One of my favorite outfits on a warm summer, or early fall day, is a midi skirt with a comfortable, lightweight tee. It is perfect for getting out of jeans here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We are a casual bunch here in NorCal. So, when someone is dressed up, they stick out like a sore thumb; not in a good way. By pairing a dressier midi skirt with a casual tee, I can create a combination which is both occasion appropriate, and reflects Bay Area style. Not only that, tee shirts are more comfortable than jeans! Win/win 😉
This midi skirt is a fall piece. Since our weather in the Bay Area doesn’t cool down until late October, sometimes early November, being able to pair a fall piece with a lightweight, comfortable piece, is the easiest way to look “fall-ish,” without feeling fall; if you catch my drift 😉
What is your favorite way to look fall, yet stay cool, when the temperatures still scream summer?
Last week I met my fabulous friend Laura from Have-Need-Want for happy hour at Cin Cin in Los Gatos. I was coming off a stressful few days after my car was rear-ended, and it started to have mechanical problems after the body work was completed. Nothing makes problems seem small like a fun conversation, and the most amazing truffle fries on Earth! Yes, I said truffle fries. Can we say a-ma-zing!!!
I was excited to have an excuse to wear my new blouse from Lush which I purchased for fall, and a pair of flare jeans. The blouse is almost as long as a dress! The length makes the blouse really fun and versatile. So far, I have worn it with flare jeans, as in the photos above, but I also found a great way to wear it in colder weather.
When late fall, and early winter approaches, this blouse by Lush looks amazing with a wool scarf, worn over leggings or skinny jeans, with flare jeans (of course), and paired with cozy boots. Throw a coat on top and it is a casual-yet-put-together look. Love that! I might be addicted to this shirt 😉
I have to rave about these photos too. Laura did a great job! Make sure you check out her website at have-need-want.com.
ModCloth has opened a new pop-up Fit Shop for a limited time in San Francisco at 222 Grant Avenue. This exciting concept allows shoppers to work one-on-one with a personal fit stylist who not only helps you find the perfect ensembles, she sets you up in a fitting room, assists you with sizes, and she can even measure you to find out your perfect fit! Love that!
Since ModCloth is an online retailer, the Fit Shop is a great way to try on their clothing before you buy something online. If you have never tried ModCoth before, this is a great way to acquaint yourself with their clothing, and see what your size would be in their apparel. This will enable you in the future to be able to shop on ModCloth.com easily! Now THAT is fabulous 😉
I have never shopped from ModCloth before, so when I was invited to check out the store, I was excited to see what they had to offer. As expected, the clothing has a vintage, feminine feel. I loved the vibe of the store, and the wide selection. My Fit Stylist Ashley, was amazing to work with. She was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable. I had my kids with me, and she was very patient with them too; which is fabulous!
Ashley set me up with a room filled with my selections. She also brought me a few extra items to help me create complete outfits. She read my taste like a book! She brought me a fabulous navy top, which I instantly fell in love with!
The concept of the store is to enable shoppers to work with a Fit Stylist who can assist you in finding looks from their online store. While the jewelry, vintage tee’s, and select vintage apparel is available for immediate purchase, everything in the store you try on is a sample. If you like what you try on, your Fit Stylist will order the items for you, and they will be delivered right to your doorstep. This is a nice touch when you are in downtown San Francisco. After all, no-one wants to carry shopping bags around downtown; especially if you have to take BART, Cal Train or Muni home! Can we say clumsy?!!
After visiting ModCloth’s Fit Shop, I now know my size; and I will be able to easily order from the website in the future. If you like ModCloth, or have never ordered from them before, a visit to the Fit Shop is a must!
The ModCloth Fit Shop will be located at 222 Grant Ave., San Francisco, CA, until August 17, 2015. To make an appointment, please call 1-844-FITSHOP or book online here.
