So fashion PR could be my calling. I have always loved clothes. And shoes. And jewelry. And purses. And you get the idea. Even as a little girl, I'd be ready to leave the house and decide my outfit just wasn't quite right, so I'd dash back upstairs and put together a completely new look. As you probably guessed, it drove my parents crazy.
Now as a college senior, exploring the realm of PR niches, my professor introduced me to the world of fashion PR and fashion blogs. I must say, I'm smitten. Check out PR Couture, if you haven't already. They recently did an interview with Najwa Moses, who writes her own fashion blog, and she made the coolest comment on the difference between fashion and style. My What-Not-to-Wear-addict self loves this distinction. She talked about how "fashion" is really the industry- designers, runways, etc.- whereas "style" comes naturally. She's totally right, and like she said-stylish people just know how to dress themselves to look fabulous, whatever the season's trend.
This makes me think back to a job opening I saw in fashion PR, and I started to wonder whether I'm actually stylish enough for a career in that industry. I've always felt like my style is unique, and thanks to Najwa Moses' great advice, I can take confidence in my stylish self. I mean, I already put so much time and effort in on the style front anyways, since I love it, why not consider incorporating it into my career too?
