It’s a Pirate’s Life

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

It felt like the entire campus was dead last weekend as waves of UF students traveled to Tampa for The Gasparilla Pirate Festival. Even the days after, students were still sporting pirate-themed garments. Holly Hayes, a 19-year-old advertising sophomore, was one example of this. I spotted her on Sorority Row wearing a fabulous skull-printed scarf. Read more to learn about Holly and her style!

Name: Holly Hayes Age: 19 Year: Sophomore Major: Advertising What brands are you wearing? “The scarf is from Cotton-On, the chambray shirt and leggings are from Forever 21, the shoes are from DSW, and the bracelets are David Yurman and Alex and Ani.” Where do you like to shop? “I love Urban Outfitters, Henri Girl, and J.Crew.” What inspired this look? “Gasparilla inspired my outfit; the skull scarf was originally purchased for it. An unfortunate turn of events prevented me from going, but I thought I’d wear it anyways!” What are your favorite trends right now? “I like anything trendy, comfy, and affordable.” Describe your style in two words. “Trendy chic.”
