Why I Will Never Want a Career in Fashion

One of the most-asked questions I receive from family members and strangers is if I would ever want to pursue something fashion-related as my full-time job. In fact, when I was a senior in high school, people would often ask me, or even assume, that I would want to study fashion in college.

While I do repeat outfits sometimes, I love trying to wear a new combo every day. Emphasis on the word combo. Wearing a new look daily doesn’t have to mean constantly buying new clothes… It just means getting creative with what you already have! And that’s what I love so much about fashion.
