I'm an expert seamstress and am currently in the process of obtaining patent/trademarks in the Fashion Design Arena for fashion garments I have designed and made for viable, BUT FUN! clothing use.

For what others have called: my gift, I absolutely love and enjoy to coordinate these terrific items; otherwise known as disjointed designer separates. And am able to whirl-wind them together mix & match style into these fabulous collections so that many SMART LADIES out there have the opportunity to enjoy some really terrific outfits! Many years ago as a single gal on a budget, I always shopped this way and still do to this day! And so, can now pass on these great collections with many mix & match possibilities to maximize on dollar value to those SMART LADIES who are interested in Looking Good & $aving $$$ Too! I'm from a large family of 9 kids and so there was always that old unspoken adage; Share, Share - That's Fair... My Motto Today: LOOK BETTER, FEEL BETTER, PERFORM BETTER....

A bit of personal info... I'm the Wife of a small business owner (computer engineering-geek/egghead) who is extremely supportive of SMART LADY CLASSICS! I'm Mother of two feisty teens that are on a productive & direct path to young adulthood, and so now I am able to devote much time to my EBAY store: SMART LADY CLASSICS and offer as many terrific collections to potential buyers as possible! I'm a former Art & Design Major in College with a minor in Sales & Marketing. (But that didn't get me anywhere!) So, I worked in downtown Washington DC on Capitol Hill for various Legal Institutions, Lobbying Firms and Marketing Firms for the Legal Field. Invaluable Experience! To be 'in' on the current Political Events of the Day and to be able to make an impact in the nature of one's employment!
