Outfit of the Week

Miss me yesterday!?  I apologize for my tardiness, the day was PACKED, and I allowed myself to send you this message today, and see why that was a great idea... Perhaps a few of you wouldn't have seen this message yesterday and are going to be so happy to read it today.  Maybe your kids or niece or nephews started school today?  And possibly, you are a bit confused about how they are as old as they are, and you need a minute to catch up!  Or maybe, you are just really busy at Target taking advantage of the aisle...

We've returned from our vacation and this morning, up very early with jet lag, inspired by my most recent lesson, I made a cake.  Over and over in my mind I was thinking, what an absurd idea that having your cake and EATING IT TOO is too much, or even wrong.  Why have the cake if you aren't intending to ENJOY IT!?

I kept saying that to myself on...

This top is a great example of why we try things on.  She was hanging on our black and white rack longer than most, actually, longer than ANY.  You know how quickly things move in and out of our collection.  I was pulling for outfit of the week and I said, come on you sad little top, let's see what we can do with you with you. Upon trying I noticed the hanging of the hem, which gives shape and movement to the top - separate from your body, fun. The fringed trim is a stark contrast to the white denim, fab.  The...

My new favorite dress!  It's hot, and a linen dress is where it's at for a day on or a day off this Summer, and even into Fall.  I've been noticing a certain adult feeling to our Summer Dresses: smart, well tailored options that give you that feeling of "perfection" as you head out the door.  What's great about that feeling is what's missing:  strap pulling, hemline adjustment, waist tugging etc.  When your dress is appropriate in how it fits and feels, as well as "fitting" the occasion, you can stop thinking about it and move on to the very...
