Fashion Challenge


My good friend/sorority sister Michelle is pretty much my first free lancing styling client. Anything Michelle has coming up I personal shop for her whether it be in person or online. When I can't be with her I make polyvores for her of what I envision the look to be and try to help her capture that vision as best as I can possible without physically being there. Michelle recently returned to her home Miami to attend University of Miami-huge change from our small town school Auburn. So she needed some help back to school shopping. Michelle and I have a similar style as one day we want to be preppy or one day hippie bohemian. I made three different polyvores or tops/bottoms/ shoes & accessories for her new school wardrobe. She wanted to be comfortable and stylish and stay cool in the Miami weather.



Tops:
1. Flowy tunics with prints. Keep her cool, stylish, and comfortable. She can wear a bandeau top underneath and head to the beach!
2. Hanes white cotton v-necks are a must to wear with huge necklaces, shorts, or vests/cardigans.
3. Light fun graphic tees
4. Fun and comfy vests girly, edgy, and somewhat dressy.
5. Light cotton dresses and a maxi dress is a must!
6. Preppy button downs to pair with ripped denim or cuffed linen shorts.
7. Light blazers to dress up any outfit
8. Boyfriend cardigans and one with a print (it is Miami!)
