Tell me about what you’re wearing today.<\/strong> So the jacket is Mugler. The hoodie is from a Korn concert I went to in London. I’m wearing Allsaints leggings that I turned into a top, the red pants are from a jumpsuit from some Brazilian brand\u2014I didn’t like the top, so I cut it off and made them pants. And the skirt is from Aritzia.
Okay, Mugler!<\/strong> I actually did a Mugler takeover for Vogue, and they sent me this.
What’s your general approach to style?<\/strong> I’m a very method dresser. I love a theme. I get dressed up for whatever I’m doing that day. Except today I woke up when I was supposed to leave the house, so I just put on all of the clothes that were on my couch. And I was like, \u201cOh, it’s red. Oh, it’s black. Okay. I’m putting it together. I’m going outside.\u201d And then my raincoat, because I thought it was going to rain today.
Are you a big red person generally?<\/strong> It depends on the weather and my mood. But I’ve been in the spring melancholy, so I’ve been wearing a lot of blacks and reds.
Oh, we’re sad about spring?<\/strong> Well, it’s a season of transitions. And I don’t like changing, and everything’s happening so fast.
What sign are you?<\/strong> Pisces. So, you know. Emotional, sensitive.<\/p>\n![\"Image](\"https:\/\/assets.vogue.com\/photos\/6a05f4c1bdb1981f72280be8\/master\/w_1600%2Cc_limit\/0526_friezestreetstyle_AmirHamja_18.jpg\"\/)

Occupation:<\/strong> Nurse and fashion and art lover
What kind of nurse?<\/strong> I work in the PACU, so recovery nursing.
Do you watch The Pitt<\/em>?<\/strong> Yes, I do, and it’s oddly realistic.
What are you wearing today?<\/strong> So this dress is vintage Comme des Gar\u00e7ons, Junya Watanabe. I got it in Seoul, Korea. And this is just a little bomber jacket, a vintage Prada purse you can make into a clutch, and some gardening clogs. I got this ring from Rio.
What’s your approach to dressing outside of scrubs?<\/strong> I love to mix and match. I knew this dress was a little bit more dressy, so I paired it down with just a windbreaker and the clogs. I love pattern, color, texture\u2014just mixing and matching. I love vintage designer. I’ve been trying to build my collection up over the years. But anytime I travel, I love to source different pieces that I probably wouldn’t find here in the US, or at least, for the price. I like pieces that you don’t see every day, and then just pairing it back with pieces that are a little bit simpler. But, usually, I need to have one standout piece when getting dressed, and then I work around that.
The Junya is really fab.<\/strong> Yeah, and you can unbutton it and roll it down, or wear it off the shoulder. It can be a few different things.
And you’ve got great hair.<\/strong> I think the messier look also adds a little bit to the style as well. So you don’t always look so polished\u2014you add some texture and, just, a vibe. I think in the spring and summer, it’s just nice to have braids in.
Plus, I’m sure you have to have it pulled back for work.<\/strong> Totally. It’s nice when you’re actually a real human, being outside of work, to show who you are.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
