Nordstrom San Francisco Centre, Conference Room B, 865 Market Street
WISE SF Bay Area produced a fun, informative evening with Anthea Tolomei, style and fashion educator who has spent the past 18 years working with clients to help define and develop their approach to personal style. An avid speaker and renowned educator, Anthea has cultivated a simple, effective, timeless approach to style that transcends all shapes, sizes and lifestyles.
In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season, we used this evening as an accessory drive for “Dress for Success.” The mission of Dress for Success is to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire, a network of support and the career development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
Attendees of this event donated professional accessories such as jewelry and handbags to support this worthy cause.
