My suggestion? An hour or two with fashion coach Susan Kanoff of <a href="http://agreatnewlook.com/">A Great New Look.</a></span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Susan is a wardrobe consultant who can just as easily fill a closet as she can edit one that is overflowing with too many choices. She offers gift certificates for wardrobe consults and will even shop with clients to help them find just the right combination of wardrobe items to make them feel and look their best. She also has a wealth of fashion connections and <a href="http://issuu.com/nefinery/docs/nef6_habitat_issue/95">style tips</a> that she is happy to share with her friends and clients.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLUaX19QgRqdaOU3HKhCOC5KMyu3WdT483LITGtKFZG6oGO3byYqHivjMjLjunnJpV_Udn0PPIKNoYnjgRac4QY0P7p9hS67BKmE1IFefxjZLB-iESV6QTkIypnWOnTU72FQIT-HNAn8c/s1600/Three1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLUaX19QgRqdaOU3HKhCOC5KMyu3WdT483LITGtKFZG6oGO3byYqHivjMjLjunnJpV_Udn0PPIKNoYnjgRac4QY0P7p9hS67BKmE1IFefxjZLB-iESV6QTkIypnWOnTU72FQIT-HNAn8c/s800/Three1.png" width="500" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Wardrobe consult “after</i><i>”</i><i> photos from Susan’s website.</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://agreatnewlook.com/?page_id=256"><i>Click here for the story behind the makeover.</i></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><b><span style="font-size: large;">Where to find Susan ...</span></b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">On Wednesday, November 28th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm she is hosting a designer clothing swap in North Andover called <a href="http://swapsoiree-eorg.eventbrite.com/">The Swap Soiree.</a> Along with event planner Monique Johnson of <a href="http://www.monxdh.com/">Monx Design House,</a> these two women have coordinated quite an evening of fashion fun. For the price of an $18 ticket, guests can shop rack after rack of designer fashions, shoes, and bags and take home as many bargains as they are willing to swap.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">They are still collecting clothing donations from 9am to 4pm tomorrow at St. Michael’</span><span style="font-size: large;">s Church on Main Street if you want to thin out your own closet, otherwise, guests are able to buy tokens tomorrow night for $4 a piece, with each token good for one item.
