Denim Dreams

                                              Pamela, UF anthropology and history student

Pamela strolled down Newell Road in this sweet denim outfit. Her knit sweater dress is perfect for winter and adds a great contrasting texture. Keep them guessing with faux denim leggings. They’re a special way to spice up jeans and fit perfectly underneath cute boots. Buckled, chocolate boots round out the outfit and pair nicely with the navy hue of the rest of the look. Pamela loves to mix trends and says she always wears wrist-fulls of bracelets to make any look stand out.

Sugar & Spice

Kirsten, 19, UF anthropology sophomore  

We caught Kirsten leaving an anthropology class in Turlington looking 80s fierce and earthy hippie at the same time. Her denim jacket, wordly necklace and printed canvas bag scream flower child, while her knee-high boots and leather jacket point to a darker side. We love the way she can pull off cute and tough at the same time, and her fiery red hair is the icing on the cake. Kirsten describes her look as sloppy but put together. Her next investment will be really high boots. "I know this is really high already, but I want them even higher," she says. She chooses her outfit based on her moods and gets giddy over a good bargain. "I love my cheaper stuff more than a lot of my more expensive stuff," she says.

Classic Turned Trendy

Jin Hyon, UF mass communications PhD student

Jin might be a master in mass comm., but we think she may also know a thing or two about making a traditionally cute outfit trendy and chic. Her luxurious trench coat not only keeps her warm and cozy; it instantly and effortlessly brings elegance to any outfit. Its flattering mid-thigh hemline and tie-waist help Jin flatter her best features, and keep the look girly.

Her suede, to-the-knee boots are the perfect compliment to a longer coat, and the gray hue of the boots really works to break up the two pieces and allows them to be admired individually and as a whole. Jin stresses the importance of knowing the right fit for your body type and dressing accordingly in order the look your absolute best.
