Who: Gillian Melrose (senior-advertising)

Why We Think it Works: Gillian layers black on black with sophistication while also keeping warm. Wearing black leggings with black knit Raton boots with white snowflake designs, she breaks up the color by wearing a white tank under her cotton dress. Topped off with silver stud earrings, a long necklace she found at a thrift shop and an oversized leather bag from a store in Cherry Hill, NJ, she is ready for class and the winter.
