Welcome back to another #TeamTuesday! We are so thankful for 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.
Today is all about Sandra! Sandra is an elementary teacher and a mother of two. She loves fashion and works with us part time as a sales associate. She comes to us from Lake Park, MN. Sandra facilitates the connection between vendors and our store to ensure we have the latest fashion inventory in stock! Read below to find out more about Sandra and her fashion journey! Sandra's Style Guide Favorite fashion accessory?: "Earrings! They add so much to an outfit. There is so much variety to them and local artists I love to support!" One clothing item you could never live without?: "Black pants. They go with so many things and it is a flattering color on many bodies. They are so wearable, whether you do long pants, ankle pants, shorts, capris; you can find black in a variety of lengths!” Favorite color?: “Blue! It is such a pretty color. It is very calming to me and half my closet is filled with the color blue! I have always been drawn to it; my bridesmaids dresses were blue because I just love it so much and wanted to incorporate it into our special day as much as possible!" Jeans or sweatpants?: "Oooo, depends! It really depends the mood I'm in for the day and the event I'm going to! I like to be comfy so at home, you will most likely find me a sweats. I honestly don't wear that many jeans, but if I find a pair that fits well, I wear them EVERYWHERE! " What is your favorite fashion season?: "Spring Fashion. I get tired of wearing the heavy sweaters constantly in the winter, so it's nice to be able to break out the lighter weight wardrobe. I like the styles because there is a little bit of sleeve coverage and I'm still a little self conscious about sleeveless, so this is a great way to transition into the warmer weather while I still feel confident in my appearance! I like being able to wear dresses and skirts and not be cold. Spring fashion season just brings an airy, lighter, happy feeling to my wardrobe." You’re never fully dressed without what item?: “A bra. I know that makes people laugh when I say it, but it's true! I would never feel dressed without it. For me, they are necessary for me to feel confident and comfortable. Honestly, you wouldn't catch me dead out in public without one!" How fashion has brought a change in your life?: “Fashion gives me confidence. It gives an impression that is fun, flirty, whimsical, and so versatile. I like classy fashion, not necessarily "trendy" fashion. Trendy, I feel is more not the young side and changes very quickly; like holes in the jeans or crop tops. You know, the latest styles. Whereas classy fashion, I feel is a more overall statement about you as a woman. Classy fashion is not just one blouse or one top- it is the entire outfit; shoes, accessories, everything. I think if it is classy fashion, you probably can mix and match those pieces a little more than you can with trendy clothes." What are some of your favorite clothing brands (besides Clothed In Gold, obviously :))?: "Well, we'd have to do Chico's! I love the LOFT and ANN TAYLOR brand. I love White House Black Market. I am also really drawn to CJ Banks, depending on what it is! I like these brands because they seem to fit my body type better than others. The clothing also seems to hold up better than others. I'm not a "dry clean only" type of shopper, so I need to be able to wash my own clothes! Why did you choose to work at Clothed In Gold?: "I chose to work at Clothed In Gold because it is exciting to have a boutique in the area that specifically reaches out to the plus size community. For most of my life, I have been plus size and it has been discouraging to go into department stores and find the plus size section way in the back; no where close to other clothing. It may be close to the toys and appliances, but not next to other women fashion sections. So instead of hiding people, Clothed In Gold celebrates these individuals of all bodies types. This is something that the plus size community doesn't experience that often, if ever, and that is why I knew I had to work here!" What is your favorite quotation that encompasses the importance of fashion?: "Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing, and like everything that give pleasure, it is worth doing well."- Vivienne Westwood Stop by Clothed In Gold Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week to meet Sandra! She is so excited to be a part of this team and can’t wait to style you soon! Stay Golden
