Claudia, a first year French and LJST (that means law, jurisprudence and social thought to the rest of us) double major at Amherst from outside of Philly, clearly refuses to compromise her chic for the unending unpredictability of the New England weather (I know, I know – you’re sick of hearing about the weather, and I’m twice as sick of complaining about it).

Claudia funks up her printed sundress—a de rigueur staple for spring—with a bit of prep (note the Jack Rogers) and a bit of boho. And now for a lesson on how to pull it off from the smarty pants herself…

Exhibit A: a wide leather belt defines her waist while her earrings and bangles add some sparkle for this daytime look–meanwhile, her jean jacket casually tossed over her shoulder (in case of those chilly Massachusetts breezes) is the cherry on top of the look that’s one part function, all parts fashion.
