DT | The Informed Fashionista and How to Become One | 5PM

We all want to look and feel confident in our clothes, however, being fashionable has its challenges, which can be confusing and costly. Through this special panel discussion with Jennifer Niehouse of it’s so U! and Heidi Herrman of Heidi Herrman Design, you will learn about wardrobe ‘investment pieces’, gain insight on shopping trips, quality rather than quantity, which can be more fulfilling, and discover that you, too, can afford bespoke garments.

Jennifer and Heidi want you to enjoy fashion and become educated on how to make your wardrobe 100% wearable!
