//Dressing for a Job Interview//

November 6, 2015

So, since I have a job interview coming up for a job that I’m super excited for, I decided to write a post about how to dress for any job interview in case there are any readers out there who panic when they have to decide on what to wear.

Preparing mentally for an interview is stressful enough, so hopefully this will help take some stress away from the physical preparation! One of the first things my sister told me about dressing for my very first job interview was that you’d rather over dress than be too casual.

Now, obviously I’m not advising anyone to wear a ball gown when going on an interview, but you should try to find something that is classy and professional all while being comfortable because you want to make sure you can be yourself too! Continue Reading

Fashion without the Fortune’s Guide to Forever21.com

November 3, 2015

Forever 21 is one of those stores that has a bad rap. I often hear that people say that they think the quality isn’t there, the clothes are too young, or that shopping the store is overwhelming.

Hooded Plaid Poncho

V-neck Cutout Sweater

And on one hand I can agree, shopping in a Forever 21 store can be overwhelming! I personally am not a huge fan of going into the store-I never seem to find much. But to be honest Forever 21 online is probably my favorite place to shop online. Yes, you read that right FAVORITE!

 

While I can stumble into a Forever 21 store and find nothing, I can peruse their website and load my cart up with 50 different pieces. There are so many different things to look at that I can sit there for farrrr too long going through all the different categories, accessories, sale items, etc.

Fashion without the Fortune’s Guide to Nordstrom Rack

October 29, 2015

Even though Nordstrom Rack is the discount version of Nordstrom, it can still be a very pricey shopping spree at times.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t find some great deals there. They typically have an additional 25% or 30% off clearance at certain times of the month, called clear the rack! Even when clear the rack isn’t going on, we typically shop only in the clearance clothes section because they have a large selection of nice stuff, then we meander to the shoes and accessories to see what’s going on in those departments.

Like I said before, since their clothing, shoes, and accessories consist of higher priced, name brand designers some of the items you pick up will give you a heart attack when look at the price tag-even if it is on clearance, trust me!

Fashion without the Fortune’s Guide to Marshalls

October 27, 2015

So Marshalls has no idea we exist…but we’re basically their number one fans. We frequent the store to find amazing deals on clothing, shoes, handbags, home décor, cosmetic products, dog treats, hot tools…you see where I’m going with this. If they sold groceries we’d probably purchase those there as well.

Why do we love this store so much you ask?

It is honestly because it saves us so much money, and who doesn’t love that?! We can find designer items at a hugely discounted rate, especially if you get lucky at the clearance rack.

Now we’ve had friends and family say to us that they don’t feel like they have the same luck at Marshalls. Some have said they feel overwhelmed or it takes too much work to shop there. We understand! That is why we feel the need to write this post to give you some tips and tricks on how we score major savings and land some amazing finds.
