Every now and then I have to remind myself how lucky I am to go to school with some of the most creative and fashionable guys & dolls, many of whom I can already see making a big splash in the industry down the road. Some lessons I have learned from them so far:
- Shopping for vintage is fun - like playing dress-ups. And you'll always look unique.
- It's hard to resist e-Bay peer pressure, especially when you're bidding in class.
- Luxe handbags are well worth the investment (even better if you borrow them from your mother).
- Nothing is more satisfying than making your entire wardrobe and having people ooh and aah over how clever you are.
- Wear what you want; ignore the stares (guys can wear mumus and gladiator sandals if they want to!).
- If you have a favorite color, stick to it (purple is very popular).
- Hunt the sales; you can score incredible bargains, especially if you make friends with the salespeople (they will let you in a day early if you're extra nice).
- Work experience is the best way to score free clothes - if you prove your worth!
We got our marks back for our individuals already and we all did really well. To celebrate, we're going out to lunch today!
Happy weekend. xx
