STYLES OURCE
BY MARY GATES
How does your style reflect you as a person?
I'm a 21st century woman with a nostalgic side. Maybe that's why I'm a history major.
Cassidy Cook
What is somethingt hat people commonly say about your style?
Well, my nickname is Classidy
Bozeman, Mont.
2015 What piece are you most
proud of?
• I adore all of my clothes.
History
Rather than proud, I'd say the
most special is the ruby ring
my grandmother had made for
me. I wear it everyday.
What piece are you dying to
own?
That's a loaded question.
I'm not sure the Piolog has
enough ink for that list.
What era would you best fit
into?
The 1940s.
Where is your favorite place
to shop?
I grow weak in the knees
when I cross the threshold of
Nordstrom.
Where do you find fashion
inspiration?
I like to try to find a fine
balance between Grace Kelly
and Michael Jackson. Is that
possible?
What is your fashion guilty pleasure?
I don't guilt about any of it. I'll just say that my shoe and perfume collections are larger than
average.

BY MARY GATES
How does your style reflect you as a person?
I'm a 21st century woman with a nostalgic side. Maybe that's why I'm a history major.
Cassidy Cook
What is somethingt hat people commonly say about your style?
Well, my nickname is Classidy
Bozeman, Mont.
2015 What piece are you most
proud of?
• I adore all of my clothes.
History
Rather than proud, I'd say the
most special is the ruby ring
my grandmother had made for
me. I wear it everyday.
What piece are you dying to
own?
That's a loaded question.
I'm not sure the Piolog has
enough ink for that list.
What era would you best fit
into?
The 1940s.
Where is your favorite place
to shop?
I grow weak in the knees
when I cross the threshold of
Nordstrom.
Where do you find fashion
inspiration?
I like to try to find a fine
balance between Grace Kelly
and Michael Jackson. Is that
possible?
What is your fashion guilty pleasure?
I don't guilt about any of it. I'll just say that my shoe and perfume collections are larger than
average.
