Last week we got a visit from the always-fashionable People StyleWatch who transformed the student union into a style studio fit for the trendiest BU Terrier. StyleWatch editor Joiee Thorpe transported us to a trendsetter’s paradise! Finding the latest trends at Nordstrom Rack, she packed our style studio with pieces to cover us for every event of the semester.
We thought we were taking a break from our studies when we paid Joiee a visit. But we were definitely wrong! She schooled us on finding designer duds with student funds. Joiee’s go-to brand is Nordstrom Rack…She feels like a savvy shopper, aka a “shopping genius”, when she is able to get designer brands at up to 70% off!
Take warning, daring patterns ahead for fall! Watch out for funky prints, like the Parker pant (similar here), $60. Wear these statement pants loud and proud. “You can even pair them with a blazer if you are interviewing in a creative field or pair with a moto jacket and flats for casual fun events,” said Joiee.
Faux furs are yet another fabulous fall staple we embrace at BU. Lucky for us, the trend hasn’t faded. We all know New England weather can be a bit tricky. But with a faux fur vest like the Via Spiga V-Neck Faux Fur Vest (similar here), $76, you can easily transition your wardrobe from fall to winter.
You’ll certainly need a fashion forward accessory to complement your Nordstrom Rack faux fur and cropped pants. The Rebecca Minkoff Bag Elle Mini with Studs (similar here), $279, takes the boxy bag trend to the next level. “This bag does it all! The boxy structure and top handle make it so professional, but the studs add some personality and the cross-body strap makes it casual enough for class,” added Joiee.
We can’t neglect our wardrobes just because we’re boggged down with classes, jobs, and extracurriculars. If there is one thing I learned from StyleWatch’s Nordstrom Rack styling (and college, if we want to address the reason we’re all here!), it’s that knowledge is power….so consider me a newfound shopping genius!
