Once upon a time “stylists” were just for hair.

Now they make stars — and regular people — look their best by helping put together cohesive looks.

One of our own local stylists, Brooke Bennett, is working to launch herself nationally through a contest with Teen Vogue; check out how she puts her own outfit together here, with  a pale pink full body leotard from Urban Outfitters layered with dark periwinkle sweater from a Saleman’s Samples sale and a cream colored lace tiered skirt from urbanXchange.  She is accessorized with coppery tone flats, vintage oversize leather bag and a long skeleton key necklace also from urbanXchange.

Now go to www.teenvoguepromo.com and vote; as of last night Brooke was in the lead, but we have only until June 15 to keep her there.

Tacoma fashionistas, represent!
