Shopping Trip With ECM Winner

Yesterday we took Brooke on a shopping trip to find the perfect suit for her makeover. She tried on a variety of different styles and colors before she found the perfect look. Suit shopping can be tricky, especially as seasons are changing. You do not want to be in a winter suit for a spring interview. Duh! And you thought fashion was easy didn't you?

Even though we were able to find an awesome trendy suit, we are still having difficulty finding a shirt to wear under it. It is important to complete the look. Since the suit Brooke chose has an interesting pattern, it is important that we find a nice solid undershirt. A common misconception is that the a button down is needed under a suit. Really, a nice cotton top will do the trick, as long as in is professional looking. We did found a shirt for under Brooke's outfit, but it has an embroidered heart on it. Not so professional.

Brooke had a lot of fun dressing up. Molly (our camera woman and film editor, if you were not aware) got some really funny footage which will make for a great final product. There might even be a blopper reel if you're lucky.

Today is the big salon day. We will be getting Brooke's hair cut, and giving her a manicure because hands are important for a good first impression. I am looking forward to keeping you updated on the rest of Extreme Career Makeover. Stick with me.
