Shannon O ’ Donnell wasn ’ t always into fashion . She was known to wear a baggy hoodie and beat up vans every day , but all of that changed and she gained a new perspective in a summer spent with her grandmother . “ She opened up my view of clothing and different ways to accent it with jewelry , hair , and makeup . Low and behold ; it was a new me !”
In high school , Shannon says her style was on the preppy side , then when she hit college , her style changed again ! She became so passionate and expressive about her new style that she would dress up , more than her old usual , every day ! People would ask her “ Why do you dress up just to go to class ?” To which she says , “ That ’ s just the way I am .” She describes her style as being “ urbanesque ” and having “ a laid back feeling , but still strong enough to make a statement .”
It ’ s no surprise to see that Shannon has great style , when you learn how creative she is . She is going to the University of West Florida to get her BFA in Graphic Design . She then aspires to be an interior designer , with her dream job being fashion designer ( a career in which , there is no doubt she would soar !)
Shannon draws inspiration while working at Cotton On and also through magazines , TV , pinterest , and her friends .
Shannon gave us these shopping tips to share with you . “ Have fun while you ’ re shopping !” and “ You would never know what colors , shape , cut , or style could look on you without just simply trying it on . Be strong and just try it on !”
Shannon wraps up our interview saying , “ I hope you all enjoy seeing all the fierce fashion coming your way .”
