I’m back, Fashionistas! My name is Caroline Verdic, and I am from New Jersey. I am currently a sophomore at Marist College, studying business marketing and fashion merchandising. I think it is amazing that so many people have their own unique style that fits their personality. I believe fashion is a way to express yourself through clothing and accessories. I always like to say, “Take a fashion risk, it will give people a reason to talk about you!” I live close to New York City and believe I get most of my inspiration from walking and observing the people in the city. I like to take a trend and put my own twist on it. My style changes on a daily basis. I can go from classic to boho, to trendy, to athleisure in one week! My inspiration also comes from magazines and social media. Instagram is a great source for spotting trends. I love following celebrities and trying to recreate their looks at more affordable prices.

The holidays have sadly come and gone, but it is never too late to wear a turtleneck! Today’s outfit is great for a family gathering or a night out in the city! I’m rocking a gray, choker V-neck sweater with a black skater skirt that was super cheap from Forever 21. I grabbed my black wool jacket to help keep me warm and my new Bojana Embroidered Rebecca Minkoff booties that I got for Christmas! To tie the entire outfit together, I grabbed my Kate Spade leather clutch and rose gold watch as accent pieces. This outfit combination has a few very simple pieces but also has some statement pieces to make you stand out and pop in a crowd.

These last three semesters with CollegeFashionista have been such a whirlwind! I have learned so much, from taking fashion classes at Marist to getting inspiration from my classmates to enhancing my writing skills thanks to CollegeFashionista. I love to get inspiration by reading other articles every day by my fellow Style Gurus. I am extremely happy and excited to continue my journey with the CollegeFashionista family, and I can’t wait to share my articles with you!

Don’t forget to stay RAD and be FAB!

    Hi, Fashionista’s! My name is Caroline Verdic and I am from New Jersey. I am currently a student at Marist College studying business marketing and fashion merchandising. I am obsessed with fashion; it is my passion. I’ve grown up with fashion. My mother worked in the industry and absolutely loved it. Growing up, I always had a sense of style. Even at a young age, I would play dress up in my mother closet; walking around in her high heels, wearing her jewelry, and trying on her lipsticks. She knew from that young of an age that I would explore the fashion world when I was older. Growing up so close to the fashion capital of the world, I got to experience the many different styles and looks found in New York City. I gain so much inspiration from magazines, on social media, even people walking around every day. I see how so many people have their own unique style that fits their personality. I love this quote by Rachel Zoe, “style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” I would say my sense of style is trendy, I love to follow the trends and add a little spin to it. Trends are always changing so one day I could go for a preppy look to the next day edgy, then to boho chic. If I am going for a casual look, I will always go for an athleisure style. I love to experiment with styles and even mix trends. Currently, I am obsessed with accessories. I love a nice big earring or necklace, or even the perfect lip color and bag combo to spice up your outfit and make you stand out. I love a great accent piece that just ties the outfit all together. I have also recently become obsessed with sneakers; I feel as though I need every pair I see. I love to run but now that the newest trend is wearing sneakers with dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants is trending, I am fully taking advantage buying more sneakers; although my bank account may not like that! I am so extremely happy and excited to join the CollegeFashionista Style Guru family and I am so excited to share my articles with you! Don’t forget to #stayRADandFAB
