Yes, Stephanie’s wardrobe jumped the queue, but I felt that it was important to get information to those in their last year of school so they can get a head-start on the wardrobe-building.  Education is stressful enough (as is job hunting!) without having to do it all at the last minute.  I know you understand…

    The gift card idea is a good one. When my brother graduated from law school (quite a few years after his undergraduate education), my husband and I gave him a gift card to Brooks Brothers so he could buy a new suit for interviewing. As he had been working in a nonprofessional job and attending school, he really needed some new clothes for his new career. We were happy to be able to help him out.

    Thanks for these simple, easy-to-follow instructions. I have enjoyed your posts for some time and this will be very helpful as I move from watching others to building a wardrobe of my own.
