Alexa - NYU
Hey CF Readers! I'm Alexa, resident Philadelphian, high-waisted enthusiast, Lorde impersonator, and honored to be CF's first High School writer! I plan to study fashion business and journalism at NYU next year, and I'd love to tell you all about my experience transitioning from high school to college.
I love drawing cartoons of my friends, indie coming-of-age films, Philly, pretty much all female comedians, making collages, daydreaming about the Caribbean, and hoarding fashion magazines. Tavi Gevinson and Mindy Kaling are my heroes/life goals.
My claim to fame is that I haven't worn anything not-high waisted in like 4 years. My personal style is trendy but I like to keep a pretty classic silhouette. I can't live without booties, high-waisted pants, crop tops, jumpsuits, or leather jackets. Currently searching for the perfect pair of mom jeans…they're out there somewhere.
If you want to see what I'm wearing or you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to follow me on Instagram or Twitter.
