 
Talking is the key to everything. In order to have a good relationship you have to talk about how you feel. If something is bothering you talk to your roommate about it. However, make sure you are willing to compromise and explain your reasoning.
When you are first moving in, be upfront about what you expect. Nothing is worse than getting mad at your roommate halfway through the lease about something they didn’t even know bothered you.
Treat others the way you want to be treated. You hopefully already live by this motto; but when living with roommates it’s even more important. Be respectful of not only the person but their stuff. Ask before borrowing anything and always return stuff in the same condition you found them.
This is a roommate deal breaker. (Is it just me?) Your roommate is not your cleaning lady or mom. At least try and pick up after yourself. Clean your own dishes, don’t leave the common areas a mess, and, yes, you may have to scrub the toilet. Although it may not be how you want to spend your Saturday, having a clean dorm or home will lift the mood and keep petty roommate tiffs to a minimum.
Nothing will make you more connected to your roommate than spending time together both at your shared residence and away. If you don’t put in the effort neither will they. Ask your new roommate to grab a cup of coffee. Make it a Sunday ritual to go grocery shopping together. Offer to borrow your parent’s Netflix password for a girl’s night in. You never know you might meet your new best friend. (I certainly did.)
Whether your still searching for a roommate or already have a place, being flexible is a must. Whether that’s making compromises on decor, negotiating shower schedules, or sharing fridge space, being flexible not only makes you a more understanding roommate but shows you care about the other persons well being.
