That’s a Wrap!

Fall Dressing Made Easy

Crisp fall weather has settled in, which means you have probably pulled out a jacket or two to have on stand-by when you’re heading out the door.  But if you’re someone who hates the bulk of a jacket or coat when you’re in the car, or at least the wrinkles it can leave on your outfit by the time you arrive at your destination, we have a suggestion: Try a poncho or a wrap. 

Our boutique is filled with lots of choices with different materials, colors and patterns.  And what’s really fun about them is the variety of ways to wear them.  Some have arm holes that you can chose to use or not.  One style has buttons and comes with a tag that shows three ways to position it.  A few of the styles have a real vintage vibe to them, which beg you to borrow one of your grandmother’s pins to hold it in place. A couple of our sweaters and ponchos have faux fur trim, which gives an immediate elegance to your look. 

We love the soft, muted colors on many of the wraps, ponchos, sweaters and tops in the boutique right now, but we also have a section filled with items featuring red, black and white, including the classic buffalo plaid print.

Wraps and ponchos also make great gifts, because they are one-size-fits-all. Add a pair of gloves or a hat and a nice long necklace, and you’ve given someone an outfit that will standout, without having to worry if anything will fit.

If you’re looking for fun, novelty gifts, we have lots of graphic Ts, fringe earrings, beaded bracelets, handbags, zippered pouches in fun patterns, an overnight bag that comes in two colors (both with a sparkle) and infinity scarves.

And we’ll share a secret with you — if you want your infinity scarf to lay better and stand out, give it a twist.  Here’s how:  Stretch out the scarf, twist it once, bring the ends together and pull over your head.  Position the scarf so the twist is in the front. Not only will this mean less bulk around your neck, it will add that effortless “cool girl” vibe to your look.

And while you’re shopping our boutique for the women in your life, check out our shelving unit filled with gift ideas for men.  We have beer mugs, oversized shot glasses and whiskey stones (which can be used to keep other drinks chilled as well), plus ties and scarves.

After all, Christmas is less than two months away now!
