Nancy Plummer

I’d like to say I’ve had a passion for fashion my entire life. Growing up among a group of six

fashionable siblings and parents, I always knew I was destined to be doing something in the

fashion industry. I majored in Home Economics at Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. My Home Economics degree, (now more aptly termed Retailing), provided me with many career choices. I have been a Buyer for a major department store, a Merchandise Coordinator, a Sales Representative for major fashion vendors, (Levis Strauss & Co., GAP, and Ellen Tracy), an Image Consultant, Personal Stylist, Fashion Blogger, Program Chair of a Fashion Design Department at a career academy, Entrepreneur, and Image Management Textbook Author. It’s been over 40 years of fabulous fashion living, learning, and paying it forward to the curious fashion masses.

Always eager to learn more and meeting new people I achieved a Master’s Degree in Training &

Development in 2006 from Roosevelt University in Chicago, IL. I’ve been able to utilize my

graduate degree in my image consulting firm, Fine Threads, established in 1999. I developed

courses on appearance, behavior, and communication skills, and often called upon as a frequent

public speaker on the topic of dress in the workplace and beyond.

Outside of work I enjoy the city of Chicago; the lakefront, unique retail shops, and the diversity

of the people. I enjoy a great Sunday afternoon brunch and movie, live music, (loving Adele),

bike riding, Bikram yoga, reading fashion magazines, and watching Dancing With the Stars!
