SUSAN HAGSTRUM

62, wife of University of Minnesota President Robert Bruininks

Seen at: The Weisman Art Museum.

What are you wearing? Boots from Nordstrom, tights and vest from Eileen Fisher, blouse and camisole from Chico's, tie silk scarf from Bangkok.

Describe your style: Dressy when appropriate, casual is preferred. I like to wear boots and tights with long flowing shirts, jackets, coats, big earrings and many different styles of glasses. I'm aware of fashion trends and try to make them age-appropriate.

Where did you do most of your holiday shopping? Online for our grandchildren, mostly Amazon.com and Creative Kidstuff. For my husband and myself, Lands' End, REI, Eileen Fisher.

Do you think you'll spend less money than in Christmases past? I am going to spend less on gifts that are toys and playthings and more on long-term charitable and educational commitments.

What's going to be your present to yourself? To make a long-term major commitment to the Minnesota Medical Foundation at the U of M to support a comprehensive center for patients with multiple sclerosis.
