Every week, The Pioneer searches out Whitties who bring an extra splash of fashion consciousness and sartorial daring to campus. This week’s style spotlight: first-year Camille Liedtka.

Style Soundbites:

“This one [necklace] actually has a pseudo-story: I really like keys a lot and … my family goes to estate sales sometimes, and I was looking for cool, antique keys and we found this whole little … bowl full of these keys, so I found this in there and I was like, ‘I love it,’ and bought it. And then my mom––she makes jewelry, so she gave me this chain.”

“[The] shoes [were] a present for Christmas. I think [my mom] got them probably at, like, Macy’s or something … you know, ‘Land of Various Items.'”

“I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how people are constantly trying to show people who they are through various means. Instead of people dressing for how they want, they dress for how they want people to see them. I personally dress for how I want … I’ve never been a fan of fashion magazines or anything, ever, ’cause it’s so ‘plastic.'”

“And again, it’s people … being encouraged to buy items so they can be seen a certain way, where obviously all [of] my stuff is kind of either recycled or … found randomly or given to me … I don’t seek out clothing specifically for reasons. So, I just kind of wear what I like and what I find, and if I see something [that] I like that I find, I’m going to go for it.”
