What a week it has been for Headlines! On Wednesday, I had the privilege of presenting the company to this year's Georgetown Compass Fellows. The new fellows asked questions about what it means to be an entrepreneur in college (answer: much fun, no sleep) and how to balance business, school, and life (answer: much fun, no sleep).
Now- and here comes the big news- as in really big, on the front page of HuffPo yesterday big.
Kenneth Cole has formed a partnership with Compass and has pledged $500,000! So, what does this mean for Headlines, and for you?
It means that Headlines is even more dedicated to reaching its fundraising goals. For exactly one-fivehundredth of what Kenneth Cole gave Compass, we can put Headlines in stores across America. Get the deets here! Ten seconds and ten bucks can make a world of difference.
Kenneth Cole talked to the conference attendees, including myself, about how fashion is the image we project to the world and that is why clothing is important. He's right- but with all due respect, he's missing a part of the truth.
Headlines operates on the premise that what you wear is first and foremost for you. How do you want to see yourself? This is a much easier question to answer than trying to figure out what other people want you to look like. For all of you lit majors out there, here's where things get paradoxical: Don't dress for other people, but by all means, make other people happy. The best way to do that? Be you! If you do your best work in polka dots, then get speckled and get going.
With that, please head on over to StartSomeGood and show some love for Headlines. Thanks!
