Style and Substance: Prelude

Rianna Caparaz

Hey ya’ll! This is Rianna and my column is called Style & Substance. (Cue Disney Channel intro jingle.) First and foremost, I want to shine a light on my past experiences with fashion. According to old photos, I was a stylish little girl. As much as I would like to deny it, my mom did a good job picking out my clothes. But then around fourth grade I discovered Limited Too and I was given the freedom to pick out my own clothes (there was a lot of color clashing and wearing clothes that were not my correct size). All I can say is that those were my dark ages and I was a mess. Then eighth grade came around and I finally felt like I got a grasp on this fashion thing and my love for clothes only grew. Now on the verge of adulthood, I still feel like I have much to learn about my style and I’m bringing you along for the ride.

Here on Style & Substance, I will invite you to raid my closet and my many Spotify playlists. I hope to be at least some sort of an inspiration to those who have no idea what to wear in the mornings. I’ll be sharing my favorite looks and where I get them from, and there will also be a few shopping tips (i.e how to find the best pieces for the lowest prices possible) and much more. Notice how I also mentioned “many Spotify playlists.” Every other week I’ll be supplying a handcrafted lists of tunes for all of you. On that note, check back soon!

Peace out girl scouts.
