The Auburn Plainsman: Fall Fashion

Letter from the managing edtior:

Variety is the watchword in Auburn style Maddie Yerant

ManagingEditor@ theplainsman.com

I don’t pretend to know anything about fashion.

As much as I love sifting through magazines or pretending I have enough money for all the Free People clothing ever made, I’d never name myself the next big thing in the world of style.

I’ll leave that to the future Rachel Zoes of the world.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t care about how I look.

Auburn fashion can be a strange thing. As a Midwesterner who came freshman year with

Sperrys and small tank tops, I was shocked to see girls walk around in T-shirts two sizes too big, if not more.

I was even more shocked to learn that while my jeans and school T-shirts were more than welcome back in high school, I’d have to turn them in for orange and blue dresses for game day. I won’t even start on my first feelings about Chacos.

Now a senior, I’ve learned over the years that the variety in Auburn fashion is part of what makes this style scene so great.

When, after college, will you be able to get away with wearing clothes every day that are just as comfortable as pajamas and easily able to pass as them?

When I look back at my game day photos throughout the years, won’t I be happy to see myself looking put-together and nice rather than sweaty and sloppy?

As much of a surprise as the Auburn scene was to freshman Maddie, who swore up and down she didn’t have a need for Nike shorts or pearl earrings, I was even more surprised to learn I kind of liked it.

Auburn introduced me to statement jewelry, to looking classy rather than ready for the club, to Michael Kors watches and Lilly Pulitzer.

Though, I’m still not sold on the appeal of Lilly, I’m not ashamed to say I’ve traded in my worn-out cardigans and feet-killing flip flops for bro tanks and, astonishingly, Chacos.

I’m sure I’m not the only Northern girl to be thankful her style has turned even a little bit Southern. I know my feet sure are.

To fully encompass what makes up Auburn style, we’ve tried to put together a little bit of everything for our fall fashion issue.

Take some time to glance below and learn a little bit about thrifting, a money-savvy girl’s

dream shopping trip.

Read about Auburn students like Danielle Clow or Katie Knell, blooming fashionistas determined to take their unique style from the Plains to the rest of the world.

Get an Auburn male’s perspective on clothing from D.C.-born Plainsman photographer Kenny Moss.

See our community writer get a great makeover from an Auburn drag queen, or check out some of the newest in fall fashion trends.

Above all, enjoy your own style — whether or not it fits the Auburn norm.

You may not have bought into the Chaco cult or be a Lilly lady, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have something to offer.

After all, variety is what makes style around here worth watching.

TIPS FOR THE NIFTIEST OF THRIFTING Kris Martins campus@ theplainsman. com

Autumn is in the air, and sweaters, cardigans and boots are once again making their appearance.

But as every college kid knows, we are all poor.

Yes, that’s right. You really shouldn’t buy those designer jeans or that ugly, oversized Christmas sweater we all know you really think is beautiful.

Yet the unyielding desire to have them still triumphs.

But never fear, there is an alternative to this shopping problem. It’s the

thrift store.

What was once known as a place exclusively for those in need is now an up-and-coming shopping trend.

Nowadays, young adults and teenagers visit thrift stores to find quality clothes other people have either grown out of or simply don’t want anymore.

This trend reflects a sustainable mindset, as customers are now recycling clothes and contributing to charities or churches instead of discarding them.

It’s important to be careful about checking clothes and be wary of their condition, but in my experience, most clothing is fine.

One of the most attractive aspects of the wonderful land that is the thrift store is you can find clothing for nearly half the price of its in-

store value, though each store’s pricing may vary.

Plus, a lot of it is name-brand apparel.

In my shopping experience, I have bought J. Crew, Abercrombie & Fitch, Ann Taylor Loft, Gap, Aéropostale, Coldwater Creek and several other quality brands from the thrift store in great condition for prices ranging from $1-6.

Sometimes the process of thrifting can be overwhelming, especially when testing the waters.

Here are a few suggestions that may be useful as you delve into this new form of shopping.

• Find a friend. Friends help make for a fun atmosphere.

• Know what you’re look-

ing for.This definitely shreds off the anxiety of thrift shopping, especially when entering a larger store.

Often, clothes aren’t neatly arranged like in mall stores, so knowing what style or color of clothing you’re looking for will help ease your search time.

