Dear Readers,
Here it is the end of August and all I can think is wow. That was fast. Is it time to talk about the new fall season already?
Let me tease you a bit and say that I see some interesting and even exciting fashion changes coming!
But, in preparation for all the goodies that await us, may I make a suggestion?
Take a good hard look at your closet in the next few weeks and see what you need to replace and replenish. Do those favorite black pants cry out for retirement? Does that once crisp white shirt cringe at the thought of one more public appearance? Perhaps you should start a list. Then you can actually shop in October when the selection is absolutely primo! And while you do that, I'll fill you in on what's new in my world!
First, I am extremely excited to announce the birth of my new website.
www.nancypipal.com
It includes a link to all my weekly columns for Patch and a link to my library of Style File newsletters. Easy access and a convenient way to look and see what's happening in the world of style, which I hope is now a part of your world too!
So please visit my website soon and let me know how it works for you.
Second, I have done away with the reader FAQ column on the right, making more room for photos. Many of you have requested that I include additional photos for purposes of illustration.
Done.
I am going for a less cluttered, cleaner look for this newsletter, hoping to keep it short, sassy, and still interesting. What do you think?
I must also take a moment to thank those of you who travel great distances to attend my workshops or a repeat performance of a program like Shopping in your Closet.
Seeing your smiling faces time after time makes me feel like a rock star! (correction: make that aging rock star)
Seriously. You are a delightful audience and I deeply appreciate your enthusiasm. Please do come again . . . and again!
(On Tuesday September 13th at 7pm, I will present my Shopping in Your Closet program in Bartlett, Illinois at the Bartlett Public Library. Call Karen Sego 630.837.3560 for reservations. All are welcome!)
Last, but not least, I invite you to make your presence and your opinions known. No doubt about it, your feedback is vital to the process of creating relevant content, so please comment on Patch articles (on-line), chime in on Facebook, reply to this newsletter or send an email to me directly. I always respond personally and promptly, and I ALWAYS listen!
And in the next edition of this Style File Newsletter?
Expect the autumn trends you will definitely want to know about as well as those you may want to skip altogether. Some are great new takes on beloved classics; others are simply scary (see photo on the right).
Oh! I have lots to say about all the new trends. Believe me.
Meanwhile, stay cool, stay tuned and above all, please stay with me.
You are my inspiration!
Best regards,
Nancy
P.S. My summer workshops here in my studio were such great fun and the women who participated were so enthusiastic about their value, I thought why not expand the concept and make them available year round? See details on my website under Studio Workshops.
