Janelle Monae Walkedinto C&W Apparel!

Singer/actress and fashion icon JanelleMonae walked into C&W and expressed thatshe was impressed with our dedication to FairTrade goods. For anyone who doesn’t know,Janelle Monae is a singer, songwriter, and morerecently, an actress. She played famous NASAmathematician Mary Jackson in the movie“Hidden Figures,” which was just released lastDecember. Not to mention the success of hersongs like “Yoga” and “Electric Lady.” If you’venever heard of her, feel free to check out hermusic and thank us later.

More importantly, Janelle has an impeccablesense of style. She often blends masculine andfeminine styles to create one that is her own.Her signature suit and coiffed hair is reminis-cent of James Brown in his prime, yet she stillmanages to keep it feminine. She’s also beenknown to wear some daring designs on the redcarpet, but she’s opted for a particularly femi-nine look as of late. According to Vogue’s web-site she even attended Paris Fashion Week inshort cropped dresses and fur coats. We at C&WApparel are inspired by her and hope to see herat London Fashion Week this fall.

Three Fashion Tips for College StudentsOn the Go

.

•Buy for cuteness and comfort

•Dress appropriately for the weather

•Be organizedThe first tip is to buy cute and com-

fortable. When walking around on a col-lege campus going to multiple classes, youwant to look good, but comfort is also apriority. We recommend clothing that iseasy to move in such as a t-shirt dress ora maxi dress paired with a pair of Adidassneakers or sandals; both of which shouldbe relatively easy to walk in.

Our second tip is to dress for theweather. Don’t want to get caught walk-ing to class in the rain or snow with noway to keep yourself dry. It’s safe to sayyou’ll always need a coat of some sort, so,unless you’re willing to buy many differ-ent coats, buy one or two neutral coloredcoats that match just about everything inyour wardrobe. Black and taupe tend towork well with mostly any color.

Our third and final tip is to organizeyour clothes in a way that makes it easyto pick an outfit. You don’t want to becaught 10 minutes before class not know-ing what to wear. Separate your clothesby color, style, or season. This makes get-ting ready much easier, so that you caneasily match them when pressed for time.
