Aroob Tawfiq
With temperatures cooling down on MSU’s campus, individual expression through personal style has become apparent through the added layers. In the midst of fleece jackets, Sperry Top-Siders and the ever-present green and white sweatshirts, some Spartans are sporting their own unique style.
Human resource management junior Aroob Tawfiq doesn’t coordinate her wardrobe to mimic any particular fashion icon. On the contrary, Tawfiq said she’s always had her own style.
“I sort of do my own thing,” she said.