• Be patient. Thrifting is a process. It is not always as simple as grab and go, depending on how large and organized the store is.

This means you may need to take some time to sift through the racks.

Take your time looking; the more patient you are, the more likely you’ll spot something.

• Be aware. Always inspect your potential purchases for quality. Know materials, manufacturing

and return policy to ensure top-notch purchases.

• Don’t worry. Have fun with it and keep an open mind. Some days you will find nothing that fits well or strikes your fancy, but other times you will be overwhelmed with great selections.

Thrift shopping is a great way to save money and get quality clothes you like.

Find your local thrift store and give it a try, keeping some of these tips in mind.

Happy thrifting!

The Auburn Plainsman: Fall Fashion

Thursday, October 9, 2014

contributed by KATIE KNELL

Katie Knell, junior in apparel merchandising, runs a fashion blog. Knell said she hopes to monetize the blog to both travel and improve her personal brand.

Auburn’s ‘Lady K’ brings faith and high style to fashion blog Lindsey Raygan Intrigue Writer

To some, fashion blogging is a foreign idea, but to others, it is a way of life.

Katie Knell, junior in apparel merchandising, shows her love for life and fashion on her blog, “Lady K.” “Part of it was a calling to do it,” Knell said.

“To combine the fashion world and the Lord.”

Knell said she started the blog Jan. 1, and used her high school nickname as the title.

She said she was inspired by her grandmother’s love for accessories and thankful for how her mother educated her about fashion.

“I am a very organized person and there were months of prep work behind it,” Knell said.

On her blog, Knell shares outfits complete with stylish accessories and hairstyles, but she also uses her blog to influence the fashion world.

“It can be such a materialistic place, but it really is an extension of who (God) is and his cre-

ation,” Knell said.

Knell said she wants “Lady K” to be “a place that is a vulnerable approach to life and fashion.”

While she uses her external influence from her blog, she said it has caused her to look inward.

“I think it has brought out a lot of the sin I was avoiding before,” Knell said.

According to Knell, her blog keeps her “continually evolving” and creatively flowing.

However, she said juggling life as a student and blogger is challenging at times.

“There are weeks when I am so creatively stimulated, but logistically, your schedule won’t allow it,” Knell said. “I try to stay ahead of the game.”

Knell said she believes her hard work will benefit her in the future. For instance, Knell said she has made a number of connections through “Lady K” with photographers and company Like To Know It, which connects bloggers to professional retail.

“

It can be such a materialistic place, but it really is an extension of who (God) is and his creation.”

—Katie Knell fashion blogger

“I am trying to apply what I am learning in a tangible way,” Knell said. “I hope it shows that I took initiative even as a student.”

Knell said she hopes to monetize her blogging in order to travel and expand her resources in order to improve “Lady K.” Knell said she represents Auburn in her blog by “reflecting the Auburn community by applying what (she) is learning” as a student.

She said she encourages people to go above and beyond their limits and to be bold with fashion.

According to Knell, her perfect outfit is

“anything that’s all black with some killer shoes.”

Karla Teel, associate professor in the department of consumer and design sciences, said she loves the “Lady K” blog, as well as Knell’s outfit choices.

“I think it’s very simple, but very visual,” Teel said. “She does a really good job of pulling it all together and creating a cohesive look.”

According to Teel, Knell’s work exemplifies the program’s hopes for students.

Teel said she tries to produce well-rounded students familiar with the industry.

“We encourage students to do whatever they are comfortable with,” Teel said. “It shows employers that our students have knowledge and are good at it.”

Teel said she is proud of students, such as Knell, who represent Auburn and work hard to achieve their dreams.

“Not everyone takes it upon themselves to do extra work,” Teel said. “She has taken it upon herself to go above and beyond.”

Auburn senior Danielle Clow crosses the country to start her own bathing suit line Kailey Miller

Community Writer

OFFER EXPIRES 10/23/14

Danielle Clow, senior in apparel merchandising and design, has followed her dream all the way from Auburn to Newport Beach, California. Danielle makes her own bathing suits and said she someday hopes to start her own clothing line.

Danielle moved to California to be closer to her boyfriend, but also to search for an internship to get credit for graduation.

