This week Madison, New Jersey has been experiencing pleasantly warm temperatures that have given us one last glimpse of summer before we have to transition completely into Fall. During the past few days many ladies on Drew’s campus dug out their sun dresses and shorts for one last hooray before the cold weather takes over for good.

Today’s student spotlight features Julia, an Anthropology major here at Drew:

Spotted: In a classroom in Brothers College waiting for her Gender and Family in China class to start

Name: Julia Kolikoff

Major: Anthropology

Year: Senior

Interests: Fashion Merchandising

Today Julia is wearing a jean button down shirt from Ralph Lauren, a pair of patterned high waisted shorts from Dolce Vita, and black Sam Edelman loafers.  To accessorize Julia wore a silver Michael Kors watch and a frayed black purse from H&M.

How would you describe your personal style?

JK: My style is evolving so it’s hard to describe it as one particular type, although I do love to mix textures and anything black

Where is your favorite place to shop?

JK: My favorite place to shop is a store where I work back home called Habit

What is your go to accessory?

JK: simple stack-able rings

Secret to looking great even when you are busy?

JK: I don’t really think about it quite honestly, having on an outfit that makes me feel good helps me to get through my day I guess

How to achieve Julia’s style:

The focal point of Julia’s look is her patterned shorts that really add a pop of excitement to her outfit.  She smartly wore a simple jean button down shirt that paired especially well tucked into her high waisted shorts.  Julia’s black shoes, black purse, and black nail polish helped to pull her look together.  Julia’s advice about how wearing an outfit that makes her feel good helps her to make it through a long day, may just be the motivation some students on campus need to put a little extra effort into looking good so that they in turn feel good throughout the day.
