Hey 2018!

Starting college means having a new chance to entirely reinvent yourself, and what better way to reinvent yourself than to start your own style metamorphosis? With the right basics, you have the proper canvas to show your fellow Stags just how unique and fabulous you are. Here are just some of the important pieces you’ll want to make sure that you have to put in your dorm closet on move-in day!

  • Leggings. You’ll find soon that putting on real pants for your 8 a.m. class (or even your 12:30, really) is a major struggle. Leggings let you feel like you’re in pajamas, but you’ll still look put-together.
  • Heeled ankle boots. These are the perfect footwear to take any outfit from blah to stylist instantly. A chunky heel is easy to walk in, and is still casual enough to not look like you’re trying too hard.
  • Oversized pullover sweater. This is another easy yet fashionable choice. You can show a little shoulder if you wanna look flirty, and the extra-long sleeves will make you feel cute and cozy.
  • Black bodycon skirt. This is an essential staple in every college girl’s wardrobe.  You’ll find soon that one of the biggest parts of your weekend nights is trying to figure out what to wear to that Townhouse party your friend told you about. With a good fitting black bodycon skirt, all you need is to figure out what shirt and shoes to wear (and lucky for you, living in the dorms means having all your friends’ closets to browse through, too).
  • Maxi dress/skirt. One of the best things about Fairfield is all the parties at the beach, and anytime you make it down there during the day for festivities, a maxi dress or skirt will solve all your fashion problems. It’s easy, comfortable, and will help keep your legs warm on particularly breezy days.
  • Statement jewelry. Whether it’s a necklace, big cocktail ring or shiny bangles, the right jewelry will help vamp up your outfit, and also allow you to show even more of your magnificent style.

Your personal style will change and evolve over these next four years, but it never hurts to come in armed with the necessities. You’ll find soon that clothes you loved a year ago suddenly look entirely unappealing to you, and that’s okay!

College is a time for growth, and this is only the beginning of an amazing journey. Look for more fashion columns from me over the school year, and remember, if you wear what makes youfeel good, you’ll always look amazing, no matter what the trends may be.

Have a fabulous orientation, and welcome to Fairfield!

Love,

Dre
