When I was growing up, one of my favorite movies was Annie. It's a film about a quirky, street-smart orphan who steals the heart of an industrial tycoon named Oliver Warbucks. Eventually, Mr Warbucks adopts Annie, saving her from the orphanage and its gin-loving overseer, Miss Hannigan. It's a feel-good movie/musical where the portrayal of the true underdog of a kid conquers her circumstances and comes out on top. And who doesn't love to cheer for the underdog? … One of the most memorable scenes in the film is when Annie escapes the orphanage and is happily wandering the streets of New York.

I remember more than 25 years ago watching Cher virtually select her outfit for the day with the click of a button in Clueless. It became the envy of me and teenage girls everywhere! I remembered thinking, "If I had a tool like that, I could look flawlessly put together just as easily as Cher." … It's 20 years later, and I still don't have a digital wardrobe assistant (bummer, right?!), but I've discovered something even more impactful than Cher's digital closet tool. In 2020, I had "my colors done" by a House of Colour consultant in Fort Worth.
