How would you describe your style?

I would say that my style is pretty eclectic, and tends to change depending on my mood.  I love clothes and trying different combinations of pieces, but I’m not a huge accessories person.  

How do you plan on incorporating your style into your work wear?

My office is business casual, so there is more flexibility than some jobs.  When I was interning there over the summer, my favorite thing to do was incorporate one really fun element to every outfit, like a colored pant or a patterned belt.  It still looked professional, but wasn’t quite so basic. 

How would you describe style on campus? 

I would say that style on campus is really diverse.  Even my roommates and I have very different styles.  It’s funny because we have some of the same pieces, but we wear them in such different ways.  I think that’s true for campus as well.  I see outfits every day that inspire me to try something new! 

How do you plan to stay stylish and comfortable for exam week?

I definitely pick cozy library clothes for studying and sometimes even take a blanket, but I like to dress up to sit for exams.  I usually wear some of my favorite outfits on exam days.  I have always heard that if you are confident, then you perform better!
