Summary: Overall Penny-Rose is showing good control of her resolve, with only one albeit major transgression at the Shoe Warehouse. Her purchasing pattern shows that she has developed an interest in dresses suggesting a stylistic move from the "who am I going to be today" to a more focussed approach. The absence of tops and tee shirts is evidence that she either has plenty of these to wear or is moving away from this style as it does not integrate into her new look.
