What gets the most rotation in your work wardrobe? What piece should every working girl own?
"I’m always in black, brown, or blue cigarette jeans. They’re my go-to because they’re simple to build off of. Every working woman should have an item of clothing that feels like a valuable and true expression of self."

What's the top item on your shopping list right now? Any spring trends you're looking forward to?
"I need to replace the cigarette jeans that I’ve worn down to threads. Literally. I busted the back seam out of a pair — I’m thankful l was at home. I decided to stop following trends after I realized their implications: fanaticism leading to higher pressure on sweatshop laborers and fodder for fashion magazines that tell women what they should and shouldn’t be and do."

Where do you shop for work clothes in the DMV?
"These days, I only shop at Value Village and Unique Thrift unless I’m pressed for something specific."
