This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UFL chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

I saw this stylish collegiette by Century Tower Wednesday morning. From far away, her bold and bright outfit choice caught my attention, and I knew I had to ask for a photo. Even though she was hustling to class, she was more than happy to spare a little time to chat about her fashion choice. This fashionista is very fond of dresses like the one she’s wearing here because she’s accustomed to the South Florida heat. The latest streak of hot weather in Gainesville has nothing on her!

Name: Alyssa
Age: 19
Year: Freshman
Major: Biology
Outfit Info: Dress is American Rag from Macy’s, the jean jacket is from her childhood (90s vintage!), and the shoes were a birthday gift.
Favorite stores: Forever 21 and Cotton On
Fashion inspiration: Lea Michele because she’s a singer too!
Description of her style in one word: Classy
