Summer Style & Savings

If you have been to the stores lately you have probably noticed the same thing as me, summer is over, at least as far as the retail world is concerned. Now, need for alarm, summer really isn’t over. Here in the North East we probably have at least another couple of months of summer weather.

But, if you want to get in on those great deals, now is the time to get in. I just went to Macy’s tonight and bought a pair of American Rag shorts for $11.99, same pair I bought back in June for $39.99 (only these are red). There was a woman in front of me who must have bought twenty shirts because they were so cheap, she couldn’t believe it. She kept asking the sales lady if the prices were right.

Not only can you get summer clothes at a discount, but you can find many pieces for fall and winter as well. A black tank can be worn under a blazer or sweater, a sleeveless dress can be worn with a jacket and you can wear summer sandals, depending on the style, well into fall.

So on your next lunch hour or mid-week shopping visit, go hit a couple of stores and get in on those savings. And if you have a coupon, even better!

I always say, looking good does not have to cost a lot of money. What it does entail is a little thought, a little planning, some shopping, and if necessary, a little assistance. And if that is the case with you, call me; together we can make beautiful things happen!

You deserve to live your dreams, start today!

I Love My Job!

I recently had a client who was receiving a major award at a big event and asked me to help her pick out an outfit for her big night. I was more than happy to do this for her, not only because it is what I live to do, but more importantly, because I knew it was her big night and I wanted to help her in whatever way I could.

Since I love to shop, and I like to have my clients feel comfortable, we went to one of her favorite stores to start our shopping journey. Our goal was to find the perfect dress for this special occasion.

Together we went through every dress in the store. I always tell my clients not to be so quick to say “no”, you never know when something might look great on you, even though it may be a different style than they are used to.

The important thing is they have to like the color, to me, that is key. Because no one wants to wear a color they hate, no matter how good something might look on them.

So as we went through dress by dress, I got a sense of what she liked and she started sharing with me how she wanted to look and feel that night. Her likes and dislikes.

After her trying on several dresses (again, I tell my clients you need to try on LOTS sometimes to find the right item), we found the perfect dress. Fit perfectly, looked great, she was very happy (most important) and I was happy I could help her.

The night of her event, she glowed. She is one Amazing woman!
