Signature style: Oversized pieces paired with something tight. “I wear a lot of oversized sweaters and jackets with leggings or parachute pants with a tight top.”
Fashion Inspiration: “I follow this girl ‘Manrepeller’ on Instagram. I am not sure her real name but I really like her style,” she said. Novak also looks to Alexa Chung for fashion inspiration. “She wears a lot of menswear that is tailored to fit women, which is a style I love.”
Most recent fashion purchase: Floor-length puffy jacket for $20 off eBay. “It comes about six inches from the ground, so I just scoot around in it.”
Fashion trends you love right now: Full-length pantsuits, earth-toned plaid and booties.
Trends you hate right now: “I don’t even know if it’s a trend right now, but I do hate fedoras.”
Favorite place to shop: In Eugene — Goodwill and Buffalo Exchange. In Portland — the Pop Up Shop: “It’s a cool vintage shop with really great, random things.”
Define Eugene style: “Eugene has the reputation of being really hippy and bohemian, but everyone just wears yoga pants.”
