His positions have included buyer, manager, and executive trainer in stores in Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

Belts add texture and buckles have emphasis. In times like these when people are watching their money, costume jewelry instead of the real thing becomes popular, says Mr. Dunlap. He concludes that the clothing dollar can be stretched by adding accessories to a limited wardrobe to make it seem larger and more adequate. Owner Dunlap, g HIGH FASHION. . .
