Interview season is right around the corner and I’ve found that I have less work appropriate clothes than I thought. The problem with work clothes is that it’s expensive to buy a bunch at one time.

I bought an item this past weekend that combines two of my favorite things; nude hues and maxi skirts.

Baggin’ Out: LeSportsac JOYRICH Pouch Set
Every time I go out and want to carry a wristlet (you know, a pouch on a string that goes around your wrist), I always sigh. I only own 2, one black and one nude and for a handbag columnist, that’s pitiful. Thankfully, LeSportsac and JOYRICH have come together to solve my wristlet needs in a creative and chic way!
Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Kirsten Dunst is Polka Dot Pretty
Polka dot is a classic print. It is understated enough to be formal, but still whimsical enough to be dressed down. This polka dot blouse could easily be layered under a blazer and paired with your favorite black skirt to create a more sleek look, but I’m also a huge fan of the way Kirsten paired hers with a white maxi skirt.

If we could only use one word to describe college students it would be “drunk.” Wait. I mean, it would be “broke.” (Though “drunk” is also pretty spot on.) Between the cost of a college education, the books to get that education, and the drinks that come along with that education, most college students don’t have much money left to do the one thing we love most…shop!
Budget Stylista: Blizzard Chic
The weather has been bat sh*t crazy. And totally unpredictable. Sort of like your emotions right around your period. And even though Thundersnow is a fun word to say (especially when said like this: THUNDERSNOOOOOW!!!!) the very cold truth is that actually walking around in Thundersnow is the opposite of fun.
Wardrobe Wish List: Lipstick Rosette Lace Tank
It’s not easy choosing a shirt to wear out on a Saturday night. Maybe it doesn’t take you as long as it takes me, but I always try to match my ensemble based on the elements of the evening. Is this a night with the girls or the guys? Bar or club? Dinner or just drinks?
