Earring Crazy: with Calista Shell and Isabelle Aube
What do you like about the trend?
Shell: “I like it because you don’t have to dress up a lot, because the jewelry adds to your look.”
Aube: “You can add a whole bunch of different earrings; you can do all different kinds.”
Do you have more earring holes because that’s “in” or because you like them?
Shell: “We just decided to do it. We were at Isabelle’s house one night and we pierced them ourselves.”
Why do you think it’s in style?
Shell: “People are starting to do their own things and not going with other trends of other people, and I think that piercing ears is kind of something to do when you’re bored.”
Do you think a lot of people are going to start doing it?
Shell and Aube: “I think it’s really cute, but I think a lot of parents don’t allow it though.”
Do you think people are starting to wear more jewelry in general?
Aube: “Yes, I feel like rings are in right now, and I see a lot of people wearing a ton of bracelets. I like ankle bracelets.”
Where do you get all your rings from?
Aube: “I got most of them on vacation, at Target, and one at an airport.”

Oversized Cardigans: with Mackenzie Shell
Why do you think oversized cardigans are becoming a trend?
Shell: “They’re super comfy and they look cute if you put it over a tee shirt or a dress. You can also wear it over anything and you’re not wearing a sweatshirt, but you feel like you are.”
Have you seen a lot of people starting to wear them this fall?
Shell: “Yeah, I think there are so many ways to wear them that it kind of fits everybody’s style.”
Where do you get your cardigans?
Shell: “I always get mine from Urban Outfitters. They’re so comfy and they’re kind of unique.”
What do you wear your oversized cardigans with?
Shell: “I wear a lot of dresses and skirts, but I know when it gets colder I will probably wear more jeans and boots.”

A Guy’s Fall Style: with Nick Baker
How does your style change in the fall?
Baker: “My fall style changes completely. I basically turn into a complete hipster. I’ll wear jackets, different styles of jeans, different styles of shoes and a lot of accessories as well.”
What kinds of accessories do you wear?
Baker: “I wear a lot of bracelets, scarves, and hats.”
What is your favorite thing to wear in the fall?
Baker: “Jackets. I love wearing multiple different jackets.”
What kind of shirts do you wear in the fall?
Baker: “I wear a lot of flannel button-downs, and tee-shirts with the frocket (Frat/front pocket).”
What kind of shoes do you wear in the fall?
Baker: “I wear a lot of Vans and sandals…they’re super comfortable like Crocs but they’re not gross to look at.”
What is your ideal outfit in the fall?
Baker: “A light jacket with a hood, under a heavier jacket with some skinny jeans – they’re not really skinny jeans I guess, but they’re tight jeans- and flannel button-down.”
