I'm not fashion guru but I do like getting dressed and going shopping. One of my favorite things about Fordham fashion is the way a lot of people integrate Fordham Road finds into their wardrobes. It takes a frequent Fordham Road shopper to recognize these pieces on other women (bejeweled sandals, big bags in loud colors, jingly quirky jewelry, etc) and sometimes it's completely impossible. I have friends who have found gorgeous President's Ball dresses and entire Spring Break wardrobes on Fordham Road that you would never expect they paid next to nothing for.
It takes a seasoned Fordham Road shopper (AKA a senior) to integrate these finds into her wardrobe without looking like a mannequin from Pretty Girl (great store, horrendously dressed mannequins). Usually all it takes is some understated pieces from other stores to help make these cheap additions look expensive, chic and unique.
Fordham Road is the best kept secret in NYC shopping and most Fordham girls are totally in the know, showing up to work or internships in Manhattan wearing pieces from stores our bosses and colleagues would never think of visiting.
