GUEST FASHION EDITOR: SUE AND COURTNEY W... - May 2012
How would you describe Sue’s style?
“My mom used to wear traditional, boxy suits. Now that Erika and I are working for the company, she’s opened up to patterns and dresses and gotten a little more creative with her wardrobe†— Courtney
How would you describe Courtney’s style?
“Courtney is always professional, trendy and tasteful. She’s big into accessories, which is my downfall. She dresses like a leader. If she comes to work and there’s a spontaneous meeting, she’s prepared. She shops mostly at J. Crew and Banana — staples that still have a mix of trendy and classic.â€

BCBG
“I love it for work. I wear it with different skirts or pants. It’s very versatile, so I can pair it with jeans and boots when it’s suddenly cold in Florida. I have a rule that I can’t wear boots unless it’s below 60 degrees" — Courtney

FOREVER 21 JACKET "This is my Michael Jackson jacket. I like to buy very trendy items at Forever 21, because they are affordable, so it's OK if they go out of style next year. This is one of those items that people are afraid to pick up but when they see it on me, they realize it is wearable."

VINTAGE BRACELET "I found this copper bracelet at Goodwill. I wear it almost every day, I love the embellishments and, more importantly, I love that I found something so beautiful for a couple of dollars. It really takes the value of things and puts it in a different light - it doesn’t matter how much you spend on something."
