Austin-based writer Haley Schultheis grew up with an enviable wardrobe of taffeta, tulle, and polka dots, and she was known to change clothes on a whim. She graduated with a BA in English writing from DePauw University and studied the history of Italian fashion and art history during a semester abroad in Florence. After completing coursework in design and management at Parsons School of Design and interning for Donna Karan New York, she went on to pursue her career as a style writer and blogger.
