Thank you so much for visiting Champagne Taste. I'm excited to share my love of fashion and my weekly inspiration with you. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I started Champagne Taste...
My name is Anna Jurken. I'm a Milwaukee native, a student-athlete, and fashion enthusiast currently studying International Business and Marketing at Marquette University. As a member of the Marquette Women's Soccer team I spend most of my time wearing sweats because I'm either on my way to a workout or practice or have just finished one of the two. However, I always get dressed up when the opportunity presents itself and have found that my confidence is always highest when I'm dressed well.
So, why the name Champagne Taste? Well, growing up my dad always told me I have "Champagne Taste on a Coca-Cola budget," meaning I desire some of the finer things when it comes to clothing, but only enough money to buy a bottle of Coke. My hopes for this blog are to teach college women how to have Champagne Taste while not going over their budget. Along the way I'll share my thoughts on splurging and my tips on shopping for deals.
There are a few reasons why I decided to share my love of fashion with you all. As a college student it can be difficult to dress well and have style on a budget. As a college athlete, my schedule is quite busy with practice, workouts, and class. There simply is no time for a job, which means no money. During my first two years in college I discovered I either had to kick my shopping addiction or learn to shop smart. I chose the latter. I learned that it's possible to have good taste and style without spending ridiculous amounts of money. Champagne Taste is my way of showing the financially challenged world of college women (yes we're women) that it's possible to have your dream closet without breaking the bank. I also decided to start Champagne Taste as a way to further discover my hometown while having fun with friends.
