Dressing Up is More Than What you Wear
Who is thecultureshock.org?

Dressing up is more than what you wear; it is about your attitude, knowing your environment and knowing the unwritten rules of different social situations. Additionally,TheCultureShock.org aims to promote wardrobe creativity, while minimizing financial barriers and still looking professional. This is done through the incorporation of items that were obtained by “thrifting”.
OUR GOAL
The goal of TheCultureShock.org is to provide a “one-stop-shop” to equip high school students and young professionals with the basic knowledge needed to
excel in common career environments
and social situations.
Culture shock
(noun)

A surprised emotion experienced by a person who is exposed to a NEW or
STRANGE
environment.
