Marine Grall, an exchange student from Paris, brings not only her knowledge and experiences from abroad but also her quintessentially French style. In spirit of her time here in America, Grall rocks the red, white and blue – coincidentally also the colors of the French flag. Her royal blue blazer has a velvet texture that is more distinctive than the typical cotton or corduroy jackets we normally see this time of year. She pairs this with a black and white striped shirt on top of solid blue denim jeans. As an accent, she wears a pair of solid red patent flats, as well as a white bag with long black handles.
