Stephanie Choi,
English sophomore
Can you tell me where you got your outfit?
My boots I got from a Steve Madden store, my leggings are super old and I think I got them from Forever 21 in high school, my dress is from H&M that I got at a thrift store and my jean jacket is from a thrift store called Crossroads.
What exactly do you like about thrift stores?
I like how eclectic they are, but I am also super passionate about environmental issues and sustainablility, so I justify my shopping at thrift stores because it’s promoting the idea of recycling instead of throwing away your fashion items. And they’re cheaper.
Who or what inspires your style?
I love wearing dresses, so I guess that’s where my inspiration comes from — and the weather.
How do you dress up sweatpants?
I think I’m more of a leggings person, but I would put boots on to make it more dressy, maybe a scarf and some accessories to go with the comfy-but-still-stylish feeling.
How would your friends describe your style?
They would probably say it’s very girly or very feminine.

assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering
Describe your outfit.
Business casual.
Who or what inspires your style?
I used to dress casually, but when I switched to faculty, it got more business casual to show some authority to the students.
What do you wear when you dress casually to work?
I usually dress casual on the days I don’t have meetings. I just wear jeans and [a] shirt but not shorts although it’s really hot here.
How will your style change in the winter?
I don’t think it changes style-wise; it just gets a different jacket and the pants are thicker but otherwise the same.
What is your style outside of work?
Sports casual, easy stuff.

Where did you get your shoes and your leggings?
The shoes I ordered … from Aris Allen, which is a swing dancing website, and the leggings are from Forever 21.
How would your friends describe your style?
Probably retro or classic.
Who or what inspires your style?
Swing dancing. I don’t do it, but I like the style and music videos.
What is your favorite thing in your closet?
I have this blazer that is green with some metallic gold in it.
Where do you wear that?
On campus or when I’m going out at night.
