Thursday (this marks the 4th week at Jenny Yoo)

I started out the morning putting dresses out on the floor. These dresses had come from other stores or clients. After that I refilled the swatches in the center console which go to clients. This is important because it gives the clients a reference not only of the different colors that they liked but also the different materials that the dresses come in. Therefore it is important to refill the stock because it saves time and energy and presents the company as organized, efficient and thoughtful. After that I sat down with Jenny because she had a special project for me. On Tuesday during the meeting about the photo shoots she had mentioned that she was designing a new wedding gown that clients can customize, she explained it as a plain white strapless with pleats in the bodice, and she wants to create a series of belts that clients can attach to the dress to make it their own but at the same time be more or less unique. So my task was to go out to other stores and look at jewelry, belts, details on clothing for inspiration to create these belts and then over the weekend I am going to sketch out some ideas as well.

After gathering ideas and uploading pictures I listened to messages and took notes. Nicole who is the Receptionist taught me how to listen to the messages on her phone and also we reviewed how to retrieve and package a dress when a client comes to pick it up. She had shown me once before but this time I got to learn how to enter that specific event into the Jenny Yoo computer system which is important because it records the time, date and who picked up the dress in order to prevent confusion or the loss of a dress.

By the end of Thursday I was pretty much just doing normal office activities, filiing invoice folders, post wedding date folders and doing some swatching.
