When I competed in the Miss North Carolina 2014 Scholarship Pageant, the competition started on a Tuesday with a 10 minute interview in front of a panel of judges. This meant that the first time the judges saw me, I was in a pageant interview outfit I bought at the last minute–just a couple of…
Read the title of this article again. I’m pretty proud of the rhyme. *pats self on back* Now the real question: after work, will your outfit hold up? I don’t know many people who aren’t busy. Most of my friends work long hours or have more than one job or make a valiant attempt to…
Recent studies show that over 60% of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings accounts. Yikes. All I could think about when I saw this statistic was how many women I see on social media with $1,000 Louboutins (“red bottoms”). I’m sure many of the same women truly have enough money in their bank…
Barack Obama. Mark Zuckerberg. Michael Kors. Each of these men are great leaders and they share at least one fashion rule: they each notoriously wear a uniform. Odd, isn’t it, that the leader of the free world, one of the most brilliant tech minds in existence, and one of our generation’s foremost fashion designers would…
It was a rough year for me. One devoid of purpose and passion, but full of calendar reminders and checked luggage. I was drained During my 2015-16 school year, I overcommitted time and time again.

When I first bought the shirt in the photo at the bottom of this post, I thought I’d never be able to wear it to work. It was one of those purchases I didn’t think about until I’d already swiped my credit card and left with the clothing in a shopping bag. I loved the…
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! I’m watching the game tonight. I look cute, too. This post isn’t about fashion, though. At least, not directly. It’s about the people who aren’t happily sitting back and watching the game. It’s about the women who have to work today and tonight and tomorrow and tomorrow night. It’s also about…
To be fair, my law school experience wasn’t quite as scintillating as the title of this article may lead you to believe. But, I had to name it something and a “tell-all” sounded cool. *shrugs* I get tons of questions about my law school experience. I could write a book about everything I learned, but…
Never buy something unless you can think of at least three ways to wear it. Obviously, there are exceptions to this rule. It’s alright to buy a standout piece every now and then even if you won’t be able to wear it very many places or with very many articles of clothing. I’m just saying…
