Fashion Denver is excited to bring you the holiday edition of Fashion Camp filled to the brim with holiday cheer.

Denver, CO 80231

$49.00 with group discounts!

When I was first starting out as an entrepreneur with my handbag business B.Shigley Designs, I had no idea what I was doing. I wasn’t charging what I was worth, I wasn’t being efficient with my time, I wasn’t saving. It was money in, money out and many times, money under. Flash forward to almost 20 years later and I’ve learned a few things 😉.  Now, I’m working with amazing business leaders in the community and continue to learn even more!
