Perfectly Plaid.

Plaid is one of those patterns that has been around.  It is constantly being re-imagined but remains a classic look that anyone can wear.  We have pulled some of our favorite Sevier plaids and created easy everyday looks with them.

The first look features our Colorful Delight Pencil.  It's perfect for staying stylish and comfortable all weekend.  We've paired it with a light pink coat to bring out some of the color in the skirt fabric, a warm chunky scarf, and some leather boots.  Put your hair in a messy bun and you're ready to go!

Watch this cute video on three ways to style a plaid skirt!!

For our second look we paired our Twiggy Wool Plaid Swing skirt  with a cozy tweed coat, matching mittens, and knee high boots.  Perfect for getting away and staying cozy for the weekend!

White Hot Winter

Who says we can't wear white after labor day?  In fact, for the past couple years its been fashionable to wear all white attire during the winter months.  Let us show you how it's done... 

We pulled some of our white hot winter skirts and paired them with just the right accessories to make them pop.

The first look is paired with our Cathedral Pencil skirt.  To winterize a white skirt pair it with colors typically associate with fall or colder weather months.  Here, we've added a burnt orange top with a darker grey jacket blazer.  You could also try forest green, Marsala (official color of 2015), or navy blue.  Include seasonal textures and prints like fur and plaid.  We've also added a pair of animal print pointed toe pumps as a fun addition.

After all, we love animal print!

Check out the latest Pantone color here!

For our second look we pulled our Circle Applique Pencil and created more of a night out or holiday party outfit.  We paired it with really luxe fabrics like metallic leather and rich velvet to create a seasonal appropriate look.  Add some shine with a really chunky necklace to elevate your look.  For a fun twist on a black and white look add a wild clutch like this furry yellow one!

Wear What You Want

Fashion and clothing myths are everywhere these days.  The media, models, high profile professionals, and celebs all tell us what is right for us and our bodies.  Sometimes it can be frustrating to look in the mirror and not see what we think we should see.

Well, listen up ladies because I'm here to tell you that what you see is beautiful!  You can look your best in all types of skirts and dresses.

Usually, clothing in retail stores is made for the masses.  That means they have to look presentable on a variety of body types.  This can leave us with a not-so-satisfied feeling in the dressing room and wondering why this dress doesn't fit me the way we think it should.

It's because that dress isn't made to fit anybody perfectly its made to look OK on a a lot of women.

Our business is custom made women's clothing and with that comes a vast knowledge of dress sizes, measurements, and women's bodies.  One thing we hear all the time that makes us cringe is "I can't wear that type of garment because _____." Well, we are here to tell you that you can wear whatever you want!

That's the beauty of custom made clothing.  Since it's tailored to your specific measurements it's going to look great on you!  My advice is to try something you've always wanted to wear but never thought you could.  Talk with our fit specialists about your concerns and place an order!

You're going to be so happy you did!  And don't forget we offer petite sizes in our fit n' flair dress, an option we are very proud to carry.

And just for fun here are some fashion myths to break

A BIG Thank You

On this holiday we are thankful for the people we have in our lives, our ability to run a company dedicated to making one of a kind items, and the small everyday things that otherwise go unoticed.

We couldn't have done it without you.  Thanks to all of our friends, family, and customers we were able to sell all of our handmade wreaths which generated over $3,000 for Cristina and her family.  Wow.  Your generosity is overwhelming and we couldn't be more appreciative.

So, a big thank you to our friends, family, and customers that make this company a reality and who fill our lives with more joy than you could imagine.  We are forever grateful.

Our handmade wreath in action!

Sevier Skirts Gives Back

Welcome to project Cristina.    Earlier this month one of our valued team members, Cristina, suffered a stroke that left her on a ventilator with extremely limited ability.  Feeling helpless, but with the desire to help, we decided to pull together our staff to design and sell holiday wreaths with 100% of the profits going towards Cristina's family.  When a member of our Sevier family suffers we all suffer. Please support Cristina and her family by purchasing a wreath this holiday season.

We have put together 50 wreaths and over half of them have already sold.  Which is awesome! So please, if you're thinking of donating this holiday season, help a member of the Sevier Skirt family.  

All wreaths are $75 a piece and there are two styles to choose from.  The "Christmas Classic" is embellished with a red plaid bow, faux cranberries and pine cones.  It will last 5-6 weeks.

The other is "Christmas Cabin" which has burlap ribbon, fresh eucalyptus, fresh peppercorn, and pine cones.  It will last 2-3 weeks.  

 

Once ordered we we will deliver the wreaths right to your doorstep.  Because of the freshness of the wreaths we are only able to deliver them to Nashville and the surrounding communities.

Please e-mail Sevier Skirts to place an order or call us at 615-750-5013

Be Cozy : Chloe Wool Eyelet

We have a lot of really great winter fabrics that are guaranteed to keep you warm and stylish.

Our Chloe Wool Eyelet is a company favorite.  The rich oatmeal color of the wool gives the fabric a luxe feel with mega versatility.  The white eyelet adds another layer of interest to an already beautiful piece.  Perfect for the cool weather months the Chloe Wool Eyelet is great for staying warm and looking chic!

