Huma Rashid is all of the following things in no particular order:
- a juris doctor as of May 2011
- an “efficient hater” (I want that on my tombstone)
- a native Beantown girl living in Chi-city
- looking for a job as a labor attorney, defense side (solidarity forever; our unions make us strong!)
- a root beer connoisseur
- a Muslim that supports her fellow Americans’ right to burn the Qur’an
- a fan of the ultra-obscure BBC comedy from the 1980s, Black Adder
- a bookworm
- a whale-smooching, tree-hugging, flaming moon maiden of a bleeding-heart liberal
- a fast talker
- a faster typist
- bespectacled
- a BritLit nerd, Oscar Wilde enthusiast, card-carrying member of Henry James’s Cult o’ Personality
- petite – at just over five feet and light enough to have to hold on to lamp posts on windy Chicago days, I’m about as small as a person can be while still being an adult
This site is a fun little hobby for me. It started during 1L when I noticed a fellow student wearing leggings, a ratty cut-off t-shirt, and hideous extensions. I thought that, despite our status as cash-strapped students, there must still be a way to dress in a decidedly business-casual fashion on a student’s budget.
Daily business casual outfits for under $100 were soon born. I stole the phrase “Business Casual Superstar” from my law school BFF, and he still bitches about it to this day. This blog helped keep me sane and became my utterly frivolous, spazzy outlet during a grueling 1L, and a welcome escape during the next two years, which really weren’t that bad.
I’m always up for some non-threatening stalking; anything else you want to learn about me can be accessed through the links in my sidebar, which will take you to my Facebook page and book blog, and so on.
This page has the following sub pages.
Uh … you forgot kick ass writer. Kind of important. :-P
Ha ha, thank you. :) Let’s hope I get published before I get my JD! I’d like to have that under my belt before going into the Barzam…
Fingers crossed!
Why on the earth I wasn’t following you?
Great blog , Huma, you are way ahead of the curve . . .
Thank you, Jim! I sure hope I am. :-P
It’s so interesting that your evolved from being about law to being about business casual wear. I’ve been giving advice to people who start their blogs and are hesitant on what to blog about, so I’ll use this as an example to tell them that it’s totally okay to start with something that evolves naturally into one’s real passion :)
G’luck with everything! I’m glad to have found you on Twitter.
