Now that we are all back from vacation it is time once again for the Spring/Summer Planet Trunk Show. The line has never looked better and for those of you who feel the line is too big, boxy or baggy, they now have about ten styles of sweaters that are much smaller with a tighter fit. They have also brought back white nylon, thank goodness. The asymmetrical skirt in white is THE skirt to own for summer. Leslie will be here with the full line on Thursday, January 9th from 12-7 and on Friday, January 10th from 11-5. IF you cannot come those days, the line is here and will be up on Monday in the Planet store so you won’t miss out.
We saw lots of movies over the holiday. My favorite was Nebraska followed by American Hustle. Everyone in it was great and Jennifer Lawrence was hysterical. I liked Wolf of Wall Street but then I read a blog about how Jordan Belfort is not paying back the people he swindled which was part of his plea deal and he is living in a mansion on Hermosa Beach. It does take away from the movie. He is being rewarded for ruining all these lives and on top of it he gets to have Leonardo DiCaprio play him. We did not love Her I have to say although I thought the acting was good. I really liked Saving Mr. Banks and I cried all the way through it. At the end while the credits were running the real author of Mary Poppins is talking and it was very interesting to hear.
Many of you may know that I started the Cleveland chapter of Dress for Success so I have a big interest in helping women find jobs that will help to support their families. Some of my customers are involved in N Street Village and when they told me about it I joined on as one of their Ambassador Council. It is a fabulous facility in DC that helps homeless and low income women by offering a huge amount of services. From shelter to wellness, education and job training as well as crisis support, it is a full service program. They are looking for others who want to join their Council and toward that end there is an event on January 16th. If you go to their website www.nstreetvillage.org you can see how important this organization is to the women in DC that are not as lucky as most of us. If you are interested in attending the event I will make sure you get an invitation. Let’s make this year the year every woman in DC has a chance at a good life.
The sale is on and there are lots of great things for sale both in U7 and Planet.
We will not be open this Saturday because of bad weather we had to postpone our trip last weekend to Chicago. We WILL be open the following Saturday. See below!
Lastly, our newest grandchild was born on December 31st. We are just thrilled and what a considerate little boy he is to give his parents a tax deduction! Julian Thomas Klassman is his name but I am calling him JT!
See you at the Planet trunk show!!
