Premedical freshman Paige Holton’s out-of-the-ordinary approach to dressing herself makes her personal style truly unique. Holton, who pairs together articles of clothing most students would not think to wear in the same outfit, said she typically wears tennis shoes with her dresses, rather than heels or other formal footwear. “A lot of people dress up their dresses, and I really don’t,” she said. What she’s wearing: A colorful paisley print dress from Walmart, tan shoes from Payless ShoeSource and a green flower headband. Personal style: Holton said she dresses for comfort, and the outfit she is wearing is representative of a typical outfit for her.
