20 AMERICAN PRESS ADVERTISING SECTION, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2009 ■ CLOSET KARMA A little shop with a lot of class 00558417 00558415 After working in construction for over 11 years, Tina Abshire decided to take her part-time hobby full-time. “I decided to hang up the hardhat and put away the steel toe boots,” Tina explains. “I told myself, it’s now or never.” And with that said, Closet Karma was created. Opening its doors August 7th, Closet Karma is continually growing its inventory and customer base. They carry women’s designer resale items including apparel for all sizes, shoes, accessories, and even hand-made jewelry from local artists. “All our items are carefully selected before being added to our inventory,” explains Tina. “Trends come and go, but real style and quality last forever.” Closet Karma is the only resale shop in Lake Charles exclusively for women. “Quality is quality and it follows the product,” explains Tina. “Besides, what’s more fun than walking in a shop that you just never know Owner Tina Abshire and her son, Tory Abshire what you will find.” When customers visit Closet Karma, they find a boutique atmosphere with a relaxing, and friendly environment. “I love putting outfits together and accessorizing them,” explains Tina. Whether it’s an outfit for church, the office, a special event or a little something for yourself, walk in and I’ll take care of the rest!” “I can’t very well call it a full time job, I enjoy it entirely to much,” Tina explains. “I love interacting with the customers and seeing them find that perfect outfit. I can’t imagine doing anything else.” See new arrivals daily on www.facebook.com /closetkarma.
