When she gave her heart to God, Shari made a life-changing turn. She could see that so many women of faith didn’t recognize the beauty that God gave them and lacked the knowledge of how to dress themselves with confidence so their outside appearance represented who they were on the inside.

From a very young age Shari devoured every fashion magazine she could get her hands on and listened attentively to everything her mom would teach her about makeup, clothes and style. After earning her degree in fashion merchandising, she started her own image consulting company in Miami, Florida, helping professional women plan their wardrobes. She also re-wrote dress codes for major banks and businesses while continuing to learn everything she could about the fashion industry. After moving to North Carolina she became a Senior Director with Mary Kay Cosmetics. Successful, enjoying the pink Cadillac lifestyle, Shari heard God whispering about a new direction for her.

Partnering with Proverbs 31 Ministries, Shari has become one of the most sought-after Christian speakers across the nation. A fabulously fun fashionista, she is the host of the popular What to Wear Christian Women’s Conference and conducts fashion shows on modesty for teen girls.

With an encouraging heart and vibrant effervescent spirit, Shari warns women to stay away from black, begs them to throw away the “mom” jeans and inspires women to new levels of confidence regarding their outer appearance.

Shari is the fashion and beauty editor of Susie Magazine, the style editor for Clash Entertainment and Radical Revolution and she is a regular contributor for Proverbs 31 Ministries which reaches a half million women every day.

This summer 2010, Zondervan will release Shari’s newest book, “Good Girls don’t have to Dress Bad” which is a full color style guide for every woman. Not only will you learn about the best haircut and makeup for you, but you’ll discover the most flattering jeans and swimsuit. All this and your very own shopping guide leading you to the right stores and brands just for you, based on your specific body type. This has been a long awaited resource for the Christian community.

When she is not speaking and writing, Shari enjoys life with her servant hearted husband Dave and 6’6” handsome fifteen year old son Luke. She also has adult triplet step daughters and loves cuddling with her cats and dog while watching college sports of any kind.
