While shopping for a dress for my junior prom, I became so enraptured by the perfectly intricate details on the dazzling Sherri Hill dresses that I immediately started following the company on Instagram. To this day, I am still in awe of both my Sherri Hill dress and its company.

Recognizing that retail fashion experience might prove beneficial in my future as I pursue a career in this industry, I recently acquired a job as a dress specialist at David’s Bridal. Every day I work, I get to help girls find formal dresses they love and that are perfect for their various upcoming events.

There's nothing I love more than finding a bargin on clothing! I always joke that if I bought clothes at full price, I would quickly go broke. Instead, my retail therapy includes carefully combing through retail emails daily, searching for just the right sale. The shirt pictured above is one of my most recent acquisitions, and at just $4, it was a steal!
