SO much more than a part-time job

" If a woman walks into a room and people say, "Oh what a marvelous dress", then she is badly dressed. If they say, "What a beautiful woman," then she is well dressed." Coco Chanel.

This is so much more than a wise quote, it is basically my motto whenever I go to work. As a sales associate for White House Black Market, it is my job to make women of all ages feel beautiful. For some reason, clothes have the great capability of making you feel fantastic whenever you put on a specific article of clothing. At White House Black Market, which...go figure....sells clothing in shades of white and shades of black along with shoes, accessories, and jewelry every piece of clothing is designed to be that piece of clothing that you go to in times of need. Last minute invite to the New Years Eve party? No problem. Need business attire for a job interview? Check. Want to look amazing on vacation? We have clothes that don't wrinkle! As you can see, I love my job, and believe that the clothes I sell are classic, timeless pieces that I can wear casually or dress up. It is a perfect concept for me, as a college student who doesn't want to spend a ton of time on an outfit, but still wants to look decent in class.

I thought I would just let you know about my job, and how it has impacted the way I regard fashion. Working in retail has shaped the way I dress. I am so aware that everything I wear is an expression of who I am. So, working at a store that allows me to not just sell a "Great dress" but instead makes the customer feel great about herself is so rewarding.

My only complaint? I LOVE COLOR. I often find myself wearing bright hues on my days off, if only White House Black Market opened a store that sold their same products but in color....oh man! What a concept...
