We had Chef Barry Francois (www.foodbyfrancois.com) create a delicious menu including:

BE YOU!!!

 
 
So, it’s no secret that we were not created to be the same shape and size. There are many of us who have to work really hard to make an outfit or trend work or to find decent clothes that fit. How many of you know of a sensational taller young lady who frequently has issues with finding pants, or wonderful women who have smaller feet that aren’t able to find a (cute) size 5 shoe in the store? The level of frustration can be quite overwhelming.
 
 
 Millions of dollars a year are made as a result of Fashionistas from everywhere resorting to custom ordering. Well look no further. Ethan and Zoey are here to help you deal with those issues on a budget!

1. See the potential-
As we stated, we are thrift store lovers! Yes we recognize and understand that everyone is not a fan of wearing someone else's clothes, however, this is a great way to “create” custom pieces. Just because the dress is a size 14 and you are a size 8, doesn't mean you can't buy it. There has been many times that I have purchased an oversized item with intentions of having it altered to fit my shape. Voila-instantly you have a new unique piece at a fraction of the price at sometimes at half the price.
 
 
2. Know what works for you-
Fashion trends are always changing. Who would've thought that tie dye would make its way back or acid wash? But its back and people are making it work! Where what your heart desires, there are no rules to the game. Find your flair and stick with it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Embrace what you have- 
Take a moment and look in your closet. Ok now pick out that item that you haven't worn. Can you make it into something else? Dress into a crop top/high waist skirt? Remove the sleeves to a shirt? Make jeans into shorts? Use what you have, and take some “Me” time to be creative or to dabble in to a few DIY projects. Customize your closet.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
In short be you, get in where “you” fit in.
We hope this helps!!
