POSITIVI-TEE
Rather than complain about the price of her daughter's clothes, Carla Weiskopf, a Las Vegas mother of four, decided to do something about it. Jordann's Positive Apparel, Weiskopf's T-shirt line that's named after her daughter, aims to inspire young women without breaking their mothers' banks. Each shirt sends a message of encouragement such as "Pursue Your Dreams with Passion" and "Courage Faith Hope." There are styles for girls and women and a percentage of sales goes to charity.
