This weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at the Chasing Joy Brunch and Learn about “Dressing for Success: What Everyone Should Know.” It was truly an honor and my pleasure to speak with such a phenomenal group of women and network with them. We also listened to Janeane Davis, of Janeane’s World, speak about success and happiness.
We had a ton of sponsors for the event, but I have to give a special shout out to Dress Barn – Gateway Shopping Plaza (125 East Swedesford Road, Wayne, PA 19087) for allowing me to pull clothes to assist in the presentation. I also want to thank Arlett of Chasing Joy for inviting me to participate in the event. As usual, a great time was had by all!
Take a minute to check out the pictures from the event!!

Here, I’m showing how this amazing Calvin Klein dress (available at Dress Barn) helps fake a waist if you don’t have one and also offers a slimming silhoutte.
