Julia Cluceru

By Nan Copeland | January 11, 2012

Name: Julia Cluceru Year: Junior Major: Chemistry and Math Hometown: Stamford, Ct. I saw Julia in the bookstore and her outfit was too perfect to pass up taking a picture of. The silhouette is very similar to what many people tend to wear around campus but instead of big sweatshirts and workout leggings, she is wearing an oversized sweater she said she got at a department store and textured leggings from Forever21. The chunky gold necklace, from Madewell, and taupe boots from Aldo pull the outfit together to make it look nicer than just leggings and a sweater but still comfortable. My favorite part of interviewing Julia though was that she said her socks were her friend’s brother’s socks because it made me realize how effortless the outfit was.

Lauren Schofield

By Nan Copeland | November 30, 2011

Name: Lauren Schofield Year: Sophomore Hometown: Raleigh Major: Latin American Studies What Lauren is wearing: a vintage brown velvet blazer, vintage printed dress, black tights, Ray Ban sunglasses, and brown Frye boots. Lauren’s outfit is the perfect example of how to wear the dress and boots combination when the weather gets colder. Just add tights and a fitted jacket and you can still wear your favorite dress in the winter. Lauren said she her inspiration for fashion comes from fashion blogs and from reading Vogue magazine but also from shopping at consignment stores. Her outfit is an awesome example of how to look at glossy magazines featuring very expensive clothes and make the outfits realistic for a college student by buying vintage clothes.

Although she is from one of the most stylish cities in the world, Clare said she doesn’t follow trends and just wears what she wants. When she is getting dressed, Clare said that she picks out one outfit and then learns to work around it and pick other things that will make the outfit perfect. Recently, she said she has really loved the weather because its not sweltering hot and she can wear sweaters, particularly the one she is currently wearing.

I am particularly jealous of Maya’s dress because not only is it a great piece, but it’s also one-of-a-kind because her mom made it. Maya said she has been waiting to wear a dress with boots for a long time and now the weather is perfect for the dress and boots combination.

Clara McDonald

By Nan Copeland | October 13, 2011

Name: Clara McDonald Year: Freshmen Major: Undecided Hometown: Apex What Clara is wearing: a thrift skirt and bag, a Target top, and shoes she got as a gift. I spotted Clara outside Lenoir wearing this adorable outfit. Clara said she gets most of her style inspiration and clothes from thrift stores. It was so refreshing that Clara’s clothes weren’t branded with the hippest labels and were from accessible places like Target and thrift stores. The real standout of this outfit is the printed wrap skirt. This skirt could look like too much if it were worn with the wrong pieces, but Clara paired it with neural basics that really make the outfit work perfectly. Clara’s style advice: “Don’t be afraid to try different things.”

Campus Trend Spotter: Ankle Booties

By Becky Bush | September 30, 2011

It’s starting to get a little too chilly to wear your rainbows, jack rogers or strappy sandals around campus. The leaves are starting to crunch beneath our feet, football season is gearing up and students are starting to change their fashion to accomodate the chillier weather. One of the best and easiest ways to maket his transition is to purchase a pair of ankle booties. Not as warm as full fledged Uggs or snow boots, ankle booties still look cute with summery clothes, but make an outfit more fall-appropriate, not to mention they will keep your feet warmer! Check out sophomore Lauren Schofield wearing a pair of Frye ankle boots.
