FOLLOWING ARTICLE FROM COLLEGEFASHIONISTA.COM:
As campuses across the nation take that cumbersome leap from summer to fall, there stands a challenge to simultaneously transition your style and mirror the fluctuating temperatures. While Missoni previously reigned with her signature zig-zag knitwear, her throne might soon be debunked. As Marcus Lupfer emerges with unique embellished knitwear for his Resort 2012 collection andPrada parades around the perfect chunky cable-knit cardigan for the fall season, we start to question why we haven’t pulled out that knit sweater sitting at the back of our closets all summer. I met this adorable Fashionista walking on the quad on her way to class. CiCi completely nailed the awkward metamorphosis into the fall weather by pairing a simple H&M dress with a throw over knit. Adding tights and bold Doc Marten inspired boots bound the look together as well as kept her legs at a comfortable temperature.
Name: CiCi Guo
Major: Economics
Year: Freshman
CollegeFashionista: What trends are you personally excited for this fall?
CiCi Guo: I think this fall is all about the layering and I am excited to combine lots of different elements into my wardrobe. I am very into chunky rings embedded with large stones, big cross necklaces and large black sunglasses.
CF: Who would you say your stylistic influences are?
CG: Anne Hathaway is very classy and has a beautiful style and Lady Gaga inspires me to be confident in what I wear. She has great styling ideas everyone can pull a little bit from.
CF: Who are your favorite design powerhouses?
CG: Prada and Versace.
CF: What are some essential pieces in your fashion closet?
CG: I love the styling influences of the gothic culture and like to incorporate these items into my wardrobe such as chunky combat boots, dark tights and lots of black. A good red or black nail always ties a look together.
How To: To emulate CiCi’s weather appropriate look, think layers. Throw on this lightweight double layered Free People dress from Asos and cover it with a simple knit pullover from Nasty Gal. If you are inspired by CiCi’s gothic influences, try a fierce deep red nail by Essie and throw on a cross necklace from Forever21. Polish off your look with a pair of heeled Doc Martins. This style will not only leave you perfectly comfortable in the changing weather, but also leave you perfectly fashionable.
Style On,
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
