I really hope she outgrows the fashion thing. I see her as being a stylish engineer (#130 talks about it a little) or something in finance.

What's wrong with fashion?
I can see her going into fashion on the business side, or into finance.

Frankly I find fashion a little ridiculous, because it's so arbitrary and changes so fast. But if Stacey was so into it at 13, is she still going to be that crazy about it as an adult? Or will it take a back seat to some other interest, career wise? I think she'd still follow fashions and dress according to them, though.

There's a book called Marketing Girlhood that talks about a group of girls, who all loved fashion as high schoolers, but as the girls grew up they found other intrests.
I always read Stacey as a girl who is intrested in fashion and knows what looks good on her, but knows that she can't make fashion herself, so her options are probably providing funding or being on the business end of a fashion house. Plus, her intrest in math seems to outweigh the love of fashion.

I love fashion, and I'm more interested in it now than I was at 13.

I don't think fashion is ridiculous, no more so than, say, gardening, or sport, or any other hobby. People are interested in all kinds of things. Plus, fashions sells, lol.

I could see her winding up in a job pretty similar to her mothers, to be honest.

Fashion marketing. She'd be able to use both of her chapter 2 interests: money and clothes.  Nothing wrong with turning childhood/teenage interests into a career! |

I was tempted by fashion marketing, which is a definate possibility. But I've always seen her as an attractive, well dressed accountant for a NY firm.

^Accounting is a rather male-dominated profession, so that would be a bonus for Stacey. ;D

I chose fashion marketing because it combines two of her interests, fashion and math. It seemed the most logical of the choices.

This is off-topic, but I just remembered that Stacey combined fashion and math for herself in the very first book...when she wore a sweatshirt and skirt with yellow number tens on them ;D

^That sounds like something Karen Brewer should wear, not Miss Sophisticated from NYC. I guess there really is a huge difference in maturity between 7th and 8th graders because I don't think Stacey would be caught dead in that outfit in later books.

I see her as a success in the finance world. She then starts her own clothing line. And she also teaches math on the side, maybe as an adjunct professor. She also becomes a spokeswoman for diabetes, counseling people on how to deal with it. And all of the while, she's a party girl.
