The california Aggie

campus CHIC. By STEPHANIE B. NGUYEN Aggie News Writer

Jeanna Gindi, fifth-year computer science major The Aggie: What are you wearing? Gindi: “My pants and shirt are both Free People. My shoes are Dolce Vita. The bag is Madewell and my sunglasses are Chloe.” How did you decide what to wear today? “I tried on a few options. I pretty

much look in my closet.” Where do you find inspiration? “From anything. I definitely look around and see what other people are wearing. I shop online and look at blogs.” What’s your favorite item in your closet? “I would say probably a really good pair of jean cutoff shorts. I have a pair that I would wear everyday if I could.” STEPHANIE B. NGUYEN can be reached at campus@ theaggie.org.
