Transitioning Your Wardrobe—Undergrad to Working Gal

Julia — Sun, 11 May 2014 09:00:25 +0000

One year ago today. I can’t believe I graduated from college one year ago today. Since then A LOT has changed, but my biggest concern back then was how my wardrobe was going to change from going-to-class outfits to interview-ready get-ups that would land me a job. My bit of advice to this year’s graduating […]

Show Me Your Tights

Quite a few of my girlfriends have girly-er taste than me…surprise surprise. That being said, they enjoy wearing skirts with cute tights in the cooler months. Their challenge? Staying warm while showing off the cute designs on the tights. In an attempt to help a few girlfriends keep staying cute while out and about town, […]

European v. American: Differently managed wardrobes

Julia — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 09:00:52 +0000

You might be thinking, “Wait, people manage their wardrobes?” Well, yes, yes they do. You do too, you just don’t realize it. You may not think your spending habits reflect your country of origin, but it speaks more about your consumption patterns than you think. The two mindsets are quite different: the European way vs. […]

How-to: Downsize Your Wardrobe

Julia — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:00:16 +0000

Since graduating college 34 days ago, I’ve already managed to go through a minor identity crisis. I found myself blankly staring at my closet the other day, utterly uninspired. It dawned on me that the clothes I’ve had for the past four years of my life seem almost like a time capsule of undergrad. It’s […]

Shopping Tip #6: Never Pay Full Price

Julia — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 10:00:54 +0000

Growing up in suburbia and attending college in D.C. offered slews of stores out of my price range. In high school I had the advantage of working a part-time job at TJ Maxx to support my closet. Now, while in college, my schedule has been filled with internships instead of a paying job. This has […]

Shopping Tip #4: Clean Out Your Closet

Julia — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 10:00:51 +0000

With the holiday season looming ahead, I thought this would be something you ladies might want to start thinking about. Since the holidays always mean shopping, gifts, and giving, we seem to always acquire new clothing during these upcoming weeks. May it be from falling into the “one gift for you, one gift for me” […]

Shopping Tip #3: Do Your Homework

Julia — Tue, 16 Oct 2012 09:00:52 +0000

Being a savvy shopper is being a smart shopper. You should never buy a high-ticket item you like without shopping around a little bit. If I have my sights set on a pair of shoes I always check multiple websites and stores to see who has the lowest price (free shipping is a huge plus […]

Keeping Your Unmentionables Unmentioned

Julia — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:00:01 +0000

I want to first apologize for the incredibly poor quality of the following photos–I took them at night using my iPhone without a flash. I’m only using them to demonstrate a point: This is NOT OK to do. Never should a woman be donning a fun-backed dress with a nude colored bra blatantly showing. You […]

Redefining “Practical”

Julia — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 09:00:26 +0000

Practical It’s a word I hear too often here in DC, specifically when it comes to clothing and self expression. “That’s not practical, why would you buy that drape-y jacket?” “That color isn’t practical, pick a more natural hair color.” “That height isn’t practical, you should buy a lower heel.” You get the point. Since […]
