Street Style - Lois Dean

I haven’t seen many Fashionistas braving a skirt this semester and I was impressed when I saw this one Fashionista rocking a skirt in this cold weather! A skirt is so easy to dress up in the summer or add more layers to in the winter to wrap up for the stormy weather. As soon as I spotted this Fashionista I knew I wanted to feature her this week.

Name: Lois Dean

Major: Photography

Year: Freshman

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

Lois Dean: Today I went for a black and white hooped long sleeve top which is from New Look, with a floral print skater skirt from Topshop. I then decided to accessorise my outfit with a black jacket and chunky black boots both from New Look. I  added the necklace and the rings to my outfit which are from Shop Dixi.

CF: What inspires your style?

LD: I find inspirations for my style in everyday life; the majority comes from grunge and street style. I also like to look at different pattern and texture combinations.  I really like to try and replicate these styles in my outfit.

CF: What are your favourite items in your wardrobe?

LD: I have lots of favourite items in my wardrobe; however my current favourite item is my silk playsuit that I have from Topshop. Another favourite of mine is a black coat I have from New Look and I like to pair it with a wrap around orange scarf that I have from Zara.

CF: What is next for you on your shopping list?

LD: I don’t know if this is fashion related but I’d really love a new pair of running trainers, preferably some Nike Roshe to wear for a run and to the gym. I also think they look really nice with skinny jeans and add a bit of a tomboyish look to a sophisticated outfit.

How To: This Fashionista has braved the cold weather this week with a skirt and I think it’s great to have a statement skirt in your wardrobe. A simple baggy crop top layered with a printed skater skirt would get a look like this Fashionista. A boyfriend coat and some chunky heeled boots would help to tie to the outfit together and complete the look.
