Announcing The Wardrobe's new continuing story contest!

Fashion tells a story about where we have been, where we are, and where we are going.  Four years ago when Heather Caswell was writing a script for a fashion show at the El Macero Country Club, she found herself saying "If our clothes could talk...they have met presidents, attended Academy Awards and even won Emmys.  Over the years she has felt like she has been married 1000 times because each time she dresses a bride, she gets to share part in her journey.

 The Wardrobe's If Our Clothes Could Talk short story contest has taken on a life of its own. There was such good energy at the party last Friday that The Wardrobe has decided to continue an ongoing story contest announcing a winner each month.  The monthly winner will win a $50 gift card and a copy of DJ Heather's "If Our Clothes Could Talk" Elecrtro Swing music compilation.  In the future, our fabulous designers will sometimes contribute to the prizes as well.

So keep writing, reading and voting on your favorites. Come by The Wardrobe to see the winning stories each month!
