Welcome to our Best Dressed/Look of Success issue!!  We are so excited to announce our winners and to report that our Best Dressed Soiree, held at the Scottish Rite Center, was a great success.  We were pleased to interview each of our winners about their fashion sense.  Some of their answers are here, and the rest are included in our ‘Look of Success’ feature article on page 38.

Elizabeth Edwards
Omaha Ballroom
Where do you do most of your clothes/accessories shopping?
Skyze Boutique is one of my favorite places to shop. Shelley is always so friendly and very helpful when I am there. I will go to Blue for a drink and then leave with a new outfit because of Skyze next door.

Kirk Sims
Bank of the West
Where do you do most of your clothes/accessories shopping?
Like most other college students I look for the best deals when purchasing my clothes. I like to keep up with the new styles without “breaking my bank”. The majority of my professional wardrobe comes from Younkers, DSW, Jos. A. Bank, and Kohl’s.

Amy Knowlton
Continuum Financial
Where do you do most of your clothes/accessories shopping?
I love shopping at Garment District because Stacie and Kelli help me to perfect my own style. They give personalized attention, and I feel like I have my own personal shoppers when I go to see them for all my most important outfits and accessories.

Megan Goeke
U.S. Cellular
Where do you do most of your clothes/accessories shopping?
All my slacks come from New York & Company because they’ve got the perfect fit for tall women like me. Boutiques like Statement in Northwest Omaha and Grace’s Boutique in Seward are my favorite for incredible dresses and accessories. Women can truly get a personalized shopping experience and perfect their personal style in boutiques like these because the owners or managers have the knowledge to provide attention to detail.

Dominic DiGiacomo
Best Card
Where do you do most of your clothes/accessories shopping?
I do most of my business attire shopping at Von Maur.  I love their selection of ties and shirts (and they have a great clearance rack!).  I do most of my casual shopping at The Post and Nickel.  They seem to do a good job of finding clothes that other places don’t carry, so you won’t see others wearing the same shirts or jeans when you are out and around the city.

DeMoine Adams
The Game Plan
Where do you do most of your clothes/accessories shopping?
I do most of my clothes shopping at Express, Men’s Warehouse, and JC Penney. I’m about 10 pounds away from making Post and Nickel my new favorite!

Congratulations, again!  And remember, we are already taking nominations for next year’s Best Dressed of the Omaha Area contest!
