NICOLE ASKEROOTH

Student and MPLStyle intern, 19

Seen at: It's a Man's World fashion event in Minneapolis.

What are you wearing? Wedges from Target, skinnies from Forever 21, shirt from Forever21, blazer from Gap, necklace from Lola, hat from For Love.

Describe your style: Thoughtful. It's really important to me to wear things that work for my body, my student budget and my mood instead of exasperating myself trying to keep up with every trend.

Do trends influence your style? For me, they're more inspirational than a direct influence. I'll come across a trend that I like aspects of and then play around with it until I find an interpretation that really speaks to me.

Where do you find your style inspiration? There usually isn't a single moment in my day where I see something and go, "I'd love to do something like that." It's more of a process of taking things in and waiting to see what my mind does with them.

What's your fashion pet peeve? People who don't dress for their body type.
