UCSD's Best Dressed: These Boots are Made for Walkin'

Name: Tiffany (Girls with this name must be naturally fashionable. Last weeks best dressed was named Tiffany too!)

Major: Bio-Chemistry

College: ERC

Year: 2nd

Spotted: Outside Solis Hall

Q: Do you get your fashion inspiration from anywhere in particular?

A: I read a lot of magazines but editorials are usually pretty out-there. You can't really wear that stuff in real life. So I guess I try to see if there is a certain style they are kind of going for. But usually if I am just out shopping I will see things I like and then take them home and try to put them together.

Sequined grey scarf: Bloomingdales

Super awesome boots: Ugg Australia

Striped sweater: Martin+Osa (a former branch of American Eagle that is no longer in business)

Dress/tunic: Forever 21

Silver buckle belt: Urban Outfitters

Tiffany's outfit caught my eye right away. Her boots which you can find here at Nordstrom are extremely eye catching. Surprisingly, they are made by Ugg, which can normally associated with comfort, not fashion. But who is to say you can't have both? She did an amazing job pairing her boots with a simple black tunic and cardigan. A similar long cardigan can be found at American Eagle.
The blue stripes on Tiffany's cardigan add just a hint of color. This is perfect as because as the color getts added in, Spring slowly does too! A solid colored cardigan can achieve the same effect too. The belt she added is adorable and the perfect accent to the rest of her outfit. It makes the whole look seem very put together.
The scarf and tights kept her warm and looked great. Onnce Spring officially gets here, all she has to do is store them in her closet and the rest of her outfit is warm-weather ready!

Country Chic

Dolce and Gabbana brought the runway to a party in the garden during the Milan Fashion Week for spring 2011. The Italian duo brought a sense of nostalgia and set the mood as happy summer. The use of floral designs was pervasive - on dresses, platform shoes, hair accessories, etc. The collection was less of a prim and proper garden-party style and more of a peasant farm girl style, as evidenced through the use of gingham and pocketed aprons. Overall this collection showed a new perspective on country chic, characterized by the trademark spring season design - floral and a nostalgic addition - gingham.

Q: So where do you get most of your fashion inspiration from? People you see, magazines, etc?

A: Probably both. Right now most of my clothes are from Asia (she visits every summer), so when people ask where something comes from, I usually have to say 'Oh, Taiwan'. But that is probably where most of it comes from right now.

White sheer blouse: Bought in Taiwan, you can get a similar look with this top from Express

Black Boots: "From one of the vendors on campus!"

Messenger bag: Forever 21

Bow ring: A similar one can be found at Nordstrom

Tiffany's outfit caught my eye right away, and the whole look makes me yearn for warmer weather! Her sheer blouse with the petal appliques is gorgeous, whimsical, and it practically screams "Spring!". I am just upset that I can't find one here in the states. Since it is still pretty cold outside despite the sun, Tiffany picked a light-weight black cardigan to keep her warm. It looks adorable paired with the cute black shorts she chose. I love that she paired the shorts with black slouchy boots; it is a refreshing change from the sandals or sneakers that we usually see worn with shorts. Adding the black messenger bag and slipping on an adorable bow adorned ring just made the outfit that much more special. Hopefully if she keeps up the warm weather style, the temperature will take the hint and heat up already! Lovely job Miss Tiffany!