Having grown up in Florida, Danielle has always loved being at the beach and in the water, especially when she was surfing.

“I was a competitive surfer, and I really have lived an ocean lifestyle my entire life,” Danielle said.

Danielle’s mother, Julie Clow, said Danielle started sewing with her grandmother and experimenting with bathing suit designs.

“She was surfing every weekend and spending a lot of time at the beach, so it just became as big a part of her wardrobe as the clothes she would wear to school,” Julie said.

“Having spent so much time in the

sun, on the beach, in the water, being active, it was a huge part of who you were. But it also had a lot of functional requirements.”

Danielle uses a sewing technique where seams are hidden and the material forms to the customer’s body.

“I’ve always felt the most comfortable in a bathing suit and a lot of people have an issue with that area of their life,” Danielle said. “I would love to make every woman feel amazing in a bathing suit and basically enhance their best features in their bodies and hide other features that they aren’t proud of and make everybody happy and feel comfortable.”

Danielle’s designs are marketed toward 18-30-year-old women, with a focus on bikinis.

Danielle is currently working for a company called Solkissed, where she is helping to put together a trunk show.

Danielle made her first bathing suit sale recently, selling a bikini for $40.

Danielle does not have a website yet, but she said if she does start to

take it viral she will probably use Etsy to sell her suits.

“I think she’s very talented,” said Paige Sorensen, friend of Danielle.

“She’s very up to date [and] creative.”

Sorensen said Danielle is always drafting, designing and looking up things on the web to stay current.

“I’ve seen all her designs and drafts and everything, and they’re gorgeous,” Sorensen said. “She whips this stuff out so fast. She can make bikinis in no time.”

According to Julie, despite Danielle’s passion for fashion, it took Danielle time to understand how she could turn a hobby into a career.

“I don’t think it occurred to her until she realized that she could major in fashion design, that making clothes might be a living she might want to consider,” Julie said.

“She also has a real appreciation for how different peoples’ bodies are and how you have to design around that.”

Danielle said she loves the freedom of her major and being able to be as creative as she wants to be.

Making magic: a drag queen makeover Rachel Davis community@theplainsman. com

I’ve never been great at makeup. If I put on concealer and mascara, it’s a good day. Eyeliner? Get outta town.

So, when I had the chance to get my makeup done by one of my favorite drag queens, I leapt at the opportunity.

Femma Nazi, otherwise known as Joey Falcon, is one of the reigning queens of The House of THC, a group of drag queens in Auburn who perform at Mama Mocha’s.

Falcon is also thinking of doing makeup professionally. He said he loves doing other people’s makeup, so I think we were both excited about this project.

Falcon welcomed me into his home Sunday. The makeup studio was actually an art studio, where paintings done by his roommate hung. Two cats prowled around the house while Joey painted his own artwork – my face.

For any makeup question I had, Falcon had an answer.

I think I learned more in an hour in his chair than in nine years of wearing makeup.

He told me about some of his upcoming makeup looks, such as his plan to start wearing bright eyeliner colors.

“I don’t know if this is actually a thing,” Falcon said.

“I just feel it in my soul. I’m just going to start doing crazy-color eyeliners every day of the week. Bright purple, magenta, blue, electric green...”

For eyeliner, he favors gel, brandishing a pot of black

MAC gel eyeliner for my eyes.

“I just find that it has that better sharp matte-ness to it that doesn’t fade away during the day,” Falcon said. “I’ve tried the pencil ones and the liquid ones, and it’s just never as black as I want it to be.”

The eyeshadow accent underneath is made with a stiff brush and boldly pigmented black eye shadow.

The inspiration for the lips came from Joey experimenting with different lip colors, applying different powders on top to create a new dimension.

“I was like, ‘I need to do something fresh for this.

What am I going to do?’” Falcon said. “I was just sitting in the bathroom, putting on different lipsticks with powders on top, and I loved this.”

The lipstick is Rebel by MAC. Joey said it’s perfect for when you’re feeling lazy and want to do a dramatic lip.

“It’s this really deep purple, and I love it,” Falcon said.

“It’s ridiculously sexy, but also so perfect for fall.”

Joey’s love of makeup is addictive, spreading out of his pores and infecting everyone involved.

