BACK. IN. STOCK...


SO very excited to have the popular, previously sold out, brown and tan woven plaid infinity scarf BACK IN STOCK:



This scarf was featured in an Etsy Finds Email for gift ideas for men or women and was completely sold out (including backstock!) within three hours of the email being sent out.



With the many many requests of "Are you going to have this scarf back in stock?" still in my convo inbox I was giddy to find more of this FAB fabric today.



I also scored these four previously sold out scarf fabrics! Wahoo, BACK. IN. STOCK.

Large square lumberjack plaid:


Multicolored Argyle flannel:


And multicolored Argyle print on a chocolate brown fleece:


And the fun Sherbet Plaid fleece:


Oh yes, my shopping cart was jammed so full of bolts of fabric I couldn't see over it...and nearly knocked down a few diplays on the trek to the cutting counter. However, it worth the strange looks and raised eyebrows!

Does anyone like Polka dots? Or Houndstooth? How bout versatile black and white? Stay tuned for more springweight infinity loop scarves coming soon...

Jewel Tones...


As a very very dark brunette, my best complimentary colors are those in saturated shades. No light peach for me.

I was browsing online (yes, again. Anything to avoid laundry) and found a few SERIOUSLY drool worthy jewel toned items.

Not a big shock, but I love this deep teal. A great outfit base that you can add funky jewelry, patterned shoes or a sassy cardi or scarf and good to go. I'm thinking tall brown cowboy-esque heeled boots and a wide brown belt - a sexy YEEHAW!!! :

(Modcloth)

A. Dorable and great for those of us are pear shaped. Just needs red high heels:

Yes, you heard what I said. Red and purple? Uh-huh. Be daring.
(Modcloth. Again)

This piece doesn't need an intro:

(Of course, Modcloth)

And lastly, these made me gasp. Out loud. Guess that would be GOL. Yep, I'd wear these sassy red boots to Church, wouldn't you?:

(You should know by now where to find these)

Drooling yet? I am. Cause I can't justify $218.99 on one pair of boots. Y'all know how cheap and thrifty I am. But DANG those boots are cute.

Nautical Stripes...


NY Fashion Week showed Nautical inspired wear is back! I LOVE this type of clothing. Simple, clean cut lines, casual yet preppy dresses, All American colors (Red White and Blue!), and STRIPES. I LOVE me some STRIPES. However, you and I both know how stripes can look on a person.

WIDE horizontal stripes across a (*Ahem*Postpartum x2) belly? Forget it.
TINY horizontal stripes?? A bit better.
Vertical stripes? Acceptable.
Cleverly placed slimming asymmetrical stripes? AWESOME! I would classify it as the optimal clothing optical illusion.

Stripe Example #1:


Hello slenderization! The angles will accent your lower ribcage (smallest part of the torso) and the layers across the (*Ahem*Postpartum x2) belly are pure disguising brilliance. Just add cute jeans, a pop of color in accessories, flower pins, or shoes and good to go.

Example #2:


Tiny ticking-esque vertical stripes? Winner! I don't know about you but I LOVE the bow....which makes this skirt: Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.

Example #3:


As the national spokewoman for Females Who Are Pear Shaped (FWAPS!), I heartily recommend this dress. Emphasize the upper twins, de-emphasize the lower twins. YouknowwhatImean.

Example #4:


Same logic as #3. Hello comfortable. Summer chic anyone?

Not on my recommendations list (Horizontal stripes on small fitted shorts? NO) but I have just one question:



Why do her ta-ta's have wings?

Happy stripes shopping!
