When I’m scouting looks for CollegeFashionista, I try not to force it. I let the amazing fashion of BU come to me, whether it be in the form of a sliver of silver or a flash of pastel. Today, I was almost overwhelmed by the Fashionista’s eye for fashion, and she was only sitting on a bench!
Name: Lauren Baral
Year: Sophomore
Major: Biology
CollegeFashionista: What is your favourite part about this outfit?
Lauren Baral: My boots. They’re Steve Madden and I just got them. I had to special order them because the store only had them in black. I just saw them one day and was drawn to them!
CF: Describe your personal style in three words.
LB: comfortable, urban and fun.
CF: Where do you like to shop?
LB: L.F., Urban Outfitters and Free People. But mostly L.F.
CF: What’s the best piece of fashion advice you can give to other Fashionistas?
LB: That you should dress for yourself. Just because there’s no cute boy that you’re trying to impress, it doesn’t mean that you should dress your best just for you.
How To: Lauren’s fresh look is easily duplicable. Layer a light jacket over a fancy top with dark denim. Bulky boots are a fantastic touch, but you can also try booties if that’s more your style. Keep your jewellery light like Lauren did, with a few choice pieces like these rings and grab your favourite tote. Voila.
