Fashion to some is a way of competing with others, and to some it’s a way dressing for themselves.
For Candyce Pettinari, junior, business management major; fashion is a way of showcasing your personality.
“Your style says a lot about your personality; I don’t dress for other people,” said Pettinari. “I try to dress in things that make me feel good about myself.”
Almost everyone has a style inspiration or multiple ones and to Pettinari, it’s J-Lo.
“She always has a different look and keeps it classy,” said Pettinari.
Pettinari is open to many different styles.
“I try to mix it up, trendy, but not over the top,” said Pettinari.
Pettinari wears, royal blue wool, with leather sleeves and pockets from Ruby and Jenna. The pants are from Forever 21.
“I like to shop wherever I get the best bargains-Forever 21, Ruby and Jenna, and definitely the sale rack at Lord & Taylor; where you can pick up nice stuff at half off,” said Pettinari.
