Fashion Makeovers & Closet Takeovers

Tue, November 10, 2009
Thrift stores are an economical way to shop these days with great finds for a minimal fee. But what if you could get those vintage looks for free? That's just what this week's closet takeover subject did.

Emily Holland, a college student at Hamline University, is an avid thrift store shopper. This past summer, she was given some vintage pieces from her grandmother and needs help transforming these timeless treasures into modern day duds. So we sent our takeover expert, Carrie Leum, to help.

Women’s Fashion - War of the Wardrobe

Tue, September 29, 2009
Typically our style expert, Carrie Leum of Corset, travels to a viewer’s home to create a few new looks from the viewers own closet. Today, we gave her a different challenge! Our guest co-host, Tim Sherno, joined Carrie for a “War of the Wardrobe!” Tim put his own talents to work and picked out an outfit to see how his measured up against the one that Carrie picks out. Carrie and Tim headed to Eden Prairie to invade the closet of Jessie Witt.

Carrie Leum is a personal stylist and owner of Corset in Hopkins. If you’d like Carrie to takeover your closet, email us at and be sure to put “Closet Takeover” in the subject line.

It’s a Cinch
We love being opinionated. But while it’s the easiest thing in the world to tell someone else who to date and how to dress, it’s more complicated when we’re trying it for ourselves. Is he really worth the heartache? Does this dress make my butt look ginormous? Big questions, tough answers.

Enter Corset, a personal styling consultant and boutique that provides practical suggestions and cutting-edge ideas. Snap up their not-seen-in-the-mall pieces one by one at the store, or order an “Everyday Runway” package, which delivers fabulous grab-and-go looks, styled just for you, each season. And they’ve got more than fashion chops, they’ve got great memories, too. They’ll keep track of your wardrobe and provide ideas for pairings and outfits from your whole closet.

If you ask, the experts at Corset will tell you that the hot trends for fall are a return of 80s, shoulders standing out, and “pops” of purple and teal. And yes, they will even tell you if those pants do, indeed, supersize your hindquarters. Now, about your boyfriend? The Corset chicks won’t say, but let’s meet for drinks and we’ll give you our opinion.

Shorts for Fall
By now you may have heard all the buzz about Michelle Obama stepping off Air Force One in Arizona wearing shorts. While some reports in the media clearly feel that this is inappropriate for a first lady, most women in Minnesota just don’t feel that this is a big deal. After all, she is a regular person too. But, whatever you think, one thing is for sure – shorts are going to be popular again this fall. Carrie Leum, personal stylist from Corset Personal Styling in Hopkins, shows you how you can transition your summer shorts to the fall time.
