Sartorialist, Director's Cut

"Rocker Chic"
by Collegian Fashion blogger Rachel Hofer


Looking into Megan Haines’ closet meant much more than taking a peek at her clothes: it was literally stepping straight into her young and funky lifestyle.

Megan covers the world she lives in with her personal style, which she describes as, “Ugly pretty." This means crazy contrasting outfits from leather to floral prints, peacock feathers, and most importantly, zebra!

An interview with this unique fashionista revealed just how much this girl loves style.

Megan said she doesn't have a favorite store: she liked buying clothes from everywhere. She especially likes buying things at thrift stores that don’t fit perfectly or having something just a little bit off about them.

“You can see the beauty in it but you have to look for it.”


Her wardrobe reflects this mindset perfectly. Her closet is full of clothes she has made completely on her own. From her high school graduation dress to the very red skirt she wore during the photo shoot.


In addition to her skirt, which was hand-sewn from a bed sheet, Megan is wearing a shirt and necklace from a thrift store, leggings, a vest, and shoes from Wal-mart, and a peacock feather ring from Forever 21.

Her quirky style is just as contrasting as her beloved zebra stripes!
