This week’s StyleSpotter features senior Daphne Li, who hails from America’s lovely northern neighbor city of Toronto, Canada. Known around campus for her hip-hop moves, Li keeps busy by balancing a demanding schedule as VIBE Dance Group Co-President and a Neuroscience major, all while applying and interviewing for medical schools and more. Nominated for her style, she claims comfort in basing her wardrobe around a simple and clean color palette and has even mastered the skill of finding the best that is to offer from eBay. Read on to learn more about her favorite fashion picks and preferences…
What are you wearing right now?
Zara Blazer, Forever 21 Cardigan, American Apparel Tank, Urban Outfitters Pants, Chinese Laundry Boots, H&M Gloves, Bag from eBay, and a Necklace from a Flea Market in Canada.
Who are your favorite designers?
Alexander Wang and Philip Lim because they design comfortable clothes that are basic and can be layered.
Who are your favorite style icons?
I just recently got into fashion blogs this past summer and I’m really inspired by Rumi of “Fashion Toast”, Lulu’s blog, and “The Sartorialist” always has amazing pictures.
Most disliked Vandy trend?
I think pastel colors on guys are okay, but their shorts cannot be too short! Also, wearing short skirts without tights in the cold is not acceptable.
If your closet was burning and you could only save one item, what would that be?
I would try and grab all my vests and shoes, especially all my black ankle boots.
What was your most recent purchase?
I just recently bought a new motorcycle jacket. I love it because it keeps me warm and it’s edgy.
And lastly, if you had to describe your style in three words, what would they be?
Sleek. Monochromatic. Complete.
