Wearing cropped coral jeans and a patterned royal blue tank top, Anna Kinney of Grand Forks, enjoyed an afternoon lunch at Dakota Harvest.
The 26-year-old recently moved back to Grand Forks from the Republic of Georgia, where she was a volunteer teacher for 14 months. Now, she is ready to go back to school. She plans to attend UND to earn a master's degree in English.
She is also working on rebuilding her wardrobe, which was largely destroyed by her tiny Russian washing machine in Georgia.
After spending more than a year in a developing country, Kinney isn't up-to-date on the latest trends. But, the pieces she's collected from her travels make her wardrobe eclectic and worldly.
