Larisa
is a Political Science and French double major and describes her
style as artsy and formal. She rarely wears jeans. Dresses and skirts with thick
tights are her winter staples. Larisa has been pleased with the chilly weather that
we have been experiencing so she can show off her diverse scarf collection. She
told me that she owns around thirteen kinds of scarves, which come in different
colors and patterns.
“I actually
have a scarf organizer in my room” she said.
With colder weather quickly
approaching, it is easy to just draw a neutral colored winter jacket around
your shoulders and walk out the door. A bright scarf like Larisa’s adds a pop
of color to an outfit that would have otherwise been plain. At the beginning of
the semester, Larisa had a pop of color that brightened up her outfit each day;
her hair was dyed a vibrant purple.
Boots are a staple in the winter.
Even before the snow hits, boots can keep feet much warmer and more comfortable
than flats or sneakers. Larisa bought her boots in Montreal, when she went on a
trip with her Chorale group over last spring break.
“There was about four feet of snow
and my suede boots were just not cutting it” she said.
Larisa has been able to use her French skills in many instances,
including her trip to Montreal. She also studied in France last
summer.
Larisa told me that she gets many
pieces of her wardrobe from her aunt, some of which are vintage.
“She knows my style and she actually gave me
this dress which is from the 1980s” stated Larisa. Sometimes clothes that are
hand- me- downs are real treasures.
Larisa hopes to go to Law school and
work in the Human Rights field in the future.
