Alexa Oleson ‘16’s style primarily revolves around comfort.

“I like grungy stuff, but I also like to be comfortable,” she said.

Not one for heels and a flower printed dress, chances are you’ll find Oleson wearing darker colors.

“I wear a lot more black than most people,” she said.  “I don’t dress preppy. It is almost like hippy, but not.”

“I would say Alexa has a very natural/rustic look!  Like a good meets bad kind of thing,” wrote Kaytlin Binns ‘18.  “Personally I don’t dress much like her.  I’ve got more of a mov style.  But I do think she dressed great for how she looks!  Especially with the red hair!”

Gracie Tovar ‘17 agrees with Binns.

“I would describe it girly but in a not girly way I guess?” Tovar wrote.  “[We] have very similar styles so I guess we kind of bounce ideas off of each other.”

Oleson is employed at Plato’s Closet, and enjoys the discounts and free clothes that come her job.

“Everything I own is from Plato,” she said.

Oleson is also a fan of word printed t-shirts.

“I like wearing shirts with vulgar sayings on it,” she said.

As for her future fashion goals?

“I want a shirt that says I only date millionaires.”
