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!

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!

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!

Trend alert: dressing down formal wear

I love buying a new piece to wear to a special occasion.  It feels so good knowing that I have a new stylish outfit that makes me feel confident and fabulous for that specific event.  However, one of the problems I face is that afterwards that piece either sits in my closet forever or is worn a couple more times until it sits in my closet forever.  Lucky for me (and you who know what I'm talking about!) is that it is currently trendy to dress down evening wear or more formal pieces.  This has given my closet new life!  Here are some of my favorite ways to wear this trend using Sevier Skirts that are often purchased for special occasions:

Guilded Age by kateschriver featuring a longsleeve shirt

 We took our Gilded Age skirt, which has both silver and gold threading and paired it with low key separates.  This would be perfect for lunch by the water or strolling local shopping spots.  We added a breezy chambray button down and a long crisp white cardi with braided sandals and a coral fedora.  For an extra laid back vibe we included a boho drawstring bag and a side braid.

Lucia Leather by kateschriver featuring an infinity scarf

To me, one of the hardest things to do is to create a day look with a black leather skirt.  But I've learned that with the right pairings and accessories a leather skirt can look just as casual as your favorite pair of jeans.  We paired our Lucia Leather skirt with a peach tee and tied it up to create that relaxed look we're going for.  We also included a matching lightweight scarf and white sandals.  For an extra pop of color and to keep with the trends we included a bright blue mini cross body bag.  Keep your hair simple with a bun or natural texture.

Collette Floral by kateschriver featuring gucci handbags

After a long week it's time to relax and give ourselves a little me time.  We paired one of our favorite formal skirts, the Collette Floral Embroidery, with simple separates like a bright white tank and light gray Kimono.  We also included our  glasses for reading our favorite book and simple dark blue lounge sandals.  If we even make it out of the house that day we will take our light blue bamboo handle bag with us along with a to go cup of green tea!

If you have any questions about dressing down your favorite formal skirt you can email me at kateschriver@sevierskirts.com

All About Options

Owning a Sevier Skirt means having options when it comes to your wardrobe.  We love to mix and match pattern, texture, and color to create a look that is all our own!  Many of our fabrics offer a wide range of versatility and can be worn from day to night or from season to season.  (Check out how we do it here!)  One of our favorite tricks is using our Fall fabric line to create looks that are perfectly in tune with Spring trends. By adding a pop of Spring color or bright accessories a typical fall skirt can be transformed for a new season!

Here are three of our favorite season to season looks:

The Marissa Gray 

One great thing about many fall fabrics is their neutral color pallet.  This makes them easy to dress for a new season. The warm puddy color of the Marissa Gray is paired with bright sandals and a sleeveless eyelet to transition into warmer weather.

 The Cathedral

We paired our Cathedral Skirt with bright pops of color to create a fun weekend look.  Add your favorite pair of sunglasses and you are ready for the sun and shade!

Platinum Coin

This skirt looks amazing with all different shades of blue.  We always love pairing it with a chambray button down, but try it with a bright aqua or turquoise for a great warm weather look!

The importance of creating a product that can be worn multiple times to many different occasions is one of our highest priorities.  If you have any questions about styling a skirt or what to share with us how creative you can be with your own Sevier Skirt we would love to hear from you!

Sevier Skirts Goes To Paris

With the recent excitement and buzz centered around Paris Fashion Week we wanted to share our own Paris story with you today.  Our main company mission is to provide our customers with the highest quality novelty fabrics we can find.  Most of the time this mission leads us around the U.S. to visit markets and different textile shows, but occasionally it sends us overseas to the mecca of high fashion and quality fabrics.  Last week, we were given the opportunity to travel to Paris, France in search of beautiful European fabrics to bring back to Nashville, Tn.  Being our second trip to Premiere Vision trade show, we were excited about what we would find once we arrived in Paris.

 

(Photo details: airline ticket, Paris city map...pushpin indicates where we stayed, Premier info booklet and Pass)

We left on Monday and arrived back in the states Thursday afternoon.  A VERY quick trip to say the least, but during our flights and minimal downtime we were able to reflect on the purpose of the trip and the Sevier Skirt mission.  Why have we traveled across the world, what is the purpose of this trip?  Well, it's for you all!  We know that Premier Vision offers the highest quality novelty fabrics on the market.  Fabrics that are not available in stores and we want our customers to have access to that type of quality and uniqueness.

(Photo details: Mary Allen looking through our new Spring 2015 fabrics from Paris)

Representing our company and our customers is very important to us when traveling to any textile show.  While in Paris we paired our personal favorite Sevier Skirts with tops and accessories to fit the occasion.  We wanted vendors to get a sense of our brand and the types of fabrics we were looking for.

The Perfect Pink

Pink is one those colors that can be soft and sweet or really bold.  If you think pink is way too girly for you...think again!  Sevier Skirts is all about being able to take a color and wear it several different ways.  Visit our Website to shop by color

 Radial Target in Hot Pink
This option is great because it adds just a hint of pink to an outfit.  We paired it with an equally hot pink top, but you can also pair it with a white peasant shirt or even mint green or light yellow for a more subtle look. So Spring-y!  We love it!

Meet the sweeter side of pink!  The Blush Seqins is a light pink sequins skirts that can be dressed up or down with the right pairings and accessories.  I know what you're thinking..."A sequin day skirt?" Yes!  When paired with a casual tee like the one pictured this skirt is absolutely appropriate for a lunch date.

 Weather you're a hot pink gal or gravitate towards pastels find it in the Pink section of our website.

Skirt Of The Week

Happy Monday!  It's that time of the week again when we get to introduce a new SOW (skirt of the week).  Until Sunday 3/2, you will be able to purchase the  Naomi White skirt online at 20% off it's regular price.

The best thing about this skirt?  It can be paired with just about anything from jewel tones to pastels and everything in between.  Check out our selection of everyday tees to get inspired!

Raindrop Inspiration

As sad as I am about the end of summer, I can't help but get excited over the seasonal change in clothes coming up this fall!  Summer is great.  You have a Sevier Skirt and all you have to do is throw on a tee and flops and your good to go.  The fall on the other hand is all about layering, scarves, jackets, etc. etc.  There is more thought to it.

This being said, I jumped the gun and created these looks revolving around the Raindrop.  The Raindrop is one of those awesome skirts that you can pair nearly anything with it!  It is great for work, and for play.  Because it is one of my favorites, I styled it below.  It's a medium-heavy weight fabric that will keep you warm this winter.

The key to black and white skirts is this:  keep it simple, then add a pop of color.  For work, I love this red jacket.  It reminds me of something Mary Tyler Moore would wear today.  Then, keep it simple with black heels, a watch, and a button up white blouse.  

For play, I love the black peplum top, black jacket, then the royal blue pumps.  Really easy with a great outcome!

Love it!
