ALL IN THE DETAILS: Don't Call It A Come Back

What better way to push the boundaries of fashion than by putting a twist on a vintage look that's been around for years? Remember the neck sweater from the late 1980s and early 1990s? You know, the one that hung across the back with sleeves over the shoulders and a tie at the neckline?

WHAT TO WEAR: Class

College life can be pretty hectic sometimes. Between long nights at the library and early morning classes, going to school in style can slip to the bottom of the priority list. Even if you plan on rolling back in bed after your 9 o'clock class, you don't have to dress like it.

WHAT TO WEAR: Cold Weather

STYLE GURU STYLE: From Runway To Reality

Let's face it; most runway trends are only meant to be worn on the catwalk. While most of us can appreciate couture ensembles with architectural shoulders and exaggerated silhouettes, we never follow them precisely as they're shown on the runway. I felt the same way, until I discovered the Ralph Lauren pre-fall 2015 collection.

DeFreitas' inspiration stems from street wear, online clothing and television. "I pretty much mix and match styles in my head then go home and sketch them." DeFreitas plans to go to college and major in nursing but she hopes that one day she will live out her dream with the opportunity and a career in fashion where she can bring back old fads and fashions from the 1980s.

The ultimate goal in the show is to help the women overcome their defense mechanisms, become real friends and improve their behavioral problems. Depending on the group of women, goals are achieved, at least until the reunion, when old feelings surface and the women brawl for a finale that leaves viewers in awe.
