Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to enter Nordstrom with nothing but your wallet and a watch, find an entire outfit for $50 and be out in under 20 minutes.

Impossible? Not for this dedicated fashionista. Shara Reeves, assistant to Sue Nellis, head of high school, engages in these surgical strike missions as if they’re a walk in the park.

Most students know Reeves as the smiling woman behind the desk in the high-school office. But while she loves her work, she’s equally passionate about her clothes.

“I’m all about my clothes,” Reeves said. “Even if you’ve only got the one outfit, make it look clean, make it look polished.”

“She’s a snappy dresser,” Nellis said. “There’s always interest in what she’s wearing.”

According to Reeves, she hasn’t worn the same outfit twice in the last year.

In fact, she said one room in her house contains just a desk and a computer. The rest is all closet space for her more casual clothes.

In this closet, there’s an 8-foot-long, bi-level shoe rack that houses some of Reeves’s 75-plus pairs of shoes.

But this isn’t the only closet. In another room she has a second one devoted to formal wear.

And Reeves likes to share her knowledge.

In a previous job, Reeves worked in the learning center of an apartment complex, where she helped residents to prepare resumes and get ready for job interviews.

A big part of preparing for the job interviews was teaching applicants that they should look their best.

“Residents would come to me and say that their job interviews didn’t go well, and I’d ask, ‘Well what did you wear?’ ‘What I’m wearing now.’ They’d be wearing slippers! Umm...no,” Reeves said, obviously frustrated.

She’s also a fitness instructor, cyclist, and aspiring daredevil.

Reeves, who teaches indoor cycling classes twice a week at 24-Hour Fitness, became a fitness nut during high-school PE.

“Once I hit the weight room and started throwing those weights around, that was it,” Reeves said.

“She works out like a fiend,” Nellis said.

In addition to the cycling lessons, Reeves works out five to six times a week. Her workouts involve cross training and cardio.

And she’s an avid cyclist, having ridden in the 100-mile America’s Most Beautiful Bike Ride—Lake Tahoe in 2004.

“There’s such a feeling of freedom when you’re on a bike, and there are birds in the air and the wind’s on your face,” Reeves said.

During her six months of training, Reeves rode 10 miles to work, and 50 miles on a different route on her way back.

But a mere hundred miles isn’t enough for Reeves. She hopes to ride in a double century in the near future.

Reeves is also intrigued by skydiving, and hopes to try it next year.

“I’ll never be able to fly, except in a plane, right?” she said. “This is as close as I’ll get.”

Reeves also makes a point of trying to make a positive difference in the world.

She and her team raised $2,300 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in the bike race.

For Reeves, the cause is personal, as her mother died of cervical cancer when she was 32.

When Reeves first started working at the school as a temp last year, she was nervous that her enthusiasm and quirkiness might put some people off.

But that quirkiness and sense of humor is what makes her fit right in.

In fact, she jokes around with and cares for students as if they were her nieces or nephews.

The Monday after Winter Ball, senior Matt Einhorn came into the front office to sign out in order to attend a doctor’s appointment.

The conversation quickly shifted from pleasantries to Einhorn’s style of dancing.

“I’ve seen the way you dance,” Reeves said.

“Like a professional,” Einhorn said.

“Yeah, a professional gigolo!” Reeves replied, earning a laugh from the senior.

And like a maternal aunt, Reeves tries to help out students, giving them a little leeway when they need it.

“I want to be that person that says, ‘Hey, don’t worry about it!” she said.

On days when students are already late but need to go park their cars, it’s not unusual for Reeves to let them park in her spot so they can get to class, she said.

Initially, Reeves was just covering for former assistant Kristy Peoro while she was on maternity leave.

However, when Peoro decided to make the change permanent, Reeves was officially made her replacement.

“I fell in love with the place. It’s like a family.” Reeves said, adding that she spends so much time working, she sees the students more often than she sees her own children.

Reeves has four children, three daughters (two of whom are twins) and a son. Layla, the youngest, will be graduating from high school at the end of this year.

Reeves’s hard work extends to how she shops, and people take notice.

Once, a woman was watching Reeves going through the clothing racks, impressed by her ability at picking out outfits on the fly.

“I didn’t even know anyone was watching,” Reeves said. “I was in the zone.”

The woman eventually interrupted Reeves and asked her for advice.

“I ended up picking out an entire outfit for someone I didn’t even know!” Reeves said.
