We consider ourselves to be young-at-heart here at Girlmade. When we needed photos to promote Girl Empire, we thought, “How can we reach out to teenage girls? What do they like?”
We consulted Kayla and Sophee, our high school interns. Our dive into teenage culture revealed they like impromptu photo shoots, being with friends and making a statement with their personal style.
And they don’t like compromising that style when dressing for internships.
Armed with iPhones, props and — of course — cookies, we roamed downtown/Midtown Reno to prove affordable style doesn’t have to be sacrificed for a sweet job opportunity. A tremendous thank you to Plato’s Closet for letting us raid your store for some of these colorful, work-ready threads.
Holding hands like this in public is totally natural.
Intern Kayla rocks the most comfortable-looking pants.
Interns Christine and Sophee know the importance of a
trusty bag, whether it’s a large clutch or a roomy backpack.
Ashley, Christine and Kayla lean in for a selfie.
BONUS: Here’s a Great Gatsby-inspired top that is perfect for our upcoming League of Ladies event. It’s in July, but it’s never too late to start planning. (As far as we know, this sequined top is still available for purchase at Plato’s Closet here in Reno.)
Alex knows: When in doubt, wear sequins.
