What gets the most rotation in your work wardrobe? What piece should every working girl own?
"My J.Crew pixie pants and a sweater dress, motorcycle jacket, and ankle boots [from All Saints]! As pragmatic as it sounds, I think every working lady should have a snappy blazer that is cut to the nines — and no, it needn't look too corporate."

What's the top item on your shopping list right now?
"An Equipment blouse."

Where do you shop for work clothes in the DMV?
"I always find something awesome at Treasury. I also love All Saints for edgy pieces. H&M, Zara, and J.Crew are my standbys for basics. Buffalo Exchange on 14th Street is great for cheap, funky finds. Since I work on U Street, I salivate at the windows of Muleh and Redeem on a regular basis, but they're for special occasions and inspiration only. I bought myself a gorgeous coral-colored Vivienne Westwood Fond dress at Muleh for my first opening when I got this job — that goes down as one of the defining sartorial moments of my professional life to date."
