Holly Willis

Where do you do most of your clothing/accessory shopping?  What is your favorite local store?
Believe it or not, I do most of my business shopping at Maurice’s!  I love their diverse clothing and they are always up-to-date on the latest fashions and for the price, you can’t beat it!  All of their pieces can usually be transformed into a night on the town look and you gotta love that!  I also buy my accessories from there as well as from Charming Charlie’s.  That store is pure bliss! Anything and everything you need from handbags, hats, jewelry, scarves, etc.  It’s my new obsession! As for locally owned companies, I really love J’Amour! I bought a bracelet from them at the (best dressed) event that I absolutely love! And their clothes are one-of-a-kind!

Mike Story

Dillards and Men’s Warehouse

What is your favorite local store? 
Dillards or Von Maur.

Michelle Schrage

Where do you do most of your clothing/accessory shopping? What is your favorite local store?
I’m kind of a department store girl. I love selection and quality, so typically department stores like JC Penny and Von Maur offer both. Though I also love digging through TJ Maxx to discover a great find. Locally, Skyz Boutique in is amazing. Two of my favorite dresses are from there.

Hal Daub

Where do you do most of your clothing/accessory shopping?  What is your favorite local store?
I do most of my shopping in Omaha and my favorite local store is Rossi’s in Rockbrook.

Caitlin Eisenmenger

Where do you do most of your clothing/accessory shopping?  What is your favorite local store?
Most of my suits are from either The Limited, White House Black Market, or Anne Taylor Loft. Most of my weekend attire and accessories I buy from Skyz, Me & Me, and Souq Limited Boutique. I don’t have one favorite because they all offer so many different beautiful things, but I will say Me & Me gets me the most compliments.

Kyle Steenson

Where do you do most of your clothing/accessory shopping?  What is your favorite local store?
I shop for most of my clothing and accessories at Dillard’s. For a local store I would say Hitch n Post.
