Part of my back-to-school routine as a kid was to get a new batch of school supplies.  It was so nice having a spanking new pencil case full of just-sharpened pencil crayons.  But the best part?  Getting new clothes, some of which I insisted on wearing the first day, of course. 

Even as an adult, I feel that September is a fresh start.  And if that fresh start includes your wardrobe, you are in luck.  Sandi Quigley is a style consultant who will be providing a workshop on the science of personal dress at North York Central Library  on September 9 at 7 pm.  She will be providing suggestions on how you can make the most of your existing wardrobe.  And if you want to buy some items, she will be giving advice on what goes with what and how to accessorize.  As someone with a closet full of tops and bottoms that don't go with anything, I am ready to make wiser purchases.

As Sandi says, "stop wearing 20% of your clothes 80% of your time".   Hope you join me there…and if you can't, take a look at the following titles:
