Welcome, Wall Street Journal Readers!
Greetings, Wall Street Journal readers! I’m honored to report that Omiru was featured in the WSJ’s Blog Watch. Here’s what Nikki Waller, an editor at the Wall Street Journal Online, says about us:
"Fashion-school graduate Trisha Okubo started Omiru in 2005 to deliver what she calls "real style for real people." Omiru’s writers answer readers’ questions — including one recently on what to wear to a creative-industry job interview — with tips and examples of garments and accessories from major retailers, such as Banana Republic, Gap and Forever 21. Keeping with Ms. Okubo’s mission of democratizing style, most pieces spotlighted on the site cost less than $100…Readers weary of unrealistic fashion advice in magazines will welcome tips more focused on their lives — looking work-appropriate is a frequent topic — and budgets."
