HC NYU: Describe your personal style.OC: I would say I’m pretty minimalist.  My friends always say I’m afraid of color.  I usually wear black, white, gray.  I’d also say it’s [my style], in a way;  I’m not very eccentric.  If I was going to get all Lady Gaga, though, it would be very low-key.

HC NYU: So what kind of stores do you shop at then?OC: Zara is huge for me.  It’s kind of a big deal in my wardrobe.  With Zara, they mimic high fashion designers but with prices that I can, you know, buy them with.  I’m also into Top Shop: they’re products are pretty high-qualities. 

HC NYU: As a California girl, how do you make the transition from perfect weather to New York-winter weather?OC: It’s all about the coat.  If you’re going to make one big investment, invest in a great coat.  It’s the one item people see when you’re walking around outside (along with shoes, but they end up getting ruined). 

HC NYU:  Despite being afraid of color, are there any colors you’re interested in trying out for spring weather?OC: I’m going to try and incorporate red.  My mom always says I look good in it, but mostly it can make its way into my wardrobe without really disrupting the black and white I already have.
