Pretty and Polished

14 May

I love to stop into Madewell to see what is new! One of the things I especially love is all of the dresses they show… Just in time for the warmer weather! Nothing is easier and says Spring more than a cute dress!

Their dresses are just so versatile! I never look at their dresses and think they are necessarily “Dressy” because for the most part they have a laid back appeal.

Let’s take a look at the store!  Taking a glimpse at how the store fashions the mannequins can be so helpful and useful when trying to put your own looks together!  Have you ever purchased an exact look you saw on display??

silk cami dress in flora
  $155.00  Item# 89597
An instant party favorite, this prettily printed dress (inspired by a vintage painting our designers unearthed) combines form, function and fun.

Here is a nice example of their dresses that have an every day look/any event appeal!  Notice how you can throw a scarf on to change the look?  Or a long necklace… or what about a denim vest or denim shirt? I love a cross body bag too!

But a MUST HAVE this season is the denim vest!! It looks so cool over a sundress!  What do you think?  Digging it or not? I think it is a great layering piece!

Plenty of fun shades and accessories to complete your summer look! I love the pops of color on the sunglasses!

Fun brights and pops of neon make you Summer Ready! I love how they show you how to pair something like a bright skirt with a basic button down!

Shop Madewell for women’s clothing, including denim jeans, designer jeans, women’s tank tops, jackets, sweaters and more.

Madewell has a tradition of old-school quality that goes into everything they do. It’s an edgy take on casual with a few vintage details and a modern twist.

Madewell is a collection of women’s clothes that speak for itself; nothing too trendy or girly, just amazing clothes infused with a modern upbeat attitude.

Let me know how you do!

Happy Shopping!!!
