Meet Christina Marshall of Macy’s in North Dallas – NorthPark Center

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christina Marshall.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Christina. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I grew up in Northern New Jersey about 20 miles outside of NYC. Going into Manhattan to shop, go to the theatre, visit museums, etc. was the norm. I always looked forward to visiting all the flagship stores to see the latest and greatest in fashion. NYC is just an electric place to be with inspiration everywhere you look. I knew from a very young age that the fashion industry is where I wanted to lead my career. When it came time for me to go to college my parents wanted me to leave the tri-state area and explore different parts of the country.

That is how I wound up going to The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) where I graduated with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. After graduation, I moved back to the tri-state area and worked for Bloomingdales. Two years passed and I was starting to get restless, wondering what else was out there for me. On a complete whim, I packed up everything and moved to Dallas, TX not knowing one single sole. I knew Dallas had a growing fashion industry and some of the friendliest people that I met in college were from Texas. So, why not?!?! I had nothing to lose. Fast forward to 18 years later, I am still working in the fashion industry and loving every changing minute of it.

Has it been a smooth road?
I don’t think that anyone can honestly say life has been a smooth road for them. There are so many obstacles and challenges that we all encounter on a daily basis. I believe it is how you handle them that makes all the difference. I am a glass half full type of girl. I choose to start each day with a positive outlook and have faith that things will always work out the way they were meant to not necessarily the way you want them to be. I treat others the way that I would like to be treated and respect the fact that we are all on different journeys in this life. What keeps me on this path? Lots and lots of self-care (Bikram Yoga, weekly acupuncture, and LOTS of good skincare) as well as travel! My goal is to visit as many new countries as I can each year. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am always planning for my next getaway. Taking care of me allows me to take care of others.

We’d love to hear more about your work.
I have been working at Macy’s for almost eight years as a stylist/personal shopper. Macy’s Personal Stylist service at Macy’s is a fun, fast, and complimentary offering for our customers!! I love what I do and look forward to coming to work every single day. The best part of my job is that I get to meet new people all the time as well as build on relationships with my current clients. I never want them to leave Macy’s and a friend/relative/coworker ask them “Who told you to buy that”? I want them to feel beautiful and confident in what they are wearing. I believe that style is about the individual and not necessarily about the trends. I love to hear that they received tons of compliments on their purchases. A stylist/client relationship should always have that foundation of trust with the feeling of shopping with your best girlfriend.

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Best part of Dallas: It’s a big city with small-town vibes. No matter where I am in Dallas I am constantly running into someone I know. It’s one of the friendliest cities I have ever been to. You have a friend in Dallas no matter where you may be.
