Whitney Thompson: Confidence Is Key

Whitney Thompson, winner of "America's Next Top Model" and spokesperson for Fashion Bug, had this to say about fashion when looking for a job.


  • When going on a job interview, your best accessory is confidence. Being perfectly poised and rocking in a well-put together outfit breeds confidence in spades.
  • Punctuality and articulation are just as important as your professional appearance.
  • Being fashionable doesn't mean that you have to break the bank. You can update pieces in your current wardrobe with new accessories. Splurge on the staple pieces and purchase trend pieces from stores like Fashion Bug, Forever 21 or Charlotte Russe.
  • Just remember to keep in mind the industry you are entering or working in. The fashion, beauty and lifestyle fields are more open to trends; but accounting, business and law call for a business look.
