An asymmetrical hem solves many alteration problems. The line gives you “permission” to have an uneven hem. - Shirring & rouching styles are a great compliment to a woman‟s midriff. At first glance ladies say, “not on my muffin midriff”. After trying on they are amazed at their slimmer looking silhouette. - Leggings are pull on knit pants that hug the leg. They are perfect for the lady with a flat backside and slim legs. Fingertip length tops and sweaters are very becoming worn with leggings. If you have trouble fitting pants in the back of your thigh because they are baggy, you are a perfect candidate for leggings . . . No matter what your age. - Jeggings are knit fabric in denim colors to look like jeans. They often are a beefy fabric and fit like leggings. Again, fingertip length tops or longer are great with jeggings. - Faux fur vests, jackets and coats provide updated fashion with practicality. Lots of different textures and prints go from dressy to funky casual. It‟s a fun way to update existing wardrobe pieces. Faux fur softens you facial features (including wrinkles).

Even looking for an exact color can be impossible to find. We‟re here to help! The least stressful way to shop is to see what „s available first.

P a g e 2 S H E L D O N ’ S In Living Color The neutrals of black, brown and gray are very strong this season in both tops and pants. To give personality to the neutrals we like to pop them with the COLORS of Fall 2010. A fun smattering of purple is showing up mostly in scarves and accessories. It‟s a soft but not pastel shade of purple that is very pleasing with black and gray neutrals. The warm yellows, oranges, greens and ivory are fall favorites. For a broader variety we‟ve added the many shades of pink, turquoise and a bit of medium blue. Compliments will come your way when you pair unpredictable color combinations. Experiment with colors you like by laying out several pieces on the bed (including accessories). Stand back and take a look. You just might discover a new combination. Along with your neutral pieces look in the mirror to find 3 or 4 COLORS that give your face the kind of glow of candlelight. Use them to “pop” the neutrals. Q&A Question: Are animal prints still in style? Answer: Animal prints have become a fashion staple. A piece or two can add zip to your wardrobe. Question: How do I wear a scarf? Answer: Don‟t be intimidated by a scarf. Keep it simple. A simple wrap around your neck works well. Texture and length play a role in how you wear it. Stop by the store and we‟ll be happy to give you a crash course. Also, we have an instruction sheet on scarves to give you. Question: Am I to short to wear the longer tops and cardigans? Answer: It‟s all about proportion and color. When wearing a longer jacket or cardigan, make one of the top pieces the same color as your pants; i.e. black pants and layering pieces worn with a contrasting color in a longer cardigan or vest. Looking in the mirror you‟ll see a nice vertical line. Also, a longer necklace and longer earrings s-t-r-e-t-c-h your visual illusion. I get compliments when I wear the longer tops and I‟m 4‟11”. It‟s an illusion. Try it on! Holiday Gift Ideas How can we forget the winter of 2009? It taught us to get that holiday shopping done MUCH earlier this year.

Teresa’s father had vast acres of salvaged cars. She would go through the old cars looking for treasures to be used in her jewelry creations.

It’s a global problem. A bit of FYI might help. S/P = small. The “P” is not petite. The “P” means small in Spanish or French. M/M = medium. “M” is the universal symbol for medium. L/G = large. “G” means “grande” in Spanish. XL/XL P+ = extra large. A universal symbol for extra large. = petite. That was easy! O/S = one size fits “most”. -----------------Try it on! Try it on!
