"I would describe my style as borderline frumpy. I like a lot of classic styles, earthy colors and flowery patterns that sometimes look more worthy of upholstery than clothing, but I try to stick to my taste as much as possible. I really like my mom's style – not that she's frumpy though. I actually borrow a lot of her blazers and skirts from the '90s and now that I've moved to college, my closet feels really empty," said Annika Karody, a first-year English student.
