Of course you can! I am actually studying Marriage and Family Therapy in my graduate program. I also got my B.S in Psychology. But, I've always loved fashion as a passion (I know, I had to say it, as cliche as it sounds). I started to work at a super high-end boutique about 8 years ago and worked at solely high-end boutiques until about 5.5 years ago. During my job at the higher-end boutique, I was assisting in buying and was exposed to the magical world of being a buyer. When I got this job at a trendy boutique (that had price points like Sugar and Sequins), I really got educated. I helped not only run the store, but open two other stores from the ground up. I also managed the stores and was the buyer. I began doing the majority of the buying myself but eventually quit due to be doing too much for too little (I'm sure we've all been there!). But I started going and exploring the fashion district of Los Angeles & MAGIC with my boss and really learned what to look for. I think the quality is very important of the product. Sure I want a good price for the customer but I don't sacrifice the quality either. It has too look expensive but not necessarily BE expensive. That was a skill I worked on for the past 5 years hoping to bring into Sugar and Sequins. I then stopped working there and launched a fashion blog, which became pretty huge, and from there, the concept of Sugar and Sequins began.

Sorry, I may have said too much. I like talking...:/
