Dear Sue,
I recently had the great pleasure of teaching a class
through Marin (CA) County's Continuing Education
program (next one will be Nov. 5th). We explored
everything from
establishing a
personal "look" to discovering the best
ALTERNATIVE
SHOPPING resources! It was fun, mutually
informative
and exhilarating.
What I love about teaching women is their
enthusiasm! Women who have decided to open
themselves to new avenues of _expression and self-
discovery are curious, passionate and bold. Much to
my fascination, these participants belonged to two
discreetly different groups: TALL (5'9" - 5'10")
and PETITE (under 5'4"), each challenged by
finding
clothes that fit, let alone at reasonable prices!
In reviewing various resources we found 22 on-line
sites and actual stores catering specifically to the
statuesque! For those (like me) who are "vertically
challenged," we found many terrific purveyors of
clothing
designed for Munchkins of every shape imaginable.
ALL IN A DAY'S WORK!
If you would like to attend a class or workshop; or
desire a bit more personal attention, let me take you
by the hand to a more glorious you (where you will
spend a little to save a lot). There are several ways
we can work together, such as my rapidly
approaching October
4th in-store workshop (see below). Another option is
my GOLDEN HANGER MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM,
for more directed assistance and greatly
expanded resources. Then, there is the treat every
woman deserves . . . we can work side-by-side in
your closet where we'll reinvent clothes you
already own, or I'll take you shopping to find items to
refresh your ìlookî without breaking the bank.
As the holidays approach and we enter a new
season ñ itís the perfect time to take the plunge! I
look forward to ìplayingî together!
It's fun . . . it's SMART and therein lies the
ART!
As always,
Sue Ross, THE CLOSET COACH

| Review of LOEHMANN'S -- NATIONWIDE! |
|
|
As 18 states can proudly state they are
home to a LOEHMANN'S . . . this month The
Closet
Coach has chosen to focus on ONE Shop. For
those who are yet to discover its riches, allow me to
introduce you to what many consider the ultimate
place for high-quality ALTERNATIVE
SHOPPING. For
those familiar with LOEHMANNíS, perhaps I
can add to your experience with new information!
To quote LOEHMANN'S own . . . "Who would
have
thought a business started in 1921 by a woman who
always paid in cash, which she kept in her stocking,
would evolve into the national store chain it is
today?" Who indeed? In my humble opinion,
LOEHMANNíS has set the standard for buying
the
best for less in their stores . . . and their on-line
shopping site is a dream come true.
I first visited a LOEHMANN'S in San
Francisco
around 10 years ago. The first floor was a circus of
color and activity . . . jammed with amazing women's
clothing, accessories and wall-to-wall shoppers.
Meandering through the racks, I discovered some
things were organized by designer labels, while
others seemed more haphazardly arranged according
more to do with how quickly items could be
unpacked, tagged and hung in general categories (as
new arrivals are constant) than anything else.
LOEHMANN'S I quickly discovered, was not
for the
faint
of heart! Yet, once I became a more "frequent flier,"
I learned the lay of the land and found more and
more method to the merchandise.
