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

Name: Rachel Channell

Major: Theatre and English

Hometown: Elkins, W.Va.

Campus Involvement: Alpha Psi Omega (Theater honorary)

Her Campus: How would you describe your style?
Rachel Channell: A little bit bohemian, a little bit biker. 

HC: Where are your favorite places to shop?
RC: Anywhere cheap – Consignment stores, Marshalls and Forever 21.

HC: What are some of your favorite trends right now?
RC: I love that crosses are popular in prints and jewelry. It’s almost like Madonna is making a comeback. Asymmetrical skirts are fun, too.          

HC: If you could raid any celebrity’s closet, whose would it be and why?
RC: Lana Del Rey. She’s 50% stone-cold badass and 50% first lady. Or Miranda Kerr, because she makes heels and leggings look socially acceptable. 

HC: Do you have a favorite designer? If so, who?
RC: I feel like the Prabal Gurung collections always manage to be edgy while still complementing the natural line of the body.

HC: If you could live in any era for its style, which would you choose?
RC: The mid 1600s, so I could be a pirate.

HC: Would you rather splurge on jewelry, shoes or purses?
RC: Shoes.     

HC: What is the process you go through when selecting an outfit?
RC: I tend to try on about 20 articles of clothing each morning before throwing them all on the floor and bed, deciding that I hate everything I own, and putting the first outfit back on.      

HC: What do you feel most confident wearing?
RC: Can’t go wrong with black jeans and a leather jacket.   

HC: How do you dress for the unpredictable Buckhannon weather?
RC: I bought an umbrella that matches my rain boots. 

HC: Do you have a favorite color(s) to wear?
RC: Not really, but I tend to wear a lot of dark clothing

HC: How has your style changed since entering college, if at all?
RC: No, not too much. 

HC: What advice would you give girls who are looking to improve their style?
RC: Look for what you feel comfortable in and what compliments your body shape. Throw out all of your fanny packs and slap bracelets, and absolutely NO Crocks-in-socks.     

There you have it, collegiettes!
