Back to Basics: Jeans & Tees…OH MY!
Jean & Tee Girl: Drew Barrymore
Every year, there are a handful of customers who await for the arrival of certain designers, specific items, and share in our excitement to wear it all NOW. These same customers also come to us every year looking for similar or the same items that are such staples to their wardrobes that they must “refresh” them every year or simply want more of what they already have. These women are women after my own heart as I rely on the same basics every year, as well, but I also understand the importance of (this is one of my favorite quotes from one of my dearest friends) “freshin’ it up” – Chantal Young. Simply put, that favorite t-shirt, pair of jeans, comfy sweater, or warm pair of tights may be a bit worn after living in it all winter long & pieces, such as these, can use a little replacement every now and again. More importantly, we have picked up some great new designers since last fall (don’t worry we kept all the “old faithfuls,” as well) whose collections include some of the best every-day pieces (especially for the jean & tee girl) we have seen in the 4 years we have been open.
Sharon Segal has perfected the burn out tee in a silhouette that screams, “I am the perfect long sleeve basic!” For all our customers who have loved Splendid’s Very Light Jersey Collection for tee’s, we are positive that you will fall in love with Sharon Segal’s Cloud Burnout Long Sleeve U Neck, offered in both charcoal and white–my opinion, you’ll need them both.
Long Sleeve t-shirts are always sought after by our customers every year around this time, but it’s also the season for denim! Basically, it’s a no brainer–what two pieces work more organically together than a tee and jeans? As most of you know, we are always picking up new denim lines to keep things interesting, and our newest line, [BLANK], has everyone talking. Not only do their skinny jeans fit perfectly & flatter endlessly, but the price point is very appropriate considering the economy, at the moment. [BLANK] has offered up two basic washes along with some fun, trend-worthy washes and fabrics, as well. We are loving their Denim Skinnie Classique in Creamy Asian. Yes, a basic blue jean in a basic style, but also with just a hint of trends we are loving at the moment (Distressing & Studs–featured, just slightly, on the back pocket).
Important to note, these basics are extremely appropriate for every day and do not have a shelf-life, but they also look best when accessorized just a bit to create a “look” or “style” that is still comfortable, but not boring. Simply throw on a Me & Kashmiere Scarf, tuck those skinny jeans into a great pair of boots, and find a lush jacket that can be worn with so many different things…and don’t forget the bag!
