A SIT DOWN WITH STYLE BLOGGER, KAITLIN OBERMEYER

Meet HerCampusKU’s newest Style Blogger, Kaitlin Obermeyer! Kaitlin attends KU from her hometown of St. Louis to major in Photography and Strategic Communications. I asked her some questions about life, fashion and photography:

Ashley : What do you consider your closet must-have?
Kaitlin: Heeled booties, I’m somewhat of a shoe addict.
Ashley: Purse must-have?
Kaitlin: I love my little boxed satchel from Francescas. It is the perfect carry-all item.
Ashley: What is the one item you can’t live without?
Kaitlin: Liquid eyeliner.
Ashley:  In a crunch or just for casual shopping, what is your go-to store?
Kaitlin: Anything on (KU’s) Massachusetts Street: White House Black Market, Urban Outfitters, and Francescas.
Ashley:  Do you have a favorite brand?
Kaitlin: Similar to my favorite stores; White House Black Market and Urban Outfitters.
Ashley: What is your go-to date outfit? I want every detail!
Kaitlin: Jeans and booties. I like to keep it casual and fun so it’s a little flirty but not intimidating.

When asking Kaitlin more about her fashionable past and present, she explains her mom is her fashion inspiration. She states, “I think my mom is more fashionable than me sometimes.” Kaitlin is often seen her mother’s fun and funky clothes from the ‘80’s, looking cool and stylish. However, Kaitlin’s style is versatile and often rocks the rocker-chic look in denim and motorcycle boots. Since she is a photography major she focuses on snapping pictures more than standing in front of the camera. Her favorite photographer is fashion guru, Nigel Barker, most popular for his spot on America’s Next Top Model.

Ashley: So, can you sum up your style in a few words?
Kaitlin: Each day is different.

Where to find her: Kaitlin will be contributing weekly to Her Campus KU’s Style Blog. You can also find her in her sorority, Alpha Gamma Delta, as the Purchasing Coordinator and a part of the Photo Media Student Advisory Board. Kaitlin is also the photographer for KU’s STAC and a worship and social team member of Christian Crusade.
