Blog 2: Observing Fashion


This is Caroline Morehead at the SMU tailgate that was themed “Red-Out.” Prior to the game, students like Caroline hit the boulevard in style.

She is wearing a red, linen dress with about five beaded circles on the chest. It has an empire waist silhouette held together by a zipper fastening in the back. The bottom part of the dress is slightly pleated for a fuller skirt look. The beaded detail at the top of the dress is attached to the dress’s fabric via sewn seams. Accessories she’s wearing include classic plastic ray-ban aviators with metal rims and a Chanel vintage quilted calfskin handbag with SAE Fraternity pins clipped on to its strap. Lastly, Caroline has a feather extension in her hair, which is a bit difficult to see.

Caroline is a friend of mine from home and is a sophomore at SMU majoring in journalism and minoring in sports management. She is extremely interested in fashion and even has a fashion Blog that she updates regularly. Her personal style is classic and feminine, as exemplified in her photo. The empire waist silhouette has a very ladylike feel. Additionally, this silhouette is age appropriate and flirty for a 19-year-old college student. The detailed beading on the dress and the feather extension in her hair show that Caroline enjoys keeping up with modern trends, while also preserving a feminine appearance. Her vintage Chanel bag and timeless Ray-Ban aviator glasses demonstrate her classic style. These accessories have been around forever and still always make a statement. This also shows her understanding and respect for the fashion industry. Lastly, her outfit reflects a lot about her interest in sports and school spirit. Students were encouraged to wear all red in order to promote mustang pride, and Caroline was eager to participate.
