As a graphic design major, this fashionista has a special eye for style. Meet this Her Campus Fahsionista, Jessica Schwartz. Jess knows how to take a simple outfit and add small touches to make it look cute! I sat with Jess to ask her about her style and her fashion influences and what stores she shops at for anyone that wants to get this cool and comfortable look!
Q: Describe what you’re wearing!
A: I am wearing a cardigan from Urban Outfitters (cute and comfy), a plain t-shirt, winter leggings from American Apparel (life savers for frigid Binghamton conditions), shoes from a random boutqiue in NYC (oxford-like style), and a long necklacke with a hamsa, and a “J” necklace.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Comfortable and cute. It’s more important to feel comfortable, and if you can pull off looking really trendy but feeling like you are in pajamas, then you have succeeded!
Q: Is there anyone who inspires your style?
A. Yes. As much as I hate to admit it, my mother. I also love 80s style so my mother, the 80s, and Mindy Kaling influenced me.
Q: What does it mean to you to be a Her Campus Fashionista?
A: It is an honor to be recognized as a fashionista by my peers since I don’t really consider myself one. Nevertheless I’m really excited!
Q: What are your favorite stores to shop at?
A: Forever 21, American Eagle, H&M, Urban Outfitters, Tobi, and Nordstrom.
Q: What fashion tips can you offer for girls?
A: Necklaces and colored eyeliner. Necklaces spice up any simple outfit, and colorful eyeliners are fun and playful.
Q: What is your biggest fashion mistake or a bad trend that you are guilty of following?
A: I had gaucho pants in 6th grade. They were HORRIBLE! Looking back at photos it makes me cringe to see my body still but my pants swaying.
