Some Thoughts from Tsitsi
We asked Tsitsi a few questions to get her thoughts on her work with our Ashro Women!
“I LOVE the fact that this woman IS EVERYWOMAN! She is authentic, big-hearted, astute, strong, loving and most importantly, confident in who she is. That makes it fun and easy to dress her because she wants and expects a lot of different looks that keep her current, regardless of age, and looks that express her personality.”
Do you have any tips for standing out this holiday?
“Color is always an important element in “Standing out”, and this holiday is no different. Colors ranging from the obvious red, to emerald green to classic black. Styles with in novelty fabrics and original trims also allow our customer to stand out – Bold, colorful jacquards, exaggerated ruffles, etc.”
Any words of advice for personal style in general?
“Personal style is exactly that….UNIQUELY personal. How we select what styles, colors we wear and accessorize come from how we see ourselves, aspire to be seen and ultimately how we project ourselves. These are all things that make our style our own and personal.”
