Scholarship-Ing


 





I've been receiving a ton of emails from college students telling me how much they love the site. Honestly, I really can’t tell you ladies how much I appreciate your feedback and admire your drive.  In an effort to show you young ladies just how much I am rooting for you and your success, I would love to give you a little something that I hope will go a long way. 

This is what I envision. A contest where any female student seeking higher education (e.g. college, fashion school, post graduate education, etc.) can participate. Send me a photo of you in your most fabulous outfit, I'll post it for all the other Sophisticates to see, and over a series of weeks, they'll vote on which outfit they love the most. The winner will receive a $500 dollar scholarship. Use your funds for books or a pair of fab new shoes (both necessities for any college diva lol). Spread the word and shoot me an email if you would be interested in participating. If I get enough emails, then the contest is on!  This is my way of giving back and I hope it is well received.

Hoping that all of you lovely ladies out there know that you are powerful beyond measure and beautiful just because you say so!

xoxo

  4. I love when people help others, this is one of the most unique giveaways I came across & a great one. Students struggle whether it's academically or financially & for someone to help them no matter how big or small is very thoughtful & generous, keep up the great work :)
