FOLLOWING ARTICLE FROM COLLEGEFASHIONISTA.COM:
From Christian Dior’s resort 2011 runway look to Mui Mui's 2012 maroon shift dress, lace has taken over the runways. It adds a unique feminine touch to any stylistic choice, while maintaining an air of sophistication and class. I met this fashionista walking on the quad today. At first glance, Irini’s adorable pixie haircut and trench coat immediately caught my eye. But after further inspection, I realized the detail on the trench coat that really made the outfit stand out: lace. The lace embedded in the jacket was a perfect transition from the light fabrics of summer to the heavier fabrics of winter. Irini rocked this look perfectly. I talked with her about her fashion choices, personal style and upcoming fall trends.
Name: Irini Losoff - Major: English - Year: Sophomore
College Fashionista: Who inspires your fashion sense?
Irini Losoff: It depends on the kind of day. I got a lot of inspiration from working at Nordstrom. I worked in retail and we always had to dress nice.
CF: How would you describe your personal style?
IL: I would definitely say my style was dressier. I love dresses and tights. I would say I am above casual. I like to take an eclectic of pieces and throw them together to form an outfit.
CF: What trends are you excited for this fall?
IL: I am excited for sweaters. I wear them often. I also love tights and jackets.
CF: Do you have any style advice for other college aged students?
IL: Don’t feel stupid to dress up. If you feel like wearing a dress, wear it. Wear what you want to wear and don’t conform to people’s opinions.
CF: What is your favorite color palate?
IL: I would say I definitely like to pair nuetrals with a bold color. Since I love tights, I usually pair bright tights with earth tones that are more simple. I don’t like to combine 1,000 colors and patterns. I usually just stick with neutrals and add a pop.
How To: To recreate Irini’s adorable lace getup, pair a simple tee with this adorable lace skirt or these white lace shorts. For a lace top, pair casual denims with this lace cardigan with bow-pocketed detail. This will give you a more sophisticated look while still having adorable stand out details. Overall, lace is a great way to transition your clothes from day to night, work to play and business to sensual.
