in an attempt to be creatively fulfilled
Sometimes, a long commute for work or school is unavoidable.

That totals up to a LOT of hours in a car per month, for each of us.

This post is brought to you by Post-it® Brand, thank you for supporting the brands that make Dani Dearest happen!
When I was in college I juggled multiple jobs, a full-time class schedule, many club commitments, a personal life, and my blog all at the same time. I had to get creative with how I organized all of these commitments in order to stay afloat and reach all of my deadlines.
Now, as a year post-grad, I’m able to reflect back on what I did to juggle work and school at the same time and acknowledge what worked, what didn’t, and what I would do differently!
Today I’m partnering with Post-it® Brand for back to school season to share my top tips for balancing work and school! Read More!
Thank you to Kohl’s for sponsoring this post, and thank you for supporting the brands that make Dani Dearest possible!
During my 3rd year of college, I landed an internship at a large corporate publishing company. One of my first thoughts after accepting the job offer was “I need a new wardrobe, I need professional clothes.”
My wardrobe consisted of t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, and sundresses… not exactly considered professional attire.
Since I was on a college student’s budget, I had to be selective in the professional items that I did purchase, and I had to find creative ways to incorporate clothes that I already owned and clothes that I could also wear to class into my professional wardrobe to save money.
Kohl’s was my first stop. With incredibly affordable styles and great sales, their Junior’s department is perfect for any college student, no matter if you’re looking to add to your lecture hall outfits or start a professional wardrobe like me.
Through working and going to classes, I learned the value of being able to quickly transition my outfits from classroom to professional with a few simple changes to save time and money.
Today I’ve partnered with Kohl’s to show you how their SO clothing line is full of stylish and versatile items that you can easily wear in the classroom, alter slightly, and then go rock it in the corporate world. Read More!
