South Orange Teen is Styling

Daisy T. has a dream. The eighth grader dreams of living in Sears, the premise of the "commercial" she developed (and her mother videotaped) as part of a "Crush your Style" contest run by the department store. Daisy's commercial, which is here, was conceived and filmed very quickly, in the busy days before South Orange Middle School started. Sears let Daisy in early and after hours so she could try out the exercise equipment on display and rest on a selection of mattresses. Most exciting, Daisy tried on all the clothes and accessories she desired.

Daisy is a contest finalist, after winning a weekly challenge. Her prize for that victory was a $500 gift card, and she is in the running for a family trip to "the fashion capital" of her choice, whether Milan, Paris, Tokyo, London or Paris. Daisy is hoping for a dream trip as a prize for her style summary, entitled, "Daisy Dreams She Lives in Sears."

Viewers are invited to "crush" Daisy's style by voting for her submission.
