Who: Carrie Grandy (junior-communications sciences and disorders)

Why We Think It Works: Carrie's look is a vivid example of a chic look that doesn't break the bank. Her secret?

"I look for pieces that are versatile, not just something I can only wear once," she said.

Versatility goes a long way with her gold embellished Pashmina-style scarf from H&M, dark-washed skinny jeans from Delia's, short brown cable-knit top from Target and gold pointed-toe flats from Payless ShoeSource.
