SOW: Vivian Black!

The SOW this week is hot, hot, hot!  One of my favorite LBS'S (Little Black Skirts) is on sale 20% off this week only: Vivian Black!  This skirt is great all year round, especially for the holidays.

The Vivian is a medium-heavy weight fabric.  The base is a sturdy woven beige with black flocked zebra print on top.  Flocked basically means that it feels like velvet.  The Vivian is complete with a blind hem.  This baby was made for a straight style.  Be it Classic or Pencil, be ready to show some leg!

Black and beige are the easiest colors to match.  I have it here with this orange silky blouse.  All colors are a go with this skirt: red, coral, blue, green, mustard, yellow, white, black, fuchsia, the list can go on and on!  This is a hot little number so I topped it off with this feisty jacket.  

For the office, keep the blouse and add a blazer or cardigan and classic black pumps.

Hostess with the Mostess!

Last weekend I threw my very first baby shower.  The guest of honor was obviously the center of attention.  My Sevier Skirt was a close second!  I threw on my Ellie-Pink and people couldn't stop commenting!

As the host of the party, you must look nice while not stealing the show.  So, your outfit needs to be well thought out.  Here are my tips:

1. Pick a statement piece (I chose my Ellie Pink Sevier Skirt)

2. Tone the rest of the outfit down to be casual (Riding boots and a chambray top will do the trick)

3.  Have some fun with it.  If it's a girl, wear pink; blue if it's a boy!

Top Right: Tissue Flower Decor
Bottom Right: Diaper center pieces

With TWO girls coming, I had to dress the part.
That's why I grabbed my favorite pink skirt!

Bad News:  The Ellie Pink is sold out.  

Good News:  I have hand selected three in season skirts that are perfect for the occasion!

I look for three things when selecting a baby shower outfit. 

1. Color-If its a girl, wear pink.  Boy, wear blue.  And if it is a surprise go with yellow, orange or another gender neutral color.

2. Texture-People can't help but comment on a textured garment.  The velvet in the Ellie Orange and Vivian Coral are perfect.  When the light hits it just right, the sheen in the skirt will be the envy of all your friends!  The Tribal Blue has tufts placed throughout the skirt that give it a nice 3-dimensional element.

3. Comfort & Durability-You are going to be on and off your feet all day, so choose a fabric that is comfortable and won't crease and wrinkle easily.  Canvas cottons are great for this!

Want at look like mine?  The Vivian Coral is a great alternative to the Ellie-Pink.  Same texture and color!  For a similar style, the Ellie-Orange and the Tribal Blue are great.  Finish the look with a chambray top, a brown leather belt and brown riding boots.  You will appear as effortless and put together as your baby-shower!

Feb 14th: Get Your Flirt On!

I had too much fun making today's blog!  Last time, we saw what your steamy V-Day look would be.  Today, lets turn that hue from crimson to pink as we get into the Flirty V-Day Look.  The trick we need to remember here is that you can look pretty, cute and a bit of a flirt without looking like you shopped in your daughters closet.

Instead, shop in ours!  Today I picked my top two V-Day skirts for the Pretty In Pink look:  Charlotte's Web Lavender & Vivian- Coral.

I love the way they are already styled!  The girls hit the nail on the head color- wise for the Vivian.  Pinks and greens are complimentary so this mint is a refreshing option for the coral.  If you don't have a mint top, go neutral.  Either way, wear nude pumps like the ones we have above!

The next skirt is one of my top 5 new favs!  The Charlotte's Web is classy, with beautiful ornate detailing.  She is perfect for Valentines.  Again, the girls styled her beautifully.  I love the off white blouse for every day of the year.  On Feb. 14th, try a pink top like the one I have above.  Go nude for the pumps!

Treat yourself to a trip to Sephora or Woo Cosmetics before the special day.  Your makeup can change your entire look.   For this flirty look, try some pinks!

SOW: Knit Houndstooth Black & Ivory

We've got a fresh one for this weeks SOW!  The Knit Houndstooth Black & Ivory is a brand spankin' new 2012 Fall Fabric and were giving it to you 20% off this week!  Buy online or at your next skirt party.

The Knit Houndstooth has a lot of stretch in it, and I mean a lot.  I recommend this skirt in a swing.  If you dress for comfort and style, this is your skirt.  It will hang beautifully on you.

This skirt is incredibly easy to match.  It is black and Ivory so all colors besides a brown top go with it.  I love red with houndstooth so I picked a red jacket to go with the skirt above.  

Aside from the look above, here is what I recommend for the Knit Houndstooth: white or black top (blouse or knit long sleeves) with a red or royal blue or another bold cardigan over top.

Hint: This weeks Game Day Look will be done with this skirt.  Can you guess which school its going to be?! 

                   

SOW: Amelia Black and White

September is finally here!  Not only is it the start of a new season, but Skirt Season has officially started as well!  To celebrate, we are discounting one of our top sellers this week for our SOW.  The Amelia Black and White is one hot commodity!  This is a light-medium weight black cotton with white flower appliqués embroidered onto it, giving it a great texture.

This skirt will easily be your go to all year round.  Summer time?  Pair it with flip flops.  Fall/Winter?  Strap on your favorite boots!

Above I have it paired with loose blouses.  I love this look!  Wrap a belt around your true waist leaving the shirt tails tucked out of the skirt and you have yourself one heck of a look.  Another bonus of the Amelia?  The white flowers are stitched down with multi colored thread.  It pops against the white of the flowers leaving you with endless options to pair with it.  The colors include purple, yellow, green, pink, and orange.  Your color choices are endless!

This skirt is appropriate for so many occasions.  Church, work, dinners out, casual, semi formal, etc. etc.  Bottom line, this skirt is a knock out.  The Amelia is a Sevier Skirt Signature.  She is an eye catching fabric with tons of colors to pair with her.  Outfitting this skirt is going to be a breeze.  Now all you have to decide on is where to go in her!
