You may have seen her, strutting around in her fabulous outfits, warm or cold, rain or shine.

VTSU Castleton senior Jess Emery never fails to eat us all up with her fashion game. Emery, an English major and communications minor, puts together some of the most eye-catching fits you will ever see.

“I try not to think too hard about a specific style or aesthetic because I find that to be limiting, but if I had to define it, I’d say I lean towards an eclectic style that ranges from bohemian to gothic to some streetwear,” she said. “I feel really inspired by those who mix several types of styles and don’t stick to the boxes to curate a whole new look.”

From her shoes to her jewels, there’s nothing that she can’t rock. Her style is very versatile and she obviously has different ones for different seasons, because who wouldn’t.

“My favorite pieces to wear at the moment are brown boots that my mom found at Goodwill with long or short skirts,” Emery said. “I just found this leather bag with striped animal prints on it that I adore for a statement piece. Very western grunge, which I would like to integrate into my summer fashion. I’ve been loving anything lace mixed with knitted material and denim. I feel so inspired by Madison Wild and the way she goes about putting her outfits together.”

But Emery doesn’t just focus her clothes; her makeup pops as well. She always makes sure that her makeup complements, and helps spark up her outfits even more

“There’s nothing specifically interesting about my outfits themselves, but I always deck myself out in jewelry and sparkly makeup, which is really fun,” she said.

Her favorite outfit ever is one she wore at this music festival called Grassroots.

“Last summer, I wore a red vintage Victoria’s Secret nightgown as a dress with a denim vest over it. This woman probably in her 70s came up to me and said I looked fucking fabulous and went on to say I would fit in perfectly at Burning Man and that she recognized my lingerie a mile away. So, I love that outfit for the story that came with it,” Emery said with a giggle.

Emery will forever leave a lasting imprint on the Castleton campus as one of the most iconic students. Her biggest advice for others wanting to try new things is to remember it’s ok to not always serve the best look and it takes a lot of trial and error to find the right style for you.

“Sometimes you’ll have to look a little weird before you find what works for you. It can be hard not to get wrapped up in what other people deem cool or trendy, but try different styles. You don’t have to stick to just one,” Emery said.
