Happy Customer Testimonial

Date: Friday, August 20, 2010, 8:20 AM

Hi Renee & Margaret:

I just wanted to thank both of you for all the compliments I got at the APA conference. One of my best friends once said that I always wore the same thing to APA. So, the last 2 years, I’ve tried to “be better.”

On the first day of this year’s conference, I wore the cute blue/plaid sundress with the white sweater that I bought a month or so ago. My friend loved it and asked where I got it. I explained Renee's and how Margaret took me there a year or so ago.

The next day, I wore a black top and black/white skirt that I bought at your store on my first visit. Both top and skirt are “flowy.” The reversible skirt is “silky” and the black top has “J-Lo” (or Cher) sleeves. Again, she loved it.

The third day, I wore the cool tan-capri pant, tan tank, and animal-esque print sweater I bought this spring. She was blown away…loved it.

The fourth day (the last day we dressed nicely), I wore the bright pink/white skirt and pink sweater. Again…she was very impressed. So much so that she said (several times), “When I come to Seattle for the Multi-cultural summit in January…we will go there.” So, we will be there in January…and I will probably e-mail ahead to make sure we arrive at a time you are in the store.

I got compliments everywhere I went. Thanks to you, Margaret, for introducing me to the store. And thanks to you Renee, for all the time you spend in helping me find stuff that looks great. I’ve never been much of a fashionista, and your opinions seem to work very well for me! Lynette

Accessorize Your Style at Renee's!

When it comes to ladies' fashion at Renee's, accessories are queen. And this season, the scarves, hats and gloves definitely are “it!”

There is one rule when it comes to dressing to impress - accessorize! There are lots of ways to complete a look, regardless of what kind of style you're shooting for, but nothing wraps a cute new outfit together like a couple of accessories.

Accessories are a crucial part of fashion because they represent an eye for detail and a knowledge of what goes and what doesn't. Most people can match their shoes to their shirt, but the ability to make your scarf, bag, belt, and bracelet all come together into a single package makes all the difference. Let's take a quick look at some easy accessorizing tips.

Since accessories are by their very nature details, don't be afraid to make them stand out - setting a belt at a slight angle or wearing a strikingly colored scarf or bracelet will give you a little edge. Bending the laws of fashion in one's favor is sure to catch an eye or two, provided the transgressions are in reasonably good taste.

If you want to accessorize, try to keep your personal style in mind. People will form opinions about your overall sense of style based on the details they see on you. Earrings, shoes, and hand bags, for example, say so much more to most people than your jeans ever will.







Fashion is defined in large part by the little things. Keeping that in mind will help you stand out, especially in situations where a dress code is enforced. You can spice up your business attire, for example, by throwing in patterned stockings or a feisty bracelet or hair tie. Pick the accessories you feel represent you, and leave the rest to the designers. It's always impressive to see someone that can pull off an everyday outfit with some extra style.

Getting your outfit right is essential in this day and age when first impressions really count. Make a positive difference in your life by keeping up to date with the latest accessory trends. Come see us at Renee's to spice up your wardrobe with colorful scarves, warm hats, sparkly jewelry and stylish shoes today!

Find Something Special at Renee's

Kathleen Gutierrez has shopped at Renee's since we opened our doors over 17 years ago. A loyal customer, Kathleen is also a beloved friend and source of encouragement. When she is not buying clothing for herself, she sends gifts to her family members. Here is a photo she sent of her sister Judy happily sporting a Nomadic Traders blouse and skirt from Renee's. "Whenever I want to purchase something "special" for my sister or my niece, I go to Renee's!" Kathleen wrote. "I purchase many things for them from Renee's and they are always excited when they see the "Renee" sticker or bag!" Thanks, Kathleen!

If you have photos of yourself or friends and family wearing clothing purchased at Renee's, I would love to post them here. Please forward them to me!
