Q: What is your 'go-to' outfit?

A: "Exactly what I am wearing! I just have to change the sweater that I wear over the tank and it changes the whole look of the outfit. It's super comfy but still looks cute and put together."

Q: So what is the first thing you notice about an item?

A: "Well, I shop pretty often so I always keep my eyes open for something new. I love sweaters so I automatically gravitate towards those when I am in a store."

Q: Do you have any style rules?

A: "Never wear something you are uncomfortable in. No matter how cute the outfit is, it won't look right if you don't feel good in it."

Krystal's over-sized sweater over leggings is an adorable new take on an 80's trend. The slouchy boots add a dressy touch that keeps the outfit from looking sloppy. When wearing an over-sized top it is also important to add accessories that draw attention to your waist, otherwise you could look bigger than you are. Krystal does this perfectly with her long key pendant necklace that draws attention inward, but the same effect can be achieved with a belt around your natural waist. Her tote is a functional and stylish alternative to a backpack, as it can fit a laptop, a couple binders, and has pockets for pens and pencils.
