think of things in a different way.”
Mariposa is constantly stocking the shelves
with new pieces. The best way to stay up to date
is to follow the shop on Facebook, where photos
of special pieces are frequent. For instance, Wells
recalled, there was a recent time when she posted
a dress online at 9:30 a.m. and not 20 minutes
later, a customer, who’d taken an early lunch,
bought the dress. If you’re seeking prom wear,
keep an eye out January through March, and if
your prom-goer finds her dress at Mariposa and
lets the store snap a photo, you get 15 percent
off the gown.
Regardless of what you’re looking for, however,
you can be certain that at Mariposa you won’t just
be able to explore a fabulous collection of fashions
but you also will be treated as if Wells and her staff
have known you all their lives.
And if you can only buy one thing, Wells said
with certainty there is one item everyone should
have in their wardrobe: “The best pair of shoes
you can buy!”
FIVE TIPS FOR FINDING YOUR
SIGNATURE STYLE
By Michelle Wells
1. Figure out your body type.
2. Find a celebrity who has your body type
and whose clothing you like – not to copy
them but to find the designer that makes
clothing for your body type.
3. Find your color palette.
4. Wear what you LOVE.
5. Invest in quality.
