Jessica and I met almost five years ago when we were both attending college in Boston. We worked at a resale clothing shop and bonded over fashion. Over the years, we've somehow both relocated to Los Angeles, and started our own blogs and businesses. Working in the fashion industry has been a trying and eye-opening experience for both of us, and we've had many a long conversation about how to balance being a professional, strong, smart woman, and having an affinity for something that seems to vain and vapid. The answer to us has always been that fashion and power don't have to be mutually exclusive. In fact, fun fashion can be very empowering!
I've always subscribed to the Look Good, Feel Good philosophy, which drives me to make clothing for other people that will make them feel great about themselves. Through her work as a stylist, Jessica encourages her clients to look and feel their best through closet makeovers and simple style tricks.
But fashion doesn't always feel so great. Sometimes what you wear can lead to unwanted attention. So when Jessica introduced the idea of I Dress for Me, a fashion movement that encourages women to dress for no one but themselves, and that no matter what you wear, you deserve to be treated with respect, I was all in.
I hope you'll join both of us in celebrating the empowering qualities of fashion!
Today, in collaboration with my blogger bestie, Jessica from Hell or High Fashion, along with Expect Collection, and I Dress for Me, we are offering an awesome gift pack featuring a Kate Spade coin purse, two essie nail polishes, a pair of J Crew earrings, a $25 gift certificate to Expect and a $25 credit good towards a style profile by Jessica.