“All the parts of makeup are my favorite,” Falcon said.

“It’s just so fun to me to be like, ‘I’m just going to be a different person right now.’”

It’s true. I walked in, bare faced and as boring as beige wallpaper. When I left, I was transformed. After all, it’s difficult to be boring when you have gold spilling from your lips. I walked into the cool October night a queen.

The Auburn Plainsman: Fall Fashion

Auburn game day gets casual Nicole Fulkerson campus@ theplainsman. com

On any given Saturday in the South, you will find SEC schools coming together to cheer on their teams. Georgia in red, Vanderbilt in black and, most importantly, Auburn donning orange and blue. The Plains become filled with Tiger fans young and old sporting their team’s colors from head to toe.

Although I am biased, I believe Auburn has some of the most loyal, supportive fans in the SEC. From waking up at 4 a.m. to save a tailgate

spot to standing for the entire game, Auburn does it the best.

Something Auburn does better than anyone in the country is celebrating our team with orange and blue game day attire. In the stands, you will find pledges in a full coat and tie, parents rocking their favorite Auburn tee and, of course, game day dresses worn by ladies.

When I came to Camp War Eagle, I was told a dress was the appropriate attire for game days. Started in the Civil War, students would dress in their finest coats and dresses to go cheer on our veterans, and since then, this tradition has stayed the same.

Being from out of state, I was shocked to see what Auburn fans

wore on game days. So the summer before my freshman year, I bought all the orange and blue dresses I could find. I was under the impression that if you didn’t wear a dress, you would be judged.

After years of spending hours in the morning to get ready, I started thinking, “I don’t have to wear a dress, do I?” As I entered my junior year I began to realize game day shouldn’t be about the your clothes, but about supporting your team.

Many things come with becoming an upperclassman. More days are spent working rather than lounging and watching Netflix, and more nights are spent doing homework than at frat parties. Our real lives are starting, so we leave behind our

freshman tendencies. In leaving these ways, we seem to put less effort into our game day attire.

I’m not saying that once you become a junior in college, you turn into a slob, but we just seem to care less about this status quo.

More crop tops, high-waisted shorts and jerseys are being worn. In fact, I would say the jersey is slowly becoming the new game day dress.

The SEC may have the best looking fans in the country, but we don’t have to wear fancy dresses to prove our loyalty to our school.

I’ve had someone tell me “Oh, you’re so fashionable,” or “Your style is awesome,” more times than I can remember. It makes me wonder what qualifies as great fashion for men.

Is it simply choosing to look presentable while everyone else is dressed as if they were at home on the couch watching football on Saturday? Is it wearing colors that compliment each other well?

I don’t mean I’m dressed up no matter what, because there are definitely times where Saturday football clothes are necessary.

I also started to think about the difference between someone fashionable and someone who doesn’t put the

9/24/14 12:36 PM

amount of effort in to getting dressed.

When I look at my closet, I usually pick a pair of pants to wear first.

I tend to sway my decision away from jeans unless my other pants are in the laundry because jeans just seem heavy and restricting sometimes.

My favorites are my colored chinos, including yellow, red, blue, grey and some others.

Although since moving to Auburn from Washington, D.C., I’ve found wearing pants for the first half of fall semester is unthinkable. The heat is just way too harsh here in Alabama.

Once I’ve put some pants on, I grab a shirt and just look for a color that goes nicely with the pants I’m wearing, unless I’ve resorted to jeans, then any shirt will work.

White is one of my favorite colors for shirts, but I try to avoid it because life has shown me white shirts are not meant to stay clean.

After the shirt I’ll grab a cardigan or a sweater if it’s cold and some shoes to

match.

I never wear free runs or tennis shoes with pants because I feel if I’m making the effort to get dressed, I’m gong to wear nice shoes to finish the outfit.

My advice to anyone who wants to dress a little better is to ditch the ever-so-common khaki shorts with a T-shirt from an event last year and work in some color.

I’ve got nothing against those who wear that combination, it’s just very easy to blend in when wearing those clothes.

Fashion isn’t my area of expertise, nor do I feel I have a better grip on it than anyone else.

However, I do feel by putting a bit more thought into getting dressed each morning you can trick people into thinking you have this much sought after fashion sense.

