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 Sofia Dawson.

Style Soundbites:

“I think every single thing that I got is from a different place … I pretty much just bought [the clothes] because I really like them; they just caught my eye.”

“I really love this necklace. It was a graduation present.”

“This [ring] is from Walla Walla, actually.”

“The boots? I don’t know what brand they are or anything.”

“I actually noticed that I felt like I was wearing a lot of solid, boring stuff and that these pants are really cool … They’re just different. Every time I wear them, I always get compliments on them because they’re really unique.”

“When it comes to style, I used to be pretty self-conscious about trying to wear things that I thought were trendy or something, and then I just realized that no one really cares and that you just gotta do you.”
