Before you start shopping for fall weather clothes, switch out your closet first! We can’t believe (or remember) all the clothes packed away at the start of spring. Do you unpack the drawers or extra closet and think “I forgot I had this!” or “I’m glad I didn’t go buy an [insert what you wanted], because look! I have one…
With Fall’s arrival and the temperatures dropping, it’s time to pull out the jeans. We have our favorite brands, but there is always the elusive perfect fit and color that keeps us checking out the racks at our favorite thrift stores. Winter Bee I am happy with dark wash jeans, but every so often I like to brighten things up…
We are revisiting our dress selection in our closets, this time for summer! Here is what we are wearing. Tangerine Tea While I am proud to say I still have all the dresses that I posted about last spring (check that out here), I do have some more I’d love to share! First I want to start with my favorite…
Every job has a different dress code. How do you decide what to wear on a daily basis? Your fashionistas are here to give you the scoop on what a work week wardrobe looks like! Tangerine Tea: I work in an office 4 of the 5 work days. When I’m in the office, I dress business casual. I feel like…
It was another impulse trip to Goodwill. Every time we meet up for breakfast there’s time to kill before Rachel’s nail appointment so guess where we go! WinterBee I found a couple of shirts I liked. It’s challenging finding tunic shirts now they’ve gone ‘out of style’. I love that look and I feel great wearing tunics or dresses with…
Ahhhh, cashmere. It’s the sweater we all want until we see the price tag. I bit the bullet a few years ago and picked up a cashmere sweater at Talbots on sale. It’s gray (a color I don’t wear) and a bit of a high crew neckline (we all know how I feel about turtlenecks) but it just feels so…
A few months ago I picked up a brown vintage mock turtleneck sweater. I’m not a turtleneck person, but I’ve had mock-necks in the past and enjoyed them. I thought I’d be fine. I was not. I’m bummed too; I got it to wear with this vest and it’s perfect but Can’t. Do. The. Neck. (Insert theatrical choking sounds.) I…
We hooked up with our friend Liz and made a trip to to the secondhand store Savers in Warwick RI. We had a great time! As it turned out, the dressing rooms were closed so we couldn’t try on any clothes. We thought they would accept returns, but when we checked out the cashier told us returns had to be…
Rachel texting Pam: Hey I’m parked right behind you at the Mall! Pam: Yay! I’m at Old Navy. Rachel: I’m working my way from the other end, see you soon. Are we the only ones or do you just *happen* to find something good for yourself while holiday shopping? Here’s where we went and what we scored! Winter Bee: I’m…
We took a spur of the moment Goodwill trip to a store about hour away from where we live. Unlike a retail store where the merchandise is always the same no matter what store you’re in, shopping at different thrift stores means you never find the same thing twice! It’s the time to change the summer to fall closet and…
