Button-Up to Button-Down

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

Amidst a tornado of midterms, stormy skies, brisk breezes, and chilly temperatures, these BU chicks still look fresh and cool. Emily Schwartz (COM ’12) is gearing up for spring break with her floral-print rimmed sunglasses (Urban Outfitters).  I love her grey cropped sweater over her white linen shirt, and of course, the boots; I don’t know a single girl who does not own at least two pairs of boots. Fiona Hilton’s (CFA ’14) amazingly stud-alicious pair immediately grabbed my attention. She looks like she could kick some #!* with those boots!  Alana Segura’s (CAS ’12) slouchy just-above-the-ankle boots give a great vintage edge to her outfit.  All three of these stylish ladies’ outfits contain one of my favorite clothing details: buttons! I love a great button-up shirt; be it a men’s oxford shirt over leggings, as Alana went for, or Emily’s casually chic linen button-up, or Fiona’s button-up long-sleeve T. Bust out the buttons, buckle down the books, then button-down for spring break!

Lindsey Reese is a sophomore at Boston University majoring in Print Journalism with a minor in International Relations. Hailing from down south in Waco, Texas, Lindsey decided to take the first opportunity to experience the city life in Boston. She developed a love for other cultures and saw Boston as the perfect playground for discovering new people and backgrounds. Lindsey enjoys marketing in the Public Relations Student Society of America, working for BUTV, and being a member of Alpha Epsilon Phi. Homework and clubs don't stop her from enjoying an occasional Friends marathon or going out for fro-yo with her roommates. The future holds many promises, but Lindsey has her sights on a specific dream: writing for Vogue or InStyle. Graduation might be years away, but Lindsey is ready to hit the pavement next semester looking for internships at local magazines.
