The problem with writing about independent fashion is, I've become spoiled. This weekend I went shopping at a HUGE factory outlet mall.... it had everything from Banana Republic to Barneys... Coach, Lacoste, Bebe, you name it...
The problem was, nothing really appealed to me. Sure, stores like Saks and Barneys have beautiful clothes, but the problem was many of the "new" items were styles I saw last year in your collections. Now I know that's part of the whole factory-outlet experience... some of the clothes will of course be outdated, but I mean everything was a snooze.
Needless to say, I'm going to stick with independent design and save the outlet shopping for all the suits I'm going to have to wear next year (gulp).
Anyway . . . as I mentioned last week, I'm on vacation. The outfit of choice: Salt Works Jeans and t-shirt. After wearing my FreeGums shirt two days in a row (You thought I was kidding? And no, no one noticed, just in case you were wondering), its time for something new (and a load of laundry).
Time for my Heavy Tee... This site is great because not only does it have some of the hottest t-shirt deigns I've seen, it also has a great T-shirt of the Month Club. For less than $20 a month (much lower than the price you'd pay for one designer t-shirt), you can sign up for their club and get a fresh t-shirt sent to you every month! A fabulous gift for yourself and an even better gift for that friend who has everything!