Each of Our Chloe Wool Eyelet Styles are beautiful

Chloe Pencil

Chloe Swing

Chloe Fit n' Flair

Also pictured: Ellie Brown Shift Dress and  Twiggy Wool Plaid Pencil

To capture the versatility of the Chloe Wool Eyelet I've put together two different looks.  One is a causal afternoon look and the second an office to dinner look.  I love how this fabric can pull each off so effortlessly!

I combined the eyelet with a plaid jacket in similar colors to create an interesting dynamic.  Even though both prints are very different they work together so well! The dark blue coat adds a pop of color and keeps you warm.

For the Office to Dinner look I switched out the boots for a pair with a little height and added tights for warmth.  A fur vest over the sweater makes a statement and dresses the outfit up while the crystal necklace gives a little sparkle.  Lastly, add a little color to your lips and your ready to go out!

Remember, it's all about looking good and staying warm!  Our coziest fabrics are available now so don't forget to shop them on our online store!

Trend alert: perfect layers

Hello skirt and dress lovers!  Today's post is going to focus on one of my favorite winter trends: long layers!  With cold weather bringing freezing temperatures nothing feels better than bundling up and staying warm.

One common cold weather myth is that you have to ditch your favorite dresses and skirts for pants.  Not true!  I'm going to show you how to wear your favorite Sevier pieces and still stay warm!  There are so many cozy fabrics in our Sevier library.  Today I will be using our Charlotte's Web fabric in black to show you how to layer your pieces to look chic and stay warm this winter!

The bottom layer keeps your legs and feet warm.  Don't be afraid to mix and match boots, tights and socks.  Adding a pop of colored knee high socks will add an extra layer but also mix up your usual go to tights with boots look!

Look for a high quality leather boot and thick socks.  The leather and fabric will create a barrier between your feet and the cold!

I love this layered look.  The Hunter boots are great for rainy weather!

Try pairing our Charlotte's web pencil with a plaid shirt and pea coat to create a similar look!

Check these links to find some super cute knee socks to wear with your boots and tights:

ASOS Wool Cable Knit Socks

H&M Cable Knit Socks  

Merona Printed Knee High Socks 

For your tops you want to add four separate layers.  A tank, shirt or blouse, sweater, and winter coat.  Make sure your coat is roomy enough to wear a sweater underneath.  Look for one with a little flair!  The shape is ultra flattering for most women and adds an interesting element to your outfit.  This one is an extremely affordable $40 from chicnova.com.

Check out these outfits for some inspiration!

These girls have some serious layered style!

To finish off a cozy winter look dont forget to add some accessories.  This can include a scarf, gloves, or a hat.  My favorite addition is adding a thick textured scarf.  It's chic and functional!

I hope everyone has a great winter season,let us know if you have any styling tips about wearing your Sevier skirts and dresses in cold weather!

Rock Your Next Holiday Party

Believe it or not the Holiday season is right around the corner!  This is the time of year when you catch up with old friends, spend quality time with family, and of course attend holiday parties.  For me, when I know a party is coming up one of the first things I think about is what I'll be wearing.  It's important for me to look my best especially around people I haven't seen in awhile.  I usually wear a dress because it's feminine, flattering, and easy to wear.

Brelow is our top three favorite fabrics for the Holidays to get you started.  Custom is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.  So you'll look your best this holiday season.

Colette Embroidery-  An allover floral embroidery of tan, taupe, and silver flowers create a neautral, but stunning fabric. The Collette Embroidery is from our favorite French fabric house, Albert Guegain.

Karolina Embroidery- This french, lightweight black cotton has a jewel tone allover embroidery.

Peacock Nuevo- The Peacock Nuevo is a pink, black, and silver brocade with modern peacock motif, with the feathers pointing down.  The fabric shines beautifully, perfect for the holidays!

Shift Dress Holiday Inspiration

One of my favorite bloggers, Katie B from katiebressack.com, specializes in teaching busy women how to live vibrant and healthy lifestyles.  Here are some of her tips for Rocking your next holiday party whether you're trying to impress coworkers or meeting new people and want to look and feel your best.

Katie Says...

I love holiday parties! It is a perfect excuse to get out of my yoga clothes and into some fun outfits. What I don’t like is feeling as if I got off track by eating things I normally wouldn’t and drinking more wine than I should. Over the years I have learned some ways to rock that holiday party without feeling it the next morning.

1. Eat before the party! Never show up for a party on an empty stomach. You will consume more food and get tipsy much faster. If you are leaving right from work bring something with you to work or when you go out to lunch pick up something for dinner too.

2. Water! If you are planning on drinking alternative water in between each of your drinks! This will help with the hangover and the conversation you wish you didn’t have with your boss.

3. Napkin test! Place the food on a napkin if it leaves a grease mark you probably don’t want to eat it. This fool proof test never fails.

4. Healthy Options! Avoid the dips and chips but grab the veggies next to them. At holiday parties there will be many temptations, sweets and fried food galore, so before you start eating look at all of the options.

