Mary Vanderheyden: Sporty

Richmond Hill, Ga.

“My fashion sense is casual with some vintage influences while still being modern. Honestly, my style changes based on how I’m feeling and the weather, and what I’m planning on doing. My fashion icons are Taylor Swift and the people on Pinterest. Those people have skill.”

Laid back, casual, and super cute are all words that can be used to describe this sophomore pre-nutrition and food science major. With a pair of simple white shorts with a navy top and a long necklace, she shows that you can stay comfortable and still look cute at the same time. This look is also very versatile and allows you to pair a lighter colored bottom with a darker top or a dark bottom with a light top if you want to keep your look simple.

Every girl should own at least one good shift dress. The lace background with the geometric patterns around the top of Mary’s dress really sticks to her idea of having a style that has “vintage influences while still being modern.” For a look like Mary’s you can look to Taylor Swift for inspiration when putting together a cute but casual look.

Madeline Peebles: Preppy

Wrens, Ga.

“My style is a mixture of everything, but I like to put modern and classic twists on my outfits. The South has really influenced my style, I like to really capture the essence of a true modern Southern belle with a little rebellious side. I really enjoy the work of Kate Spade, because she truly captures a classic preppy style but adds to it with the trends of today.”

“My fashion icons would have to be Reese Witherspoon, Carrie Underwood and Savannah Chrisley.”

Rachel Mounce: Grunge

Tampa, Florida

“My style is minimalist with grunge/edgy elements. I’m a trend follower and I’m not ashamed, there’s a reason certain looks are made popular at times. However, if I really like a certain trend, I’ll keep wearing it long after it’s gone. If an outfit looks good on me, there’s no reason to stop wearing it even after the style has ended with the general public.My inspiration comes from a lot of YouTubers such as Kailee Mckenzie, Rachel Whitehurst and Maddi Bragg.”
