FAQs

I am asked some really nutty questions from this blog. Most of them I don't publish, because they have nothing to do with fashion, and aren't something that would be helpful to all of you.

But - recently, I seem to be getting a lot of q's about me...guess that is what happens when you put yourself (or your blog) out there for the world to see.

So, I thought I would try to answer some of the questions here.


Q. Are you Married?

A. Yes


Q. Why do you live in the midwest?

A. Because that is where my house is, and where my husband lives.


Q. What size do you wear?

A. Seriously?


Q. Do you have kids?

A. 2 step daughters, and we're adopting a little girl from Russia - she is now 6. You can get all the gory details on that 4-year journey if you go to my PERSONAL blog.


Q. Do you get clothes for free?

A. Nothing is ever for 'free'


Q. How did you get started doing what you do?

A. I've worked for apparel companies in the past - loved helping people, but did not like retail. It took me years to figure out a way to do what I loved (what I KNEW I was cut to do) - and call it a 'job' or career. Really, it took having a supportive husband who told me to make a go of it - and see what happened...so, here I am.


Q. What did you do before this?

A. I've always worked with women to better themselved. I've also done a lot of public speaking over the years on 'dressing for success'. But - before I figured out a way to make a living at being a wardrobe coach/personal shopper - my career was in marketing and advertising, specializing in female driven products and/or services.


Q. Have you ever dressed anyone famous?

A. Depends on what you think 'famous' is.
Q. Is your last name really Friend?
A. No - it's my stafe name (duh, of course Friend is my real last name)

Best tops for plus size ladies

What is the best top fit for plus size ladies? Is it loose or close fit?
-anonymous

Dear Anonymous,
It depends on your body shape, and where you carry your weight. The key to finding the right style in clothing, is to find pieces that balance your hips and/or shoulders. If you carry your weight on the bottom 1/2, then stay away from tight fitting pieces on the top. If you carry your weight on the top 1/2, then you will want to be sure you wear loose pieces on the bottom - skirts with flounce will be good for you - also look for jackets/tops with princess seaming (that will define your waist).

Monica,
Thanks for your question. The private label line of clothing that I sell is located in California. The other side of my business, wardrobe coaching / personal shopping, doesn't really have a location. I work out of my home - and I live in MIchiana.
