Tamara- A 29 year old single mom, from Atlanta, Georgia, she was totally out of the loop when it came to what she should ware to work as well as what she should ware period, she was looked over for promotion because of the way she dress. Her sister and her best friend and co-worker submitted her name and thank God  they chose her. At first she was a little up set but she went along with it, I think she knew she looked a hot mess from the start, once she put down her guard she saw what she look like in the cloth she was Waring.  in the process of finding the right cloth she mention she was coming to term with the fact that she dress like that because of a pass relationship. In the end she was please with the end result its goes to say we sometime have to look outside of our self to see what other see and sometime what other see is not good
