Makeover Your Closet with Sweet Deals at Corset During Hopkins Raspberry Festival

Ideal time to get great prices on items that can transition into fall fashions

HOPKINS, MN – July 7, 2009 – Shopping summer clearance racks now to brighten up fall wardrobes can mean fruitful savings. Through July 18, 2009, Corset Boutique and Personal Styling Studio, 715 Mainstreet in Hopkins, MN, is offering boutique clothing (size 0-3X) and accessories up to 75 percent off during its Raspberry Festival Clearance Sale.

Corset’s knowledgeable boutique staff of fashion stylists can help shoppers find fresh fall looks at a great price by providing “transition” pieces to wear in late summer and into fall. Hot summer trends that are ripe for the new season include:

• Biker Gear – The late Michael Jackson’s studded leather jackets, belts from “Thriller” and military-inspired pieces are bound to make a tribute tour this fall. This ‘80s influence started in spring with vibrant colors that will work in colder months and brighten up fall basics.
• Summer Sweaters – Many women tap lightweight sweaters to fend off office air conditioning, but these pieces can head into fall by simply switching to a cozier bottom layer. The key to wearing a summer sweater in the fall is to layer lightweight pieces that add warmth without the bulk.
• Scarves – Scarves add color, texture and a boho-chic finish to any dress, jacket or top. The key to taking a summer scarf into fall is texture and weight; make sure the scarf and top are similar fabric weight so the two look like they belong together.

“Many retailers are receiving fall looks now and shoppers are picking up on what’s in style next season. It’s a great time to scoop up summer pieces that’ll transition well and brighten your fall look,” says Carrie Leum, president and owner of Corset, which also does the shopping and styling for clients through annual personal styling services. “If you’re not one to scrounge sale racks, you can always call the experts at Corset or visit www.corsetstyling.com to get an affordable wardrobe put together for you.”
