Kaelin Dodge Title: InStyle Writer Education: DePaul University Location: Los Angeles, CA Kaelin is a Los Angeles-based writer who specialized in writing about fashion and shopping at InStyle. While she’s long had an interest in fashion, she was able to grow her shopping expertise through numerous retail positions—if you have a Madewell question, she’s your girl. Experience Kaelin Dodge has been working in media since 2019. At InStyle, she covers fashion trends, celebrity looks, and the weekend’s best deals. In addition to offering her own expertise (again, send all Madewell questions her way), she’s interviewed field experts—including Queer Eye’s Tan France and celebrity stylist Molly Dickson—on fashion trends.Favorite Purchase:These heeled leather sandals from Eckhauss Latta are my prized possession. I fell in love with them in the store and told myself if I could find them secondhand, I could buy them. Would you believe I, a shopping expert, did just that? I bought those a little less than a year ago and have since built my entire wardrobe around them because I love those chili-red, baseball-glove-esque heels that much.Favorite Review: Before working in media, I was a manager at a Madewell store, a job that fueled my shopping addiction (mostly joking) and love for the brand’s quality denim and elevated basics. One of my favorite reviews is this one, where I shared the Madewell staples I’d buy (and have bought) over and over again. Education Kaelin received a bachelor’s degree in political science from DePaul University.
