Hey Fashionistas! My name is Marleen and I am a sophomore studying journalism and international studies at the University of Iowa. I've had an appreciation for fashion since I was a young girl, inspired by my mother's keen eye for putting outfits together for my sister and me. I think fashion is an art and I hope to incorporate it into my writing as I aspire to become a journalist in the international magazine world. Though I look to the runway for the most current styles, I also love to find similar designs at bargain prices (also inspired by my mother). I express myself everyday through my clothes and love finding unique pieces at thrift stores and boutiques.
