Looks on Campus: Courtney – Stephens College
I ran into Courtney in the lobby of one of the apartments on campus and immediately fell in love with her look. It was simple yet chic, which is what every college girl should go for when dressing for class. I even loved that she was braving the winter chill with cropped pants and short sleeves (of course, she was indoors)! Who said spring wouldn’t come early this year?
Name: Courtney
Hometown: Collinsville, Illinois
Class Standing: Junior
Major: Fashion Marketing and Management
Some More Details…
Hobbies/Interests: “Volleyball and watching sports. I love being outside and doing anything active. Also boating, wake boarding and going out with the girls on the weekends!”
Who or what inspires your style? “I’m inspired by the way guys dress. I’m into the whole androgynous look.”
Where do you like to shop? “I love Urban Outfitters and Free People– if my paycheck can afford it!”
How has your style evolved since college? “I used to wear lots of bright colors and crazy get-ups. Now my look is more subdued and grown-up.”
Elements of Courtney’s Outfit
1. Cropped Pants
Courtney’s pants are awesome because they make her look stand out. Even though she is wearing mostly black, your eyes are immediately drawn to her because the pants add edge to her ensemble.
2. Booties
I love that Courtney is wearing booties, proving that heels aren’t just for a night out! There is nothing wrong with a little height in your 10 a.m. marketing class – why not experiment and have fun with fashion?

I am in love with androgynous look. Great style.
Renn
That first outfit is amazing! It’s so refreshing to see something that doesn’t include jeans – good for that girl!
Meg
I went to school with Courtney! She was definitely all about the bright and wilds in school. It was refreshing among the subdue colors of the hallway.
Rachael
I love the third take on her look – gorgeous!
Tibby
It’s cute but impractical. Maybe she had a jacket for when she goes out side, but her legs will still be cold. I don’t understand people who dress like it’s warm out when it’s not. It’s possible to be comfortable and stylish at the same time.

Her look is great! I love how it looks so effortlessly chic. Great pick!
Kim
I have that exact same shirt. I got it at American Eagle last year.
Lan
I love her style! This is actually the 1st Look on campus post that I really feel impressed. She brings some fresh air to class. Who says u can’t be academic and have some fun at the same time?
Jodi
I love the bangles in the third look-the only item that doesn’t say where it’s from! Don’t know if that was accidental or on purpose, but I would love to know where to get those!
Kelly
Hey Jodi!
The bangles are from Monsoon. There website is monsoon.co.uk! They have tons of interesting and unique jewelry! They are a little on the pricey side, but Forever 21 has some similar ones for much cheaper that are just as cute!!
Gabi
Nice shoes and pants Courtney! I’m not a fan of this particular floral print blouse even though florals are so fashionable right now…
Emily the Panda
i actually really like this look because it’s different, she’s not trying too hard.. looks comfortable and it’s interesting!
The last look on campus I saw was the girl with the white shirt, and an hermes belt. It was sooo boring.. I know it’s classic but.. I just wasn’t feeling it. Kudos on a good find!
Jojo
I love this style!
This is probably the first Looks on Campus post that I can completely relate to style-wise.
Katja
The third take on her look is hottest, It’s a great transition into spring! Purple was the “it” colour last year, let’s see how well it fairs this year!
