Alongside this change, our work loads have increased, and the chill in our forecast has escalated.
While some of us have mastered the art of complaining about the cold weather and taken to the typical college uniform of spandex, boots, oversized sweatshirts, and jackets, others, like Kachi Udeoji '12, are fashionably prepared for the seasonal changes.
See what inspires Udeoji to express himself through his fashion sense:
Q. What are you wearing (from head to toe)?
A. "My scarf is from a thrift store in London. My jacket is from John Frank. My jeans are from Sisley. This is a plain white Fruit of the Loom t-shirt from Target. My shoes are Uggs. Oh, and I'm wearing black nail polish"
Q. What will your winter style consist of?
A. "It will consist of blazers, coats, boots, and scarves are definitely a big thing too."
Q. Do you have a favorite winter fashion accessory?
A. "I love gloves! I can never keep track of a pair of gloves…they get lost".
Q. If you were to have a fashion line, what would you call it?
A. "ACEO by Kachi Udeoji".
Q. What does AECO signify?
A. The letters stand for all of my first names, and I have friends with names that match these letters.
Q. What non-modern or atypical elements of culture inspires your fashion?
A. "The classical genre of music; most of the time you see me in dressy jackets. You don't see many young people dressing in code. Retro times inspire the colors that I wear. I get my hairstyle inspiration from the wavy hairstyle of the 1930s.
Q. What advice do you have for those who are less confident about fashion?
A. "You can wear anything you want…it's about being comfortable with yourself."
Q. Here's a random question: apples or bananas?
A. "Apples!...Apple juice, pie…anything apples.".
