Valley Gal of The Week: ZaynabThe Interview: Why do you love wearing this outfit? "I love this outfit because it's super comfortable. I love wearing leggings because it make changing for gym so much easier - plus leggings in the winter keep you super warm." Who or what inspires your style? "I love using Instagram and Pinterest for style inspiration. I can just search up an item that I have and find an outfit to take inspiration from." Your favorite place to shop? "There's so many! Forever 21 is definitely my holy grail store. I love it because it carries a huge variety of styles. H&M is a close second - it's also super cheap. When I'm in the mood to splurge a little, Zara and Urban Outfitters are my top stores." What's your favorite trend right now for winter? "I'm really loving sneakers, plaid, and fur for the colder seasons. I love these trends because you can make them edgy or classy/preppy. Sneakers are super comfortable slip ons; roshe runs by nike and converse are all sneakers that can be styled different ways depending on your style. Plaid is so versatile; you can wear it around your waist for a more edgy look or wear it with a fur vest for a more preppy look. Depending on the color fur you can get a different look - black is more edgy (while) brown is more classic." What fashion advice can you give to people who are looking to update their style? "Definitely buy cheap clothes. When you're experimenting, you never know what style is going to last so never over-spend. Also... buy quality basics like jeans and basic sweaters because those will be worn very often." How would you describe your style? "I don't really have a set style. Sometimes it's more edgy/grungy but other times I can't help myself from a more preppy look." If you could raid anyone's closet, who would it be and why? "Probably the Jenner Sisters. I feel like among the two, they would have a variety to styles and pieces in their wardrobes which is just what I like." Because your religion requires you to cover yourself, how did you learn to find the balance between what was trendy and what was acceptable? What is your advice to other girls who are required to cover up and aren't sure how to make conservative fashionable? "Right now, oversized and high waisted (clothes) are super trendy so lately I haven't had a problem. The most important thing is to stick with what you're comfortable with. Style isn't something to set so play with it." Zaynab, your impeccable style and unique personality are what make you the perfect Valley Gal! Thank you for giving us the chance to photograph you.
