If I can't talk about fashion in class, I'm going to talk about it here! Check out this new article from Forbes.com about shopping smart during the credit crunch (the LBD - Little Black Dress - has perhaps never been such a critical wardrobe component). Just because we're in a recession doesn't mean you should look any less professional in your next job interview. This article is a worthwhile read for all you professional (or professionally-aspiring) ladies out there!

And really? Why can't we discuss the fashion industry in class, instead of constantly churning over aerospace, automobiles, and Apple? Many of the same principles apply, and the fashion industry impacts us all. Sigh. A girl can dream of a Chanel case study...

Cheers,

Jen
