Summer Fashion for Essential Workers
In a very special fashion segment near and dear to my heart for the Today show, I gave three frontline workers head-to-toe summer fashion makeovers!
These nurses come from all across the country and work in the ER, ICU and Covid Unit, where their hours are around the clock and work extremely intense.
I sent ahead the fashion and accessories and I cannot wait to connect with them virtually and see how they fared at home!
