Are you stuck in a shopping habit routine for your clothes?

If you watch most people's shopping habits, they have a routine.  They go to one grocery store, one general store, or perhaps they go to a store that combines the two.  The same is often true for their clothes shopping.  

If you need a particular piece of clothing, do you automatically go to a familiar store?  If you do go to the familiar store, do you stick close to items or styles you've purchased in the past?  

What about colors...do you find yourself sticking to blacks or browns, solids?

We challenge you to step outside of the norm, and try something that inspires you due to color or design.  Let your comfort zone guard down and have fun!  You may be surprised by how great a new style or color looks on you...making you feel better on the inside as well!

And don't just stick to discount or clearance items.  Often if you spend a little more on a few key pieces you really like, that fit you well...they will soon become some of your favorite pieces, and you will love wearing them!  Plus you will realize the value for how often you wear these special, key pieces.

At Sydney's Closet, our Fashion Team strives to offer a great variety of dress styles and colors in Cocktail, Prom, Wedding, Bridesmaids and more!

Sydney's Closet Photo Shoot: Fall 2011 Cocktail Collection and Prom 2012 Collection

The Fashion Team and Models had a fabulous time at yesterday's photo shoot for Sydney's Closet Fall 2011 Cocktail Collection and Prom 2012!  These gorgeous ladies modeled evening gowns, ball gowns, cocktail dresses, and prom dresses.  The models loved some of the sexy cocktail gowns so much, they placed orders already!

It took a crew of more than a dozen to pull off the incredibly smooth two-day shoot:  photographer, photographer’s assistant, videographer (look for very fun behind-the-scenes video coming soon!),stylist, hair, makeup, wardrobe mistress, dressers, and alterations. One big reason the shoot ran without a hitch is that Mickey Librach acted as production assistant coordinating every last detail from what to order for lunch to making sure every model held up a style number before we shot a dress!

We loved shooting at Studio Altius in Maplewood. It’s a super spacious and comfortable space complete with dressing room, makeup stations and full kitchen with counter and bar stools.  The hottest place to chill was the comfy lounge with a large flat screen showing images straight from the photographer’s camera.  We’ll definitely be shooting there again!
