Clothing

I'm stuck waiting on a meeting and realized I haven't 'really' blogged in a while... so here we go.  A real post about something other than my house.

I like fashion.  And in my industry, I feel I need to look like I have some sort of style, or at least that I try.

But lately, I've found that I don't have the time to leisurely stroll the mall looking for sales.  Sales on clothes that I don't totally love in the first place.  All the stores in the mall look the same right now and I'm just not digging it.  I'm also a 'tweener' when it comes to style.  I want to be 'hip and cool', but I need to also look professional and non-slutty :).

So I've started doing a little online clothes shopping.  I've never been an online clothes shopper in the past, mainly due to my shape.  I'm tall in weird areas but have shorter legs... a shape that is not crafted for the masses.  But I've recently had some success with some new stores and I thought I'd share!

Boden is a UK based company that just expanded their website to US prices and sizes.  The best thing about Boden: they have Tall sizes in their dresses!  Finally sheath dresses that aren't mini! (My mom is heading to London in late summer and I've asked her to keep her eyes peeled for stores)

LL Bean just came out with a 'Signature Line'.  Not all flannels and fleece anymore.  Very conservative, but great classic lines and great quality.  A little high on the price scale, but these pieces are made to last.

I haven't purchased anything from them yet.  But their styles are simple and really affordable.  The fabrics are mostly natural too, which I tend to lean towards.  Looking to purchase this little number for an upcoming wedding.

Ok, back to reality.
