December is finally here and with all the buzz about advent calendars. And I thought—why not create one for your fashion career?
Imagine this: every day, you dedicate just 10-30 minutes to a fun, focused activity that brings you closer to your dream job in fashion. A little daily dose of career magic!
Here’s how it works: Write the activities we suggest below on sticky notes or create a digital checklist. Each day, open one, dive in, and enjoy a bite-sized way to invest in yourself and your future in fashion. It’s simple, effective, and (most importantly) fun!
But here’s the twist: things are always better when done together. That’s where my special gift comes in. 🎁
