Work Ready: The Interview

by Jamila Pierre


The first image is an outfit I put together for my ideal interview in a creative position. This to me is a balance between I'm a little bit fierce, but I have respect for your establishment, so I didn't turn it up too high on you. The second look is the outfit I wore on my job interview for, needless to say, a less creative position. It is quite conservative, neat, and clean, with a minimal amount of punch... if any. I'd much prefer going on an interview where my personality gets a chance to shine a bit, but these days you do what you must to "get er done".

What I'm Loving in the stores. (Shoes and Bags)

by Jamila Pierre


Can I just say that the store Strawberry is really doing great things right now. After a grueling five hours of waiting to be interviewed for this new position I applied for and finally being done with it all, I stepped outside of the building where it was being held and to my excitement there was a Strawberry right across the street.  I am a big fan of strawberry, even though they don't have a plus size range to my knowledge anywhere in the city except for their 34th street branch, they do however have a great selection of shoes and bags at every location. These are just a few that are in stores now that are making me super excited and ready to max out my card. All I have to say is DON'T sleep on Strawberry because they have unique styles for reasonable prices with great sales as well. Happy shopping Ladies!
