My name is I’m Hayley Geller and I am a Senior at the University of Michigan studying Psychology with a minor in Writing. During my time at Michigan, I have had the pleasure of experiencing snow-filled days, joining my sorority and making lifelong friends, while involving myself in different organizations on campus, such as Michigan Pre-Law Society, that have prepared me for next year as a law student and beyond.

​

I was born and raised in Florida and never experienced a true fall or an entire winter season; as a result, I felt I needed to build a whole new wardrobe to combat the cold. The truth is I didn't. Learning how to style simple basic long sleeve tops and the power of a good winter coat would've save me a ton of time and money. This project was born, originating as a way to inspire others and demonstrate that it is possible to build a versatile and fashionable wardrobe without breaking your bank. ​​​​​​​​

I would like to extend thanks to all the people who contributed to my work, including my consultant Stacy Siegel, my classmates, and all the individuals who provided quotes and participated in my survey research! ​
