Are you dressed or styled? Being a part-time sales associate at Ann Taylor LOFT, I always see this question posted on the wall in the back of the store. It’s a great reminder that putting together a look with multiple pieces upgrades you from just being dressed to being styled. Mastering the art of mixing and matching pieces to complete a styled look is one way a fashionista fulfills her passion for fashion.

Calling all fashionistas! Macy’s is Putting It All Together with the ultimate fashion face-off, hosted by expert stylist and image consultant, Laura Hunt! She is the founder and CEO of Freeway Fashion, an image consulting firm and fashion media resource (not to mention, Freeway Fashion is a sponsor of Fashion Week Tampa Bay). Contestants will be stylists for the afternoon and show off their styling skills by creating a HOT look – fierceness from head-to-toe, as Tyra Banks would say. Plus the winner of the style challenge will receive a $100 Macy’s gift card!

During the event Laura will share her fashion do’s and don’ts plus top styling tips for spring. After the fashion challenge, mingle with Laura, relax with Ritual Salon, enjoy Fitcio’s Café sweets and view breathtaking floral arrangements from Hayes Florist. Also, be sure to enter for the chance to win tickets for Fashion Week Tampa Bay 2011!  To top it off, make a women’s purchase of $50 or more to receive a special gift.

Macy’s in Countryside Mall in Clearwater, FL and Laura Hunt will be Putting It All Together, Saturday, April 9th. RSVP today by calling 305-577-1818 or visit the Macy’s website for more information.

You don’t want to miss this event! It goes beyond clothes and shoes, Laura’s styling advice and the magic of Macy’s will help transform you from being dressed to being styled for any occasion!
