Look of the Day: Chic Teach

Claire, UF elementary education student

Claire taught us how to make a classically cut dress trendy for this season near the Plaza of the Americas - and we gave her an A+. Her cream, boat neck dress can be worn for decades to come, but her thick, chocolate-colored belt makes this dress perfectly 2009-appropriate, while accentuating her small waist. Comfy leather sandals and a great turquoise ring make for a perfect day-to-day look. Claire loves sweater dresses and leggings with boots for winter, and we can’t wait to see how her outfits make the grade.
