In Her Campus’ series Closet Check, we’re getting a look inside the closet of a college student and learning all about how they put together their favorite outfits. In this piece, we talk to Skyy Walker-Davis, a grad student at Vanderbilt who loves to switch up her shoes as much as her outfits.

The Closet Check
In my new apartment, I have two sides to my closet, and that has made all the difference! I try to keep things color-coordinated as well, but because I have a shopping addiction I’m adding stuff every week, and it sometimes gets out of wack!
There’s a lot going on in my closet, but I promise there is a method to the madness. I also have entirely too many pairs of sneakers because I’m a sneakerhead, so there’s even more shoes stacked on shelves under the clothes that are hanging. I have so many — there’s probably still 200+ pairs in my closet at home, too!
Creating The Fits
Putting together my outfits depends on my mood, if my hair is done, and the weather. I really like to play around with colors and colorblocking. But if my hair isn’t done? You can forget it. A matching jogging suit set it is! I also try not to repeat the same shoes often, since I have so many. I keep a strategic rotation, so I never feel like I’m in the same thing too often.
What I’d Wear: On A Date Night
A Fashion Nova FIT! The dress is Fashion Nova and boots are SHEIN. My glasses are from Tiffany & Co. I love the way I felt in the dress. I felt confident and beautiful!
What I’d Wear: To An Internship Interview
I love a good cardigan! They’re truly my current obsession. Beyond that, the pants are Jordan, and I always feel confident wearing anything from that brand.
What I’d Wear To: A House Party
Another Fashion Nova fit — they really get all of my coins! 😂 The shoes are a Billie Eillish x Jordan collab. I love to be comfortable more than anything, so you’ll see my go-to is always a pair of Js. Little T, big pants is the way for me!
What I’d Wear To: Class
Another cardigan — I told you! Actually found this one at a grocery store (weird, I know), but she’s quickly become a favorite for me! At my business school, the attire is business casual, but I typically freestyle because I refuse to be confined to a blazer and button down every day!
