A must-have dress.
Posted in Dresses, Outfit, Shade on March 1st, 2010 by Emily – 7 CommentsThis morning, while reading one of my favorite blogs, Stephmodo, I saw a link to a new collection by Narciso Rodriguez. I’m not a designer clothes-wearing kind of girl, but I have always liked Rodriguez’s clothes. (First Lady Michelle Obama wears Narciso Rodriguez all the time, and looks fantastic.) Of course, a cute and simple knit black dress caught my attention, and then I realized, I pretty much already have this dress. Check out the comparison:
Cute dress and cute shoes, but this look will set you back $720.00. Yes, that’s right, seven hundred twenty DOLLARS. Crazy.
For that kind of money, you could buy:
an almost identical dress (from Shade Clothing, one of my all-time favorites), cute shoes and accessories for three separate looks, and still have $300 left over. I have this dress and believe it to be the perfect casual-on-the-verge-of-nice (business casual?) little black dress. The scoopneck is just the right amount of scoop, flattering without giving away the farm. It looks more sleek than it feels…it feels like you’re wearing a dress made out of your favorite sweatshirt. I seriously love this dress, and wore an outfit similar to outfit #1 just the other day.
Trust me on this one, you’ll love this dress. And it’s on sale. What more could you want?

Alrighty, we have a great giveaway for you today! Shade Clothing is giving up one super cute Denim Skirt!
Jana did a review for us and here it is:
I absolutely love this denim skirt. It is so extremely versatile. I found I could easily dress it up or down depending on the top and shoes I wore with it. The darker denim wash also made it versatile in the types of tops and colors I could wear with it.
I also loved how flattering this skirt was to my figure. It is very slimming and fits like a pencil skirt, holding in my extra curves and making me feel thin and beautiful.
The length of this skirt is perfect. It hits me just below the kneecap even when I’m sitting down which also means it stayed in place and didn’t creep up like some pencil skirts do. Even after wearing it all day, it stayed in place and was very comfortable.
The last thing I loved about this skirt were the hidden snap buttons on back. Instead of a slit in back, there are three buttons holding the slit closed that allow you to adjust the slit of the skirt to work for you. This made it very easy to walk in while still giving me a straight silhouette. I would absolutely recommend this skirt to every body type and anyone who is looking for a versatile, slimming denim skirt. And for the price, how can you beat it?!
So, if you would like to win this skirt… go on over to Shade Clothing, check it out… and then leave us a comment before Tuesday the 13th at Midnight!
Also, Shade is giving 5 deserving women wardrobes! If you know of someone you would like to nominate to win… please email Ali at ali@shadeclothing.com

Layering issues, from our reader, Brittney C.
Posted in Charlotte Russe, Downeast Basics, Layering Pieces, Outfit, Shade, Tops on July 30th, 2009 by Natalie – 4 CommentsHi ladies! I LOVE your site…so many great ideas, and awesome advice for those of us trying to look good.
One issue I almost always have is that layers tend to slide off around my boobs, exposing my bra strap, etc. That’s obviously not the look I’m going for! If I get my layers in a larger size, I lose any shape I had. Do I need to just stick with tshirts underneath, (and if so, can you suggest some?) or do you know some magic solution with safety pins that can save me?
Thanks for any help. Keep up the amazing site!

Brittney! I’m so glad you wrote us this email. I totally have the same problem. An easy fix to the problem is buying “sleeveless” tops instead of “tank” tops. The three tops that I am showing here are all slightly different, but all of them will keep your bra straps covered! The only way anyone will see anything is if your top layer totally falls off one of your shoulders. So… ditch the tank tops… and get some sleeveless blouses to wear for your layering outfits! I hope this helps! Also, if you are looking for simple tees to wear underneath, I would check out DownEast’s Wonder Tee, and Shade’s Classic Cap Sleeve.
Peace. Natalie
