I just discovered 180* Shoppe in Methuen. Located at 436 Broadway (Village Mall Plaza--Joanne Fabrics plaza) this consignment boutique donates 100% of its profits to anti-bullying programs and efforts. Since the shop is new, there is a HUGE NEED for donations---gently used women's, men's and children's clothing plus books and household items. Their prices are amazingly reasonable. Most clothing is under $5.00. I even saw a wool coat for $6.00 and the best part is that the profits help children. Cleaning out your closets? Bring your donations in anytime during operating hours or arrange for pick-up. And all donations are tax deductible.

Also, they recently added a cafe with live music on Friday nights!

What's the easiest way to look longer and leaner? Focus on the neck and legs!
Create the illusion of legs that go on forever and a slimmer profile when you accentuate both ends of your body and show skin!

Let's start with the neck. "Elongate" with a deep V, scoop, cowl, or even partially unbuttoned blouses that dips below your collarbone. I'm not talking about showing lots of cleavage, but do leave the neckline open..

How do you add inches to your legs even if you're petite? Nude pumps! If you don't own a pair, put them on your shopping list.  A trick of the trade is to buy nude pumps in a similar shade to your foundation--this will give you your most complimentary tone.  Keep the toe of the pump on the tapered side --either pointy toe or narrow.

Other shoes that give a similar effect are nude sandals, flats, or even knee-high boots (wear with bare leg or flesh tone hosiery--even nude fishnets!).

Put the open neckline together with the nude shoes and you will look amazing...try it!




 

I am thrilled to announce the first item up for grabs in my Sunday Style Give-Away! Keep your eyes peeled to my Facebook page (A Great New Look) and blog for fabulously stylish items that YOU could win!

This week's give-away is a gorgeous "day to nightie" from Mariwear in black. 
http://shop.mariwear.com/default.asp

 Have some fun in this fully supported, "no bra required" nightie.  The top of this nightie keeps you covered and the thick cushioned strap lies comfortably on your shoulder. The length gives you enough coverage to roam around in while still feeling a little sexy.
This adorable little number can be worn to “show off your girls” or to give them a bit more coverage.  For a more modest look, go up a size or order your regular size and have the straps adjusted accordingly.
Size XS to XL Value $84.00

A bit about Mariwear 
Mariwear is an innovative new line of women’s lounge/sleepwear conceived and designed for women by women. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Melanie Berger who spent years in search of something she could put on at the end of the day that allowed her to still feel good about the way she looked. Available options were either not modest enough or didn’t offer any built-in shape or support; hence requiring a bra or cover up. After many years of trying to find this type of apparel, it became her dream to create it in hopes that all women would finally have an alternative to get comfortable at the end of their day while still being modest and feeling good.
