November 2009: We Caught You Looking Sweet

 

Mandy Gagel

Occupation: UVA faculty member, Editor of Frederick Law Olmsted Papers
Where we spotted her: Fiske Kimball Library

Style sense: Mandy wears a Puella dress from a Boston boutique, a necklace from New York that a friend gave her, Spanx tights, vintage Frye boots and a Tano leather bag. She says her high-waisted apparel accentuates her curvy shape and accessories—like her boots and necklace—top off her ‘70s-inspired look.
