New Lookbook: Dressing the part
We are never at loss when it comes to pairing certain items together to create looks that are both inspirational & practical. It is something all of us at www.shopchantal.com& chantal. live for, and every day inspiration comes through our doors in the form of new deliveries that keep the creative juices pumping. We are a little obsessed when it comes to creating looks, and we get super excited when we see a great shot from a recent photo shoot that captures that perfect “style” or “edge” that we are constantly craving. Our lookbook has become somewhat of a “fashion diary”. We even archive looks from previous years to help inspire us for looks of the present.
Our latest mini-series focuses around a staple piece that no woman’s closet is without: the dress. We have taken 3 different dresses, each style completely different than the other, and put them in 3 different “scenarios”: drinks and dinner, perfect for the office, and a day of shopping. The best part about these dresses is the versatility each one offers when accessorized in different ways to become appropriate for just about any occasion or situation you may find yourself at or in. There is no need to keep a dressy dress in the back of your closet until that next cocktail party or wedding, layer it with Plush’s Fleece Lined Footless Tights or their Footed Tights and Twelfth Street’s Finley Sweater to create a look full of downtown edge that is great for both day or night.
Or how about that strapless number that bares a bit too much alone to be “appropriate” for the office? When paired over Pencey’s Plaid Tux Blouse, also amazing tucked into a skirt or casually paired back to your favorite pair of jeans, and accessorized with Twelfth Street’s structured “Couture” Smith Bag & Reva Boot the look becomes instantly smart and perfect for the office.
And let’s not forget how we are going to acquire a dress that fits our need or the accessories to take it from a dress you may have only worn once to one that is glued to your body–a day of shopping! A look that should exude confidence & should represent your style! Taking a dress that has an easy, comfortable shapethat can be tweaked just so to create the look your after: cinch in the waist with the Street’s Ahead Stitched Belt, carry a bag large enough to hold items needed for a full days work of shopping like Twelfth Street’s “Atlas” Berkley Bag and most importantly, a comfortable, yet stylish shoe is critical.
Both our website and store have wide offerings of dresses in different styles, colors, and fabrics along with all the accessories you may need to complete the part you are dressing for.
