Aziza Moore ’17 (top left) is the type of person who can literally fall inside of her closet and come out dressed fully and well. I wish I had this skill. With her jacket, shirt, skirt and shoes Aziza’s fashion speaks to my soul. It says hi, but I am shy because I am unworthy to be in its presence.

Megan Koeneman ’17 (top right) looks amazing. With a simple blouse and jeans she should write an intermediate’s guide about dressing at Wooster. Along with her smile, she is able to convey that she is a friend of the world. Any friend of the world is a friend to me.

Kyra Perlmutter ’20 (bottom left) probably was walking minding her business when Lily decided to bombard her with questions. Anyone looking this good, has to going somewhere. No one just dresses this well with nowhere to go. So from the bottom of my heart I apologize Kyra, but keep on looking good even if you don’t have anything spe- cial on schedule.

Ellie Peabody ’20 (bottom right) decided to go with some- thing simple but elegant at the same time. With a smooth black dress she is enjoying the last few moments of heaven before the Wooster chill arrives. With her phone in her hand, she has the power to curve all unwanted suitors and has her mind focused on classes. Keep looking good Ellie while we enjoy this unseasonable Wooster weather.
