Dallas Post/Charlot M. Denmon
the 309-415 Plaza in Dallas.
By CHARLOT M. DENMON
Statf Correspondent
The name is the same - “Heart of
Fashions.” Step inside - the heart-
shaped checkout counter is still
there, the deep blood red carpeting
still covers the floor and the multi-
ple dressingrooms with full length
mirrors and heartshaped seats, a
delightful contrast with the light
rose walls are still there. It is there,
however, that the similarity ends.
The owners are new — Roxanne
and John Opalicki greet customers
with a friendly hello. The young
couple purchased the business
located in Route 309-415 Plaza and
opened Dec. 21, 1985, just before the
final holiday rush.
The dress shop was the realization
of a dream Roxanne had since she
was a young girl and used to talk
about it with a friend. Little did she
realize then that one day that
dream would come true.
Roxanne and John had no experi-
ence in retailing, but due to the
cooperation of a representative
from a Georgia retailing business,
they were able to get started. Rep-
resentatives from the company
assisted Roxanne in buying, setting
up their business and building an
inventory.
A native of Dallas, Roxanne has a
twin sister, Donna, who helps in the
business periodically and an older
sister, Toni, who recently returned
to the area, who also assists in the
shop.
Roxanne caters primarily to the
junior sizes because they are in
such demand and carries updated
fashions suitable for high school and
college age as well as for the more
sophisticated adult.
In Heart of Fashions can be found
a wide selection of coordinates as
well as mix and match in Bobbie
Brooks, Bonjour, Gloria Vanderbilt,
Organically Grown, Tomboy, Santa
Cruz, and numerous other popular
designers. Much emphasis can be
found in the popular style pants,
tops, skirts, sweaters and coordi-
nates.
Roxanne and John keep abreast of
today’s fashions and presently carry
a fine line of sweaters and sweater
vests in solids and prints which

have become the “in” look for the
“updated” set. Customers will also
find a variety of cropped and stir-
rup pants in a wide range of sizes
and colors. For those looking for
jeans in sizes five to 13 (juniors, of
course), be sure to shop Heart of
Fashions.
“We had qualms about going into
the business at first,” said Roxanne.
“John and I talked about going into
a retail shop when the shopping
center first opened, but finally
decided against it, then when the
opportunity arose in the winter of
’85, we decided to take a chance
with a lot of encouragement from a
friend.
Heart of Fashions also carries a
line of earrings and necklaces so
popular today.
Roxanne said she has found a
great demand for junior sizes, but
in the not-too-distant future hopes to
branch out into petites and Missie
sizes in clothes.
Presently, however, Roxanne and
her husband, John, are content to
develop a progressive business
around the junior sizes which their
customers are looking for. They
plan to take their time and move
into other fields as the demands
merit it.

GIRL SCOUT TROOP 633, Jun-
iors, recently held a meeting which
featured a variety of scientific
experiments. Under the directio of
their very able leader Mrs. Karen
Adams, the girls worked on such
interesting experiments as identify-
ing different rock forms, star
gazing, floating objects in both salt
and regular water, and making
music from ordinary objects like
bottles filled with various degrees of
water. For their. efforts, the girls
were able to earn a Sleuth Badge in
one evening.
Although the experiments were all
very interesting, I must admit that
my favorite was the music experi-
ment. Fred Adams, Karen’s hus-
band, sure does play a mean wax-
paper covered comb!

MEMBERS OF THE Meadows
Nursing Center Auxiliary will be
bringing back a lovely tradition
when they begin having monthly
teas. These friendship teas will be
held to help local civic and church
groups become familiar with the
Nursing Center and its auxiliary.
Personally, I have lately felt that
our more casual standards have
made some formal occasions like
teas seem outdated. I'm so glad to
see the Auxiliary ladies holding
these teas which I'm sure will be
enjoyed by all who attend.

THE BOUTS OF TERRORISM
experienced throughout the world
are affecting the Back Mountain.
Both Lake-Lehman and Dallas High
School have had to cancel trips to
Europe planned this year. I'm sure
the kids are very disappointed, but
of course, their safety is the impor-
tant thing.
Still, it makes me furious to think
that travel has to be restricted
because of these people!
