HIGH HEEL IN A HAYSTACK PERSONAL STYLING
This week’s style tip: Don’t clip the tags off your clothes…yet! After you get home from shopping, try on all of your purchases with items from your closet to make sure these are things you will wear. The last thing you need is more clothes in your closet that end up collecting dust from the lack of use!! Once you see how the new items will work with the old, then you can clip away!
