Arely Villa ( 12) 

Q: Why do you believe this outfit was your best back to school fit? 

A: My favorite back to school outfit was my black senior shirt, and I think it was because it represents I’m a senior, obviously. I also thought it was so cute how half of the entire senior class was wearing the shirt, a lot of people cut or designed their shirts too.

Q: What are you wearing? 

A: It was really anything with a brand besides Converse; I ordered those online mid summer break. I’ve had them for a year now. I’d have to say I bought them from a small store at the mall, Cozy Fox. The leggings don’t have pockets but they are flared. My makeup was mostly Elf, and a Mac setting spray.

Q: What was your inspiration? 

A: My biggest idol is Selena Quintanilla. I love her; I love how she used to dress, her body, her music…I’m one of her biggest fans. I wish I would have met her before she passed; I would have  gone to a concert, but I think I do get a lot of my outfits from her. She would wear a lot of flare cut jeans or straight Levi jeans with a minimalist look. My flare leggings have a lot to do with her, as well as my hoops; she’d wear cute gold hoops. My outfits are usually inspired by her. 

Q: Any hidden messages? 

A: I was wearing jewelry, gold hoops, a gold chain pendant with a Virgin Mary on it. It was a gift from my mom and dad when I turned 15, and I’ve worn it ever since. My gold hoops match with the necklace. I had gold rings on, they are not very significant but they had butterflies and hearts. I love little hearts, but some of my non-gold jewelry I was wearing included this ojo bracelet, from my best friend, Arianna. 

Q: Name of Outfit. 

A: “Senior Fever”
