Street Style - Lauren Skarratt

This semester I haven’t seen many students sporting a Boho Chic style so I was thrilled when I saw this Fashionista. Black is a reoccurring shade that I have seen a variety of students wearing on campus and I think it’s a popular shade on the high street and a lot of people tend to go for it as it’s an easy shade to wear. This week’s Fashionista is definitely rocking a Boho Chic style with the added sleekness and elegance.

 Name: Lauren Skarratt

Major: Fashion Promotion

Year: Freshman

CollegeFashionista: What are you wearing and where is it from?

Lauren Skarratt: Today I am wearing a pair of the Leigh jeans from Topshop with a black lace top from Zara with a jacket that is also from Zara. I’ve gone for black boots with this outfit today that are also from Topshop and added one of my favourite hand bags from Zara.

CF: What inspires your style?

LS: I have so many different inspirations when it comes to outfit choices and buying new pieces for my wardrobe. I often find myself looking through different magazines and different blogs to find out what is popular on the high street. Lauren Conrad and Alexa Chung are huge style icons for me and I always love to look at what they’re wearing. Coco Chanel is one of my favourite designers and I find that the classic and elegant designs influence me when I’m putting an outfit together.

CF: What are your favourite items in your wardrobe?

LS: I really do have a lot of favourite pieces in my wardrobe but my all-time favourite has to be a cream blouse embellished with pearls. I brought the blouse about two years ago for my birthday from Miss Selfridge and it’s just one of those items that I don’t ever want to throw away, it’s just too beautiful to get rid of.

CF: What’s next on your shopping list?

LS: Next on the shopping list for me is most definitely a new dress. At the moment I only really have a couple of dresses sat in my wardrobe that I wear. I want a new evening dress that I can dress up with lots of different accessories for a night out or even for a meal out so I’m going to be hunting on the high street for a new dress!

HowTo: This Fashionista has such a simple outfit but it looks so effortlessly chic and elegant. To achieve a look like this a pair of Topshop Leigh jeans are a must; in fact, they’re a must for any fashionista to have in their wardrobe! If you’re not feeling a Boho chic outfit swap the black lace top for a coloured chiffon shirt with a leather jacket to give it a rock and roll feel.
