What are you wearing? Express jeans, Forever 21 top, Steve Madden shoes, Vera Wang purse and Heartbreaker jewelry.

Describe your style: I like to be comfortable with bold colors.

What trends are you looking forward to for spring/summer? Bright colors, fun prints and loose, flowing fabrics.

One thing from your wardrobe that you can't live without: A really comfortable pair of skinny jeans!

Nicki Schaper

29, convention housing planner

What are you wearing? Dress from H&M, tights from Target and BCBG shoes.

Describe your style: Lazy. I prefer dresses so I don't have to worry about putting an outfit together.

Where do you get your style inspiration? Costume closets.

One thing from your wardrobe that you can't live without: A vintage white rabbit fur jacket that I received as a gift. It's so ugly, but I absolutely love it.

Elizabeth Rose Schneider

31, design strategist

What are you wearing? J. Crew sweater, Obey blouse, Citizens of Humanity denim, black Keds.

Describe your style: It's the crossroads where classic vintage meets modern.

Where do you get your style inspiration? From traveling, individuals on the street and classic movies.

What trends are you looking forward to for spring/summer? Color-blocking. I can't wait to see bright color combinations.

Ayla Stout

25, e-commerce

What are you wearing? Top and jeans from Target, shoes from Wal-Mart. The bag and jacket were thrifted.

Describe your style: It changes every day. Sometimes it'll be a dress and heels, the next day ripped black jeans and an old Dead Kennedys shirt.

What trends are you looking forward to for spring/summer? Mismatched prints and girlie pieces with a tougher edge to them (i.e. a lacy white babydoll dress and my favorite 10-eyelet steel-toe Dr. Martens boots).
