With Mindy’s fellowship coming to an end at Stanford, she must decide whether or not to start a fertility clinic in San Francisco or return to New York City and continue practicing with Schulman and Associates. No easy decision! Before leaving California for a quick trip to discuss this with Danny, costume designer Salvador Perez dressed Mindy in a bright pink look, similar to previous collegiate-chic outfits she’s worn before. “I was still playing in that Elle Woods world,” he says of the custom-made tweed he paired with a pink dinosaur sweater from Moschino Cheap & Chic and her now signature matching Chanel bag (below). “I’ve lost count on how many we have,” reveals Perez. “The fact that we can match them to so many outfits makes me happy.” Mindy Kaling Fully Embraces the College Look on This Week’s The Mindy Project I love Mindy Lahiri's Elle Woods ways.

The fact that she’s wearing a crystalized coat in the middle of the day was fabulous.” Mindy Lahiri is San Francisco posh. @dvf and Peter Pilotto.

However the focal point of the look was the BCBG belt, which is how he incorporated Peter’s western-themed going away party into her outfit.
