Today is #TeamTuesday! This business would not be possible without all the hardworking sales associates who are dedicated to the heart of Clothed In Gold's Mission: making boutique shopping a pleasant experience that promotes creativity, empowerment, and individualism through style and fashion at an affordable price.
Meet Izzy! Izzy is a rising sophomore in college and comes to us from sunny Santa Monica, CA. She is the heart of our community outreach team. Read below to find out more about this incredible woman! Izzy's Style Guide Favorite fashion accessory?: "Barretts, obvi!" One clothing item you could never live without?: "Dresses. I LOVE dresses!” Favorite color?: “Almost all of my clothes are lilac! BIG purple girl over here! Jeans or sweatpants?: "Okay, I know people really hate jeans-- but I LOVE them. Once you find the right fit and style, there is no going back! I could wear denim all day every day if possible. But of course, sweats are nice to lounge in. :)" What is your favorite fashion season?: "Fall Fashion. There are SO many options to layer and ways to mix and match pieces. I love wear a sweater over a summer dress to make it look like two separate pieces. And then if I get hot in the afternoon, I can just whip my sweater off and I still am rocking the dress!" You’re never fully dressed without what item?: “OOOH! So hard to pick. I’m going to say I never leave the house without a pair of white sneakers and my Kate Spade handbag. And also a mask! #maskupND!” How fashion has brought a change in your life?: “To me, fashion is a way that I can express my creativity, but also connect with people from all walks of life! I discovered my love for fashion really early on in my life, and I think, no I KNOW, it gave me an outlet to be creative and express my identity from an early age. I would not be who am I today if I did not find fashion. And there is no one “right” way to fashion. That is the beauty of it! You can mix and match, wear the same thing for days, or completely change your style! There is so much love I have for fashion and I want everyone to have the opportunity to obtain access to pieces that allow them to express themselves, and make connections through their style! What are some of your favorite clothing brands (besides Clothed In Gold, obviously :))?: "For a long time, I really struggled to find clothes that fit right AND made be feel empowered. Coming from California, it is the epicenter of thin and clean living. I know that is a generalization, but being in a state where the sun is almost always shining and beaches are around virtually every corner; that also means there is a lot of pressure to have a "bikini body" year round. Like what does that even mean!? All bodies are bikini bodies. It wasn't until I found Loud Bodies that I was able to find clothes I REALLY loved. What is so wonderful about LOUD BODIES is that they are sustainable, affordable, and carry such a wide range of sizes-- XXS-10XL! This type of shop is really rare to come about, because they cater to ALL bodies, and are even willing to custom build pieces that don't fit the ranges they have. I found that to be really cool. No other brand that I know of does that. I also really love Boohoo, LOFT, and Torrid! Why did you choose to work at Clothed In Gold?: "Because this community has nothing like our business. While I love stores like LOFT and Boohoo, all of their plus-size fashion is online. I can't go into the stores here in town and find boutique fashion for bodies like mine. Clothed in Gold not only carries up to size 40 in-stores, but we also are dedicated to helping customers find items online if we are out of stock. Online isn't the only option for individuals in the Fargo/Moorhead plus size community anymore. That is what I love about this store. I don't feel like a second class citizen when it comes to fashion here." What is your favorite quotation that encompasses the importance of fashion?: "Don't be into trends. Don't make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live." --Gianni Versace Stop by Clothed in Gold Wednesday and Friday this week to meet Lizzy! She is so excited to be a part of this team and can’t wait to style you soon! Stay Golden
