This spring, I have been on the hunt for an oversized denim jacket. Denim jackets have been popping up everywhere, from the runway to campus; it’s like a dream come true for someone who loves the style of the ’90s as much as I do. Naturally, I had to share how to style this timeless trend. I envy this Fashionista’s distressed vintage Levi Brand Jeans jacket; the jacket is destroyed just the perfect amount to avoid looking too ratty. This Fashionista complements the denim jacket well by layering her look. The simplicity of a plain gray dress from T.J.Maxx over a black Free People slip helps to make the jacket the focus of the outfit. The lacy layering of the slip also gives a nice feminine touch to an edgy look.
My favorite part of this outfit is how the vintage, thrifted statement necklace resembles a bolo tie and brings everything together by incorporating a western-looking accessory that complements the worn-out Bed Stu for Free People boots and semi-destroyed denim jacket.
My advice for a searching for a denim jacket is to check out local thrift stores, Goodwill or stores like Urban Outfitters for one that is oversized. Look for one that isn’t too destroyed because you can always change that and destroy it yourself. Don’t be afraid to look in the men’s department, either.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Spring is tricky—the weather can change in a snap, so always work in layers so you can adjust your look throughout the day for maximum comfort and style.”

When I'm not being a style guru-I'm QB1-number one on the field AND in the fashion game. A football fan and fashion fanatic, I am currently a junior at the University of Minnesota majoring in Journalism with an emphasis in Strategic Communications in the School of Journalism and Mass Communications with a minor in Retail Merchandising from the School of Design.
Early on, the Olsen twins and -who didn’t go through an Avril Lavigne phase? -Yes I was a SK8R Boy-inspired my fashion but now that I’m a college student, I get most of my inspiration for what to wear to class from my sorority sisters and the ever-famous Kendall Jenner. (Seriously, if you don’t follow her, you need to because she’s got Victoria’s Secret Angel status now.) My biggest fashion dilemma was when I bought a multicolored glittery Kate Spade clutch and didn’t know how to pair it with my swimsuit for a lakeside dinner, luckily, the best fashion advice I’ve ever gotten came from my sorority sister who told me that if “something doesn’t go with anything, you wear it with everything.” My favorite trends right now are high waisted black skinny jeans that are ripped only at the knees because you can wear them to class and out on the weekends while still being fashion forward either way and Céline purses.
I love old country music like Johnny Cash and George Strait and have been a writer since I was little. I have always aspired to be a part of the fashion world. I have a sporty casual style for class and on the weekends my fashion gets full on flirty! After college, it’s my dream to be living in an apartment in upstate New York working in the Public Relations or Merchandising field.
