Wawanosh Wonder Women (earn Fashion Tips By Reba Jefferson Meeting 5 of the Wawanosh 4-H Wonder Women was held on Thurs- day, July 31 at the St. Jacobs Outlet Mall at 6:45pm. Vice President, Loretta Higgins, opened the meeting with the pledge then led roll call which asked members what their favourite outfit and col- our were. Most members enjoyed wearing jeans or leggings and a T-shirt, and the favourite colour of the group was blue. The club then divided up into junior and senior mem- bers to visit the Laura and Levi's stores. The senior members toured Levi's and asked each other questions like "If you were on a budget what would you purchase here" or "If the price didn't matter, what would you buy." Meanwhile, the junior mem- bers were introduced to Peggy, the manager of the Laura Outlet Store. Peggy gave a brief history of Laura - it was started by a woman named Laura in Montreal, then her grandson partnered with her and they spread throughout Canada and later created Melanie Lynn stores as well. With Peggy's help the junior members then picked out jewellery and other accessories for differ- ent outfits. The senior and junior members then traded places. After the senior members were introduced to Peggy, they went over some fashion myths. One of these myths was "You can't wear white after labour day," Peggy informed the group that this is not true. White can be worn in October and into November, especially ivories and creams. They also learned that you can wear gold and silver together, your shoes do not need to match your belt and many other fashion myths. The senior members then found a partner and searched the store for outfits appropriate and inappropri- ate for different work -places. After showing off their out- fits and giving reasons why it was appropriate or inappro- priate, the junior members rejoined the seniors in Laura. Reba Jefferson then thanked Peggy for every- thing she had taught them. Loretta Higgins closed the meeting with the motto.
