"So while Suze&amp;#x27;s lying on a beach somewhere warm and exotic, things here haven&amp;#x27;t really slowed down. I&amp;#x27;ll be manning the blog this week, so bear with me - I have a week filled with market appointments, early morning tv, designer previews, and prepping boards and research for upcoming stories. Since you all are always asking me how the fashion assistants dress for work, I thought I&amp;#x27;d share a couple pictures from around the fashion department this morning and give you a little insight into each girl&amp;#x27;s look. Nicole says she always wears bangles to give her outfits a little something - she picked up some of these gold ones on a recent trip to India. Also, she&amp;#x27;s addicted to ballet flats. Her take? &amp;quot;I justify my never wearing high heels by wearing really short skirts. I figure I couldn&amp;#x27;t possibly pair high heels with such a short hem, so I simply must wear my oh-so-comfy flats.&amp;quot; Jessica found these perfect Gianni-era high-waisted Versace pants for $5 at a thrift store. Yes you read that correctly - Versace. Pants. Five dollars. Maria has an older sister who also works in the fashion industry and her Temperley dress was a gift from her when she worked for the company. The cardigan is Dolce and Gabbana - &amp;quot;I wear a lot of basics and feel it&amp;#x27;s a good investment to buy good quality staples that will last for a long time.&amp;quot; As for me? I never wear anything tight, so this Robert Rodriguez dress is the perfect amount of volume, and the snug little cardigan keeps me from drowning in fabric. The glasses are purely ornamental; the lenses are plastic and I have perfect 20/20 vision. Though after squinting through them at my computer screen all day, I&amp;#x27;m not sure that will hold true tomorrow. What about you guys? Any items in your wardrobe you can&amp;#x27;t live without? Any fab bargain pieces that have a great story? Share, please! P.S. If you&amp;#x27;ve got questions about what it&amp;#x27;s like being a fashion assistant, ask away!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
