Campus Couture: Brittany, Northwestern

[While everyone is fabulous in their own right, we thought we should celebrate the campus fashionistas of the world for their continued excellence in not looking like a hot mess for class. So, we started stalking those girls on campus (like Scaachi and her gorge coat) to get a few pics and get some tips on their personal style.... And maybe a restraining order or two.

But it’s worth it to highlight fresh, unique wardrobe choices that show personality and the courage to wear what you believe in. You think you’ve got some major style? Know someone else who’s always looking ferosh? Think the world needs to see what she can do? Send us an email with some photos and she could be the next fashionista celebrated right here.]

It’s warming up at Northwestern, finally! Everywhere I go I see girls trying to figure out how to dress for the finicky weather; some in tiny shorts and flip flops, some in suede boots and dresses with tights, and everything in between. And then I saw Brittany, the perfect example of how to dress for warmish weather and still look absolutely adorable.

I love how Brittany’s look is mostly neutral, but not at all boring. From the ruffled skirt to the patterned jacket, she’s got all the right details. Then she throws in that big pop of color with that fantastic scarf! It’s gorgeous. And, true to her word, the girl knows her trends. The studded bows on her shoes are perfection. With or without the coat, this outfit is perfect for class with a cute guy, a meeting with a professor, or just walking around campus and enjoying the weather.
