The Orange Carpet: Do-it-Yourself Fashion


The Orange Carpet scours SU to roll out the best campus style (die, hoodies, die!)


Junior fashion design major, Grace O’Meara, was spotted wearing a chic outfit with her signature edgy touches. She offset her preppy J.Crew button up and cardigan with her bold color choices. The bright green cardigan added the perfect bold spring touch to liven up her blue outfit. O’Meara added a touch of masculinity to her feminine outfit with her, Vera Wang Lavender label combat boots (she found them on sale!)


She also showed off her hand made necklace made from fabric scraps. But, this handmade piece looked anything, but inexpensive; her careful construction resembled more expensive designer pieces. The vibrant piece goes with almost any outfit and adds a pop of color. These edgy choices make Grace look put together, yet unique.
