Indu - Duke University

Indu is a Sophomore at Duke University whom I met on an Outing Club trip to beautiful West Virginia. She is the perfect example of an athletic woman who does not shy away from embracing her feminine side and does so stylishly.

I loved the pattern of this dress so much I wanted to take a photo of just it. The blue my camera captured doesn't do justice.

Naima - Duke University

Naima is a Duke University Senior and has been one of good friends ever since orientation week three years ago. If you ever have the chance to visit Duke, make sure you catch her in one of Sabrosura's performances (Sabro is Duke's very own Salsa dancing  group)!

Swapi- Duke University

It's interview season around college campuses and Swapi had just had one. While she always dresses stylishly, it's interesting to see how many students transform for interviews and how it contrasts with what they regularly wear. For students like Swapi, transitioning into business life will most likely be a piece of cake, at least in terms of dressing for work. Do you think it'll be easy for you to trade flip-flops for pumps or hoodies for shirts and ties?

Dani - Duke University

Dani is a junior at Duke University and is majoring in Psychology. She and I met in the rival town of Chapel Hill under a bacchanalian state of mind and have been friends ever since.

I'm glad more girls are embracing wider belts but I especially was a fan of the printed top

Fiona - Duke University

A lot of fashionistas nowadays seem to add much unneeded weight to their looks, straying from the right mantra, where less is better or less is more. Fiona, a senior at Duke University, a member of the Delta Gamma sorority and an Economics Major perfectly embodies the mantra and with a nice camel skirt and a white shirt combinations creates a beautiful yet simple look.

Michelle P. - Duke University

Chance had it that the next person I would get to photograph is also named Michelle and is also a senior at Duke University. Michelle is originally from Puerto Rico, a member of the Alpha Phi sorority and plans on going to med school and eventually working on solving health issues in Latin America.

What I was drawn to most in this outfit was the beautiful light azure scarf that was tucked in the chrysocolla belt.Perfect  combination for a warm fall.

Michelle S. - Duke University

Michelle is a senior and one of Duke University's Young Trustees.. She is a bold and confident young woman whose debonair personality and witty humour make it easy for people to grow quite fond of her. 

Michelle goes for a great pink and black combination, combining both feminine and masculine elements harmoniously

Nnenna - Duke University

While most people cannot wait for Casual Fridays to wind down from a week of wearing business attire, some Duke students like to do quite the opposite and Nnenna is definitely one of them. The red pumps drew me in from a distance and I knew I had to snap a few shots of this natty look.

Alp - Duke University

Alp is a Junior at Duke University and is originally from Istanbul. As you can see, one's geographical origins are extraneous when it comes to taste and style, with brands such as Lacoste and Ralph Lauren being as ubiquitously present on a North Carolinian campus as they would  in the Turkish capital.

Maura - Duke University

Maura is a senior here at Duke University and there is yet to be a day when I meet Maura on campus and her smile and joie de vivre don't lift up my mood. Though it's mid-October and most northern states are already well into the fall season, North Carolina weather has been amazingly summery. Maura's outfit preempts the coming of fall through the cardigan while still maintaining a summery air by pairing it up with a skirt.
