New beginnings


What I am wearing:
Blouse - Arden B (thrifted)
Skirt - Forever 21 (old)
Belt - ASOS (via eBay)
Watch - Geneva (via eBay)
Heels - Zara (purchase here)
Ring - Tiffany & Co (purchase here)

I got the job! Some people asked me why was I so excited about working there and simply put: it's my first retail job. Although I am majoring in fashion design, marketing has always been just as important as the designing aspect of fashion. Knowing the ins and outs of marketing and how the retail industry works is crucial to keeping fashion alive.

With that said, my wardrobe is going to change a lot within the next few months and for the better. Thanks for all of the positive feedback on my last post. I'm glad that I was not the only one who felt the same way about the influences of other prominent fashion bloggers as well as the usage of rstyle.me. Have a wonderful and safe weekend!

  17. Congratulations on your new job - that's such fantastic news, and at J Crew no less, I love that shop. Also - adore this outfit, for a moment I thought your skirt was a Jil Sander (I think that's the right brand) one I have in my wishlist on Shopbop, super cute :)

  20. Something about this look is so classic. I think it's the button up chambray top and skirt combo. I love the edginess of the skirt though. Also congrats on the J Crew job! That's so exciting. I wish I could afford to shop there. Their pieces are so classic and versatile for the most part. I'm excited to see your style evolve!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Congratulations on your job, Michelle! That's so exciting! Based on my own experience, working in retail teaches you a lot of things you don't get to learn while you're in school, so it's definitely a great learning experience. I wish you the best of luck! :)

    Also, your skirt is amazing! Love how you paired your look with the belt too; really brings the whole outfit together.
