Wise Words: Miuccia Prada

Quote

“What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language.” —Miuccia Prada

As I walk across the stage today, I thought this quote was perfect for this time of year—a nice little something to keep in mind for upcoming interviews and networking events for this year’s graduating class. :)

My “Recycled Fashion Project”

Hooray!! Today is the last day of final exams for my fellow classmates at American University. I thought now might be the appropriate time to share with all of you my “recycled fashion project” I’ve mentioned in several recent posts (here, here, and here). It seemed quirky, it seemed odd, it delayed posts, but now that it’s finally completed I can share it with all of you. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I had putting it all together :) Click on the “Expand” to view full screen

The Intern Chronicles pt. II

Happy May 1st! I can’t believe how long it’s been since my last post…it was on my birthday for pete sake! I’ll have to chalk it up to my insanely jam packed schedule as of late. Between interning three days per week, scheduling six photo shoots with each model for my dresses project, sorting through over 600 photos from those photo shoots, editing photos, showing my dresses in an art show…there was barely enough time for sleep let alone having brain power to type a post. So today is the first post in 18 days and it is the second—and hopefully last—installment of The Intern Chronicles series showing more favorite outfits I’ve worn during the second half of the semester. NOTE: Yes, they’re all taken on my iPhone in the bathroom. Why? Because my living room is still taken over by my recycled-fashion independent study I mentioned here.

How do you dress for your internships?
