Video Sidewalk Style: Thrifty Student

By Lucia Abramovich ,   Alejandro Salinas   Published Friday, August 14, 2009

“Being a student has definitely made me up amp up the thriftiness,” says Hannah Geyer, a law student at George Washington University who’s interning at the American Bar Association this summer. “I look at fashion magazines and then look for way cheaper versions at thrift stores.” Her outfit is a mix of thrift-store finds and goods from chain stores such as T.J. Maxx. The dress, which she found at a Salvation Army store, has a fun, colorful print that was impossible for our cameras to miss. “Bright and irritating, I guess,” she says self-deprecatingly of her style. Bright? Yes. Irritating? Hardly, Hannah. Check out our video to find out what she has to say about the style scene in Washington compared to Detroit, her hometown.

PLEASE NO! I’ve been telling Hannah her wardrobe is too ridiculously bright since we were in high school! All you’re doing is feeding the beast. If there were a person to be caught on a desert island with, it would be hannah. In addition to her cunning wit, the hubble space telescope will be blinded by her collection of dangley-earrings and floral print sundresses. NASA will be sure to investigate.
