CollegeFashionista: Do you stick to one style on a day-to-day basis or does it change often?
Jessica Ciesielski: I think my style is kind of boho casual, but some days I choose to completely change it up! A new day calls for a new style.
CF: Where do you seek style inspiration?
JC: I usually look for style inspiration on Pinterest or the Nordstrom and Free People apps. They are always posting trendy new things on these apps, which I then use for inspiration.
CF: What is your favorite look or clothing item this fall? Why?
JC: My favorite clothing item this season is definitely a sweater! It’s a nice way to make a statement while still keeping warm and cozy.
CF: If you could shop at one store for the rest of your life, what would it be?
JC: I would shop at Nordstrom for the rest of my life if I could. Every time I walk into a Nordstrom it’s like entering the gateway to heaven. The options are endless!
How To: Hunter green is the focus of the fashion world this fall. This Fashionista incorporates this “it-color” into her wardrobe with a fabulous lightweight jacket that pairs perfectly with her chunky cream sweater and dark skinny jeans. She accessorizes with black combat boots (another fall necessity) and a floral statement necklace. Her look is fairly simple to imitate and incorporates a lot of great fall pieces that can easily be worn throughout the winter months as well. Switch up her look by pairing a sweater with a skater skirt and a pair of opaque tights. This outfit would also look great with a leather bomber jacket.
