It isn’t always easy to find something new. Fashion conforms with its wearers, following infamous trends, adoring Ugg boots one season and Toms another. So looking for an intriguing style in RBHS can be something of a challenge.
Luckily, it isn’t an impossible feat. This week I almost breezed by junior Sammy See as she walked past the vending machines. But the long black skirt hiding her chestnut boots made me halt to quickly grab her attention. After a chat and a few laughs, I’d found my Style of the Week.
Name: Sammy See, junior
Shirt: Aeropostale
Skirt: Swank
Boots: Dillard’s
Favorite store: Buckle
Best buy: A pair of Gianni Bini heels for $35 at Dillard’s
Budget: One to two outfits per shopping trip, one shopping trip every three weeks
“[Fashion] makes people have an opinion about you,” See said. “If you dress casual, they’re going to think you’re really laid-back, and if you dress nice all the time, they’ll think you’re sophisticated. … And people’s opinions express how they are going to act towards you.”

I love the style of the week column, but sometimes your intros make it seem like you don’t like writing it!

I’m sorry it seems that way! I definitely like doing Style of the Week – it’s just a harder job than we anticipated. Like I said, luckily, we have some really unique people and fashions at Rock Bridge. I just have to be able to find them. 😉
