Happy Birthday, America! It’s that time of year where the city is empty on the weekend. Everyone is enjoying the beautiful summer weather at the beach or pool. Fourth of July is a big weekend for most CollegeFashionistas and Fashionistos. It’s a weekend where they can stop thinking about their jobs, classes and responsibilities and can finally let loose a little!
This Fashionista went all out for the occasion! Her American-themed outfit is perfect for watching fireworks, a BBQ or a summer party. Her outfit is under $40. All she needs to do is add her summer essentials: a belt and shoes from her closet and she’s ready to go! This outfit is totally affordable and wearable for the right occasion. She is sporting a red tank top and dark wash denim shorts from Target. A light wash chambray star-themed shirt and the summer classic—strappy sandal. The final touch to this outfit is her Michael Kors must-have belt making the entire look work. She, of course, dresses the outfit up with many accessories. She loves to wear her Fitbit to count her steps and stay healthy during her busy summer. She also stacked her Alex and Ani’s to add some arm candy. Of course, she is wearing her jersey proud watch in support of Hurricane Sandy. To top it all off, she is wearing a three-tiered gold necklace that was only five dollars; what a bargain! Now for the make-up. She went with a very simple eye, just a little mascara and a light contour to add some definition to her cheekbones. By adding that dark red lip, it makes her gorgeous hazel eyes pop!
One Simple Change: One change outfit can be removing the chambray star-themed shirt and adding a light-wash denim vest. This new look will be perfect for a casual day in the summer hanging with friends. The outfit is foolproof because it is fun and comfortable making these long hot summer days tolerable!
Don’t forget to #stayRADandbeFAB and enjoy the holiday weekend!

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
