Don't make your outfit a competition within itself. If you're looking to add color, try a vibrant solid color shirt with a pair of black, white, gray, or dark wash jeans. Another way to add color is through pants. Many stores are starting to carry colored denim now and the variety is endless. Don't cop-out on the color though-- get something bright and vibrant. Be sure to wear something very subtle with the pants though, and don't be too coordinated with the pants or its starts too look tacky. And don't get orange pants. Just don't." #1 Fashion Don't:  Those toe-shoe things. What the hell are p

Name:  Maggie Sulc College:  Martel '13 Major:  English Style Inspiration:  Audrey Hepburn and classic film.

Name:  Amber Callan College:  Wiess '15 Major:  Biochemistry/Cell Biology & Psychology Style Inspiration:  As a military brat, I've lived fifteen places including Germany and England.

Besides, fashion should be fun.

Wondering what to do with your old Beer Bike shirts? Stuck with leftover College Night tees? Why not turn them into workout tanks---perfect to wear to the gym while you're working toward that swimsuit body. Start with an old t-shirt (the bigger the shirt, the baggier the fit of the tank. 1) Cut from under the arm holes to the shoulder . Make sure the actual "straps" are cut straight (although you can customize their placement and width). Now, make a u-shape from one side of the collar to the other. The deepness of the U can depend on how much of the print on the front that you want to preserve. Lastly, cut the bottom seam off ; the cut can be wider in the middle of the shirt (especially if you want a cropped fit in front). 2) Turn the shirt over and make the racerback shape skinnier by cutting out more of the sides. 3) Take the extra cut-off from the bottom of the shirt and slice it into one long strand . 4) Using this strand, tie a knot at the
