Women of Wardrobe hosts sizzling affair
You can count on the Women of Wardrobe to throw a fun, stylish affair for a great cause.
More than 250 women attended WOW’s 10th annual Summer Soiree at Tootsies to support Dress for Success Houston. Guests enjoyed sips, light bites and shopping, of course, while mingling with Black Halo designer and co-owner Laurel
Berman.
WOW is the young professionals group for Dress for Success Houston, with more than 330 members.
With KPRC Local 2 anchor Rachel McNeill as emcee, WOW president
Paige Branam greeted guests and Berman presented her 2014 collection. It was fitting that WOW members — Lauren Levicki Courville, vice president of Dress for Success Houston, Melissa Sugulas, and
event chairs Julie Chen, Katy Mayell Ellis and Lyndsey Zorich — were all glammed in Black Halo dresses.
The event also featured San Antonio jewelry designer Claudia
Lobão, who donated door prizes. Sweet and savory fare was donated by some of Houston’s favorite eateries including Armando’s, Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, Green Plate Foods, Local Foods and Radical Eats.
Guests included Kristy Bradshaw, Maria Lowrey, Susan Oehl, Leah Rudnicki, Amanda Watson, Allison Bagley, Ivana Rouse, Mary Patton, Linsay Radcliff, Tiffany Blaylock, Helen Yancy, Sara Connell, Randi McBroom, Misti Pace-Krahl, Kathryn Hamilton, Melissa Chou, Cindi Rose, Julie
Griffith, Misti Pace
Krahl and Mandy Kao. This event has raised more $65,000 for WOW and Dress for Success Houston over the past decade.
