A: Today my favorite piece would be my shoes! I wear them almost everyday.
Q: What is your ideal outfit for going to class?

A: My ideal outfit would be my high-waisted shorts paired with a tee! I'd probably wear a cardigan with it too.

Melody's outfit is so simple yet chic enough for the warm spring breeze that's been livening up UCSD this past week. She smartly paired neutral tones together with gray shorts and leather shoes to even out the slightly subtle colors of her tops. This kind of outfit is perfect for biking to class or just hanging out.

Suggestion: Getting ready for classes can be such a drag sometimes so why not just go with simplicity and comfort? It's really easy to pair neutral colors together with some cute shoes and denim shorts. They're perfect for the breeze that's been coming into San Diego these days, and this kind of simple outfit is still sleek enough to pass off as stylish!

Name: Kayla

College: Sixth

Year: 1st
Major: Sociology
Spotted At: Sixth College Res Halls

Outfit:
Light Purple Cardigan: Uniqlo
Floral Romper: Korea
Polka Dot Bow: Etsy
Black Combat Boots: store in Melrose
Glasses: Cotton On

Q: How would you describe your fashion?
A: I would describe my style as feminine and comfortable. I just wear whatever that comes to mind that day so I don't really have a style. I just wear a mixture of all types of trends and whatever suits my taste that day.
Q: What is your favorite piece you are wearing?
A: I really like my bow because I love the polka dot print right now and it made my outfit look really feminine.

Q: What's your favorite thing about spring?

A: My favorite thing about spring is that I can finally wear pretty floral dresses and mix it with other prints.

Kayla's outfit is a perfect transition from the cold, dreary weather of winter quarter to the warm, light breezes of spring quarter. She paired a floral romper, which perfectly emulates the season's aura, with combat boots to tone down the sometimes overdone floral prints. Kayla also has used the trend of mixing/matching prints, done so with her floral and polka dots, and has successfully matched them together without clashing.

Suggestion: Spring is the perfect time to bring out your soft-toned cardigans, as Kayla did, and pair it with floral prints. It is also a really big trend this season to mix/match various types of prints so don't be afraid to try out new styles!
