My style is very similar to Rihanna's, edgy but also very fun.

Name: Nikki Tan
Major: Psychology
Hometown: Los Angeles
Wearing: Top and shoes unknown, shirt from Goodwill, pants from Downtown and necklace was bought in the Philippines.
How would you describe your style?
My style depends a lot on what mood I am in, but I really like vintage and indie clothes. Sometimes I can dress very edgy, and the next day I am classy. It varies from day to day.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I read a lot of Vogue and Elle, so mostly from magazines and from online pages like Lookbook. I also watch what people around me are wearing.
Do you care what other people think of your clothing?
It depends. Some days I am really lazy and just put on whatever, and in that case I don't care at all. If I put a lot of thinking to my outfit, then it is more important to me what other people think. So yes, I would say I do care, but at the same time, it is my own opinion that is most important.
Why did you choose that major?
Actually, I started out with a fashion major, but after taking one psychology class, I felt that this was something I could see myself doing in the future. I really love to interact with people, so I switched major to psychology.

Where do you get your inspiration?
Probably mostly from the seasons and different magazines.
Do you care what other people think of your clothing?
No, not at all. I like really weird stuff. I usually likes to wear clothes that other people are afraid to wear. I put on whatever I think is pretty.
Why did you choose that major?
I think it is interesting. That major is very general and wide, so I can work with a lot of different things. In the future, I hope I can run my own PR firm and do political campaigns.