‘Makeup Genius’ is an understatement Cat Watson online@ theplainsman. com

Makeup Genius by L’Oreal Paris is the ideal try-on app for anyone who misses playing dress-up.

Not only does the app provide users with a new, advanced way to try on cosmetics, but it’s also delightfully entertaining to play with in your spare time.

Here’s how it works. Download Makeup Genius in the iTunes app store – it’s free. When you open the app, you’ll be prompted to scan your face in a relaxed pose. Make

sure you look natural. Avoid making weird duck faces or “this-is-my-goto-photo-face” poses because Makeup Genius works in real time.

After the initial scan, you’re given two options: try on a product or ready-to-wear looks. Click the first option and then “browse our products” to witness the magic I find so amusing.

Under products, you can choose actual products to try on, including eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, gloss, lip liner and blush. Make sure you have decent lighting.

Add a few products and observe how your face is able to move around – to some extent – with the selected makeup intact.

I’ve played with this for hours.

CAT WATSON / ONLINE EDITOR

Makeup Genius lets adults play dress-up.

I’ll even take a screenshot or selfie when I like a particular look or when I feel so ridiculous that someone else should see it.

Another fun trick to do once you’ve added dramatic makeup combinations. Move your phone in front of an unsuspecting friend. If you’re in the same lighting and you line their face up the same way you originally scanned your face, the makeup will adapt and appear on your friend. It’s sort of like a magic mirror.

I tried this trick with my boyfriend. He looked hilarious in cateye eyeliner and glossy red lips.

Reviews for Makeup Genius mentioned how the lighting affects how the colors appear.

For instance, in-store and white lighting will display differently than warmer, dimmer settings.

I’ve used Makeup Genius on an iPad and iPhone 5s. Using the iPad was especially great because the larger screen allows you to get a more realistically sized view instead of the smaller version on phones.

Overall, Makeup Genius is absolutely worth a try. It’s free, fun and definitely a breakthrough for the cosmetics industry. The technology behind this try-on app can only mean great things for the future of fashion.

Dress like a supermodel, pay like a college student Sarah Robinson Intrigue Writer

Rent the Runway is a fashion company built on the principle of leasing designer dresses to ordinary women.

This way, customers can look and feel their best for any occasion, according to RentTheRunway.com.

RTR’s shopping technique is designed to be easy to use. The four steps of buying, as described by the company, are to find the right dress, book it, wear it and return it.

With each purchase the customer may keep the dress for either a four -or eight-day period. Once the rental is up, the client puts the dress in a pre-paid envelope provided by the company for easy return.

Customers have more than 200 designers and 50,000 dresses and accessories to choose from. These designers vary from Vera Wang to Lilly Pulitzer, and accessories range from sunglasses to Spanx.

“It was the easiest process ever,” said Breanna Ingram, freshman in media studies. “They sent me not only the dress I ordered, but also a dress one size up in case the one I got was too small.”

Once the moment is over, each customer is encouraged to upload a photo of themselves in the rented dress onto the website to give other viewers a chance to see the dress before they rent it themselves.

“I used Rent the Runway to order my dress for my sorority’s formal last year,” said Lauren Lundy, junior in finance. “I felt amazing because I was wearing a dress that was worth over $800, but I didn’t have to pay anything close to that.”

According to RentTheRunway. com, as of February 2014, the company has grown to 4 million members worldwide while only being managed by a staff of 287 employees.

This extensive growth is the rea-

son the company shut down its marketing internship campaigns on college campuses this past year. This includes the flagship on Auburn’s campus, according to Brooke Josepher, senior in marketing.

“I was a campus representative for the company along with six other girls,” Josepher said. “We put up a travel show during Hey Day this past year and made goody bags for potential customers on behalf of RTR.” The girls also gave out promotional codes to various students to redeem discounts on the website.

Josepher said the workers themselves also received large promotional discounts; this was her favorite part of working for the program.

RTR’s business model is a new kind of e-commerce that is seen in other new companies, such as the online streaming business, Netflix.

In fact, The New York Times described the company as “A Netflix model for haute couture.”

CONTRIBUTED BY RENT THE RUNWAY

Rent the Runway allows college students to rent upscale designer dresses for lower, more affordable prices.
