Kelly Frammel: Being a girl who always wore a uniform, I would love to go back to school again and wear an outfit that was all about my personal style. I&amp;#039;d bring the energy of summer into the classroom with lots of bright colors \u00E1 la [a Juicy Couture photo shoot Kelly styled] Wild At Heart! 17: Athletic (and athletic-inspired) clothing is super popular for fall, what&amp;#039;s the best way to wear this back to school? KF: When working with athletic clothing, layering is key! Also, accessories make the look. I love chunky gold jewelry with casual sportswear! For example, what&amp;#039;s great about a Juicy Couture Relaxed Jacket is that it gives a pair of bright shorts a relaxed vibe.  17: You&amp;#039;re not only a successful blogger, but also a stylist. What&amp;#039;s the best piece of advice you ever received when you were just starting out?  KF: Go with your gut. It may seem clich\u00E9 but it&amp;#039;s true. If you want to establish your own voice and place in the creative world, then you have to trust yourself and your instincts completely.  17: What&amp;#039;s the key to becoming a successful blogger? Stylist?  KF: As both a stylist and a blogger it&amp;#039;s important to always be experimenting and pushing the boundaries of your personal style and vision. It&amp;#039;s important to always be open to inspiration from other people, from art, from books, and from other cultures! In both fields, my goal is to challenge myself. 17: What&amp;#039;s the best way to prep to work in the fashion industry, even if you&amp;#039;re still in school?  KF: When I was a girl aspiring to work in the fashion world, I was absorbing everything. I read fashion books, studied magazines, and followed the careers of respected designers, photographers, stylists, editors and influencers! I also took every fashion-related job I could get from working retail to sewing hems for independent designers. In high school, I taught myself how to make patterns (by reading a book from the library!) and began experimenting with making my own clothes. I&amp;#039;d never been to New York and knew no one in the industry, but still I found ways to learn and grow. 17: What were some of the biggest challenges you encountered when you were first starting? How did you overcome them? KF: The internet can be a cruel place and sometimes the negativity can get you down, so it is important to always be proud of your work. See the criticism, but don&amp;#039;t take it to heart. For every negative comment, there are always plenty more supportive and uplifting comments. Focus on the good!
