Walking across campus one can not help but notice an array of stylish students with a wide range of aesthetics. While the style of SMU students may be diverse, the admiration of freshman Ella Mills fashion choices is seemingly universal. Mills is originally from Beverly, Massachusetts, and is currently a freshman studying finance. I got the chance to talk to Ella and gain insight into the inspiration behind her enviable looks.
