Student Feature: Ciara Rocha

 With the hiatus over, Red Raider Runway's student features are back! It is now spring, but in Lubbock that does not always mean warm weather and sunny days every day of the week! For this month's feature I was actually going to spotlight several different students on campus, but this person happened to stand out every day I saw her, so this feature goes exclusively to Ciara Rocha! Ciara Rocha is a junior Retail Management major and she is from Lubbock, Texas.

Ciara works at Franchesca's boutique. While at work they are allowed to wear jewelry pieces from the store which she really likes to do to spice up her outfits.

Because Ciara was born and raised in Lubbock, she is well accustomed to the unpredictable Lubbock weather changes and she said the weather doesn't phase her anymore.

"Unless the weather is freezing I don't check the weather because I'll wear whatever I want and bear the rain, heat, wind, dust, etc. as the day goes on," Ciara said.

Ciara said she is not a fan of long sleeves so she usually keeps jackets or cardigans in her car in case the weather decides to drop.

"The best way for me to deal with the crazy weather is to still go along with the season trends and just embrace the weather as it comes along."

Ciara really loves wearing floral prints even though she didn't want to admit it to herself at first. She also says if she could wear shorts everyday, she would.

As a working college student, Ciara does not always have money to shop frequently, so it wasn't until recently that she started buying new clothes. That is how she discovered she has a rather simple style. She gravitates towards prints (especially floral), and she loves rompers and sandals!

Ciara is wearing a "duster" and she loves it. She said her mom used to wear dusters all the time when she was younger and she didn't realize it was an old trend, so she likes that fun fact about the article of clothing.

The biggest obstacle to getting ready for school is waking up earlier to get dressed. But that is not a problem for Ciara, who describes herself as a morning person.

"I don't see it as a drag to get ready for school, I think it's quite fun! I love listening to my music while applying my makeup and finding clothes to wear," she said.

Anyone who knows Ciara, knows she is a working girl and will always be on the go. She usually heads to work straight after class so she needs to already be presentable to work so she keeps that in mind when she's getting ready in the morning.

Although Ciara describes her style as very simple, she somehow always manages to look very cute and put together. She knows how to make the most out of the pieces she has and how to mix and match them and find new ways to wear them and make new outfits! That type of mentality is exactly what Red Raider Runway tries to promote so Ciara was the perfect student feature for this month!
