Freshman Rachel Nguyen is not under the radar with her fashion sense. Without knowing her name girls around the school comment on her outfit as she walks by in the hallways. This freshman raises the bar when it comes to dressing nice to school.

“Fashion is really a way I can express myself. It lets me stand out and be different from everyone else, it really means a lot to me,” said Nguyen.

Standing out and displaying individuality is prominent in Nguyen’s life just as it is with teenage boys and girls everywhere. Nguyen strives to put a spin on things and make them her own.

“I get most of my outfit ideas from Seventeen magazine. I get inspiration from there but I almost always change it up to make it more…me,” said Nguyen.

If you admire Nguyen’s fashion sense shop at stores like Wet Seal and Forever 21.
