On air in New York, Sandra mostly sticks to dresses. Sometimes going outside your comfort zone is the best way to find things that look unexpectedly amazing on you. “What I love about Gwen,” Sandra said, “is that she does not push anything on you, but gets you to try on clothes you wouldn’t normally pick…and they work!” I agree. So I was not only able to meet Sandra, but the stylist who helps her pull looks together. Then again, don’t we all when talking about clothes and fashion? As luck would have it, the day I went to FOX to meet Sandra, the stylist was there for their bi-annual trunk show. I felt like I was talking to one of my girlfriends. Sandra embraces color!Ī graduate of Louisiana State University, Sandra is clearly very intelligent and when I met her, incredibly down-to-earth. equities and options orders, conducted portfolio analysis, prepared commission reports and serviced clients. Prior to this, she was a trader at Hermitage Capital, where she executed U.S. She also assisted in the development of program trading models for existing and prospective clients. equities and derivatives markets and contributed to breaking news and analysis.īefore Bloomberg, Sandra was the Director of Institutional Sales and Trading at Terra Nova Institutional, where she handled investment management and hedge fund accounts. Prior to joining FBN, Smith was an on-air reporter for Bloomberg Television. Sandra Smith joined FOX Business Network as a reporter in October 2007 where she divides her time between New York and Chicago. Sandra was born and raised in Wheaton, a suburb of the Windy City, and spent her childhood following her father around the floor of the CME where he worked as a commodities trader. You can tell because she is wearing separates. She is given a specific amount twice a year (spring/summer and fall/winter) and works with an in-house stylist, Gwen (who I got to meet) to chose her best looks that work for both her Chicago and New York reporting. I thought she would have some great tips since she has to dress professionally for her on-air camera work reporting live from the CME and in the studios, while sticking to a budget. Therefore, Sandra is the perfect role model for professional women facing the struggle of tightening purse strings and still climbing the corporate ladder in style. What you might not know is that Sandra (and the rest of the women on FOX) have a strict wardrobe budget, so they must chose wisely. I left the hour I spent with her wanting to wear purple, pink and electric blue! That is quite a change from my basically New York influenced black wardrobe. Us regular folk are not always as lucky, but I thought there might be something to learn from her. She’s lucky, she can wear basically anything and look beautiful. When it comes to her working wardrobe Sandra thankfully embraces color. Now I do care about the news, but I care more about her clothing. Sandra primarily works out of New York City, but owns a home with her husband in Chicago and reports from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) as well.
