Celebrating our 1000th suiting!!!
On Tuesday July 27, 2010 we suited our 1000th client, Lauriely Vega, who is interviewing for an office position. Lauriely visited our boutique on Tuesday, unaware that she was to become our celebrated 1000th client.
She came to us hoping for, "A professional look but still look my age. I like colors and patterns. I would just like to look professional and ready to work."
Wow Lauriely was surprised at the white glove treatment she received at our boutique. Incidentally, the following day was Lauriely's birthday. She told us that we made her feel as if she had her own surprise party and "More special than Obama." She wrote, "My experience was great and I got a couple of good outfits!"
In the photo above, Lauriely Vega is ready and dressed for success in her favorite interview outfit from our boutique. She is standing with Debbie Bronfeld, Executive Director and Frances Cohen, Boutique Manager. You can see more photographs on our photo gallery page.

We want to thank everyone who participated in making the Mother's Day Event a huge success! Special mentions go out to Tony of Stark and Stark for providing the wine and cheese, The Bank of Princeton, and Roundview Capital.
In these economic times our services are in even greater demand and there are many, many more women to serve. We hope you will consider joining us this year to support the women of the greater Trenton/Mercer County area.

We also provide ongoing career development opportunities. Our services are free of charge for diasadvantaged women referred through public and private social service agencies.

they gain hope, confidence and economic independence.
The positive impact on our women, their families
