Campus Fashion Feature: Falling for Fall
Name: Hillary Bolger
Year: Fourth
Bolger caught our eye with her simple, yet chic combination of a light sweater and denim shirt. It’s perfect for L.A.’s chilly, autumnal mornings and warm afternoons. The denim shirt adds a pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit and the rimmed glasses complete the look.
Mojo: How would you describe your style?
Hilary: Situational. It depends on where I am. I dress a lot differently at school than I do when I go to work. I like to look nice but still be comfortable.
M: Do you have a style inspiration?
H: There’s not really one person that I necessarily look to… I definitely look to the past a lot. A lot of vintage high fashion people.
M: Do you have a favorite store?
H: I go to Urban Outfitters, Anthropology, Nasty Gal and a lot of thrift stores.
M: Do you think having your own individual style is important?
H: For me it is. When you look at somebody, whether or not you should have a snap judgment about them, you definitely do. So I think it’s a good way to get a sense of your personality across.
M: Is there anything in your bag or purse that you can’t live without?
H: Definitely sunglasses and lip-gloss.
M: Do you have a favorite article of clothing?
H: I have a pair of black boots, with a little bit of a heel, that are still super comfortable. They go with everything.
M: How would you describe fashion at UCLA?
H: Varied… Definitely varied. A lot better than I originally expected. There are a lot of people that are very fashion-conscious here. It’s fun to people-watch.
