All about style mentor Sharon Haver…

"STYLE is what makes you stand out from the pack," Sharon Haver, Style Expert
I'm Sharon Haver, the founder of FocusOnStyle.com, the can-do chic website online since 1999 and YOUR STYLE MENTOR. Prior to FoS, I was a fashion stylist for 15 years and had a newspaper Q&A fashion advice column on the Scripps Howard News Service. I've been in the business of making people look gorgeous for 25+ years (the math scares me). I help the everyday woman make the most of what she's got by mastering fashion stylist skills to be the celebrity in her life & empower the style of her personal brand. It's not about the latest fad or the biggest budget but look confident and appropriate in the choices you make. Style is what makes you stand out from the pack.