5. Dance! I don’t think it is a party unless there is music. Bring your dancing shoes and have fun. Not to bad for getting your exercise in that day!

Remember these healthy tips but don’t get to caught up in them. It is a party so rock it and enjoy

Big Hugs & Health
Katie

 I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday season!

The Busy Girls Guide To Looking Polished

Welcome to the Busy girl's guide to looking polished.  This post is intended to help busy women like us dress in a snap and still look pulled together.  Here you will find tips and tricks as well as ways to style your skirts and dresses to make putting together an outfit so easy.

Banish the weekday morning struggle by stocking your closet with simple accessories that can go with a multitude of outfits.  A basic color scarf, black or brown ankle booties, and some shimmery stud earrings can take an outfit from OK to adorable in a snap.  I would also invest in a vest!  Whether it's cotton or faux fur, you'll be surprised how often you will reach for it.

See how this works with different pieces:

** Both of these skirts are on our 5@50% off promotion for November!  Learn more about it here. **

Twiggy Plaid
Godfrey Houndstooth

And here is some more outfit inspiration for the bootie, scarf, and vest combination.  Try it!  I know you will absolutely fall in love and it is so easy to throw on during a busy day.
Although these girls aren't wearing Sevier skirts or dresses you can imagine how great they would look in one of our Sevier pieces.

Here are some super cute vests and where to buy!  NastyGal (if you haven't shopped this wildly popular online retailer, don't let the name fool you, they have great items!), ASOS, H&M, Target, and Saks OFF 5th

 This outfit would look so cute with your Sevier shift dress!

 Here are some tips for looking polished on your busiest days!

1. Edit your closet.  This is one of those projects that might take a little time initially, but will benefit you in the long run.  Take out clothes you haven't worn in the past year.  Invest in basic pieces and a few stand out items (like our Godfrey Hounds Tooth!) that can be worn many different ways with your staple wardrobe pieces and accessories.

2.  Don't go too crazy with color.  Yes, we love color!  Our showroom is full of bright pinks, blues, shimmering golds, and statement making prints. The best way to look pulled together is to pick one statement piece, like a sevier skirt or dress and layer it with beautiful basic essentials like a white button down shirt or classic trench.

It means that you are absolutely going to love the way our dresses and skirts fit on your body.  That's a given.  After all they were made for only you.  Not your daughter or best friend...just you.

To us custom also encompasses your experiences with Sevier Skirts.  We want to get to know you, your likes, and your dislikes.  We truly want our customers feel as though their interactions with our team and the way they ordered clothing was tailored to their specific needs.

So whether you attended a trunk show, ordered online, or set up a private fitting, we want you to have had the best shopping experience possible.

Perfect Every Time

A few posts ago we showcased our friend Presh Ashe's wedding and the use of the Marissa Gray skirt in her bridesmaid's wedding ensembles.  They looked absolutely stunning.

The majority of us have been there. When we purchase a bridesmaid dress, we pay additional alteration fees to get the length or the fit just right.  With Sevier Skirts, the cost of custom fit is built right into the price.  Not only that, but if you decide to cut that Maxi skirt into a pencil within the 90 day alteration window, it is absolutely free.

Just imagine, you are able to look stunning in your sequin Maxi for whatever special event you will be attending and then cut it shorter for an anniversary dinner or a fun holiday party.  Same skirt, two uses, free alterations.

Imagine the possibilities! (Click Here)  We always keep your measurements on file so online shopping is super easy.  Skirt and dress shopping 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

Job Perks

A great job comes a lot of perks, but one thing you don't always expect to find at your place of business are lasting friendships and a great community.  Here at Sevier Skirts we are always talking about how much we love our customer.  We do...you all are the backbone to a business that we are so passionate about.

One thing we don't mention enough is how much we love and appreciate our team of fit specialists.  Because being a fit specialist isn't only about throwing amazing parties or being a style expert it's about being a part of an amazing group of women who love what they do.

Many of our Specialists have grown together as the company has grown.  It's not unususal for a few women to know each other outside of Sevier Skirts and once joining the company build longlasting friendships with one another.   We believe it's because of the shared passion between these women, the company, and our customers that has created this bond within the Sevier Skirts community.

Sure, many jobs offer a lot to their employees.  But building meaningful relationships with an awesome group of talented women, that just one of our perks.

Leather's New Look

Love the look of leather?  So do we!  Sevier Skirt's offers many leather like options like the Lilly Pad Black Leather , Blockbuster Gold, or the Leather Black Sequins.

Last Fall leather became a cool weather staple.  We saw it everywhere ranging from jackets to wrist wear to leggings.  This Fall the trend is still holding strong.  Now, we see it in tops, pants, and skirts.  A new twist this season is the look of textured leather.  Studs, sequins, and applique...we love it all!

Weary about wearing the leather look?  Our advice is to treat it as a basic.  Wear it as you would any black piece.  It can really elevate an everyday look.  Need some outfit inspiration?  Keep scrolling!
