Nine Fashion Tips To Steal From Mindy Kaling

September 15th, 2015 at 2:00am

Not to brag, but my best friend is kind of a big deal. She’s a super talented writer, TV starlet and probably the funniest human in the world. Oh did I mention she also has a serious killer sense of style? And doesn’t know I exist? Okay so maybe Mindy Kaling and I aren’t real life besties, but it just seems to be destiny at this point.

Whether you quote Kelly Kappour non-stop, lust over Mindy Lahiri’s Chanel bag collection and/or read her first book and kept saying “same though,” it is safe to say every 20-something-year-old Fashionista wants to grow up and be/know Mindy Kaling.

So when your aspirational-BFF has a new book and season of her hit show dropping the same day (today!), you have to be a good bestie and show your support.

In honor of the new season of “The Mindy Project” and the long-anticipated release of “Why Not Me?,” we decided to give you nine fashion tips from Mindy—both from on-screen and off.

2. A feminine skirt with a T-shirt says, “I’m a girl’s girl who can definitely hang with the guys.”

3. A yellow trench is a modern take on the traditional neutral.
