Tuesdays Tip...

For those of you out there who need dresses or other cute things like shirts. I have a few websites to share that I love.
Shabby Apple
I have two dresses from Shabby Apple and they are great. My favorite is a blue shirt dress that wear with a red bed, and red shoes! So fun!
Down East Basics
They have great shirts that are longer, and their dresses are cute too.
Layers clothing
Last one is Layers. I discovered layers a long time ago. What I love about layers is they are new and "in". They are comfy and they wash great. Back in May my sister, Lindsey and I headed over to their warehouse. Typically layers sells through 1)website 2)through consultants/parties... but I read online you could go to the warehouse and try stuff on etc... I prefer a store atmosphere. Anyway, we headed over there. First look and we were not sure about the styles and we about to leave with just a few items. Just as we were about to take off a darling girl came in and helped us out. She was grabbing shirts, offering advice, helping me realize I was trying them on two sizes too big, etc... She had great ideas and she got us to try stuff out of the box. She was giving us amazing service, running and grabbing sizes and colors, she even went and got three other equally darling girls who served us hand and foot. They gabbed and were just sweeties. After a moment I asked the girl at the reception who she was, afterall she deserved a real positive review from me right? She whispers that she was the designer and owner and the girls were her sister/partners. As time went on ( we were there forever) they allowed Lindsey to play with their children. Lindsey was allowed all over the site, back in the rooms, played hide and seek, etc... She was in heaven and thought she had been given star treatment. We ended up spending a lot on the shirts, which were all darling. I was so impressed with the service we received from someone who likely doesn't do that part much anymore. She had great taste and style and I really just loved all of them. So check out layers and buy them, she is so wonderful! It's a memory we all won't soon forget! They also sell cute swim suits, of which I own two. I have a lot of their shirts too.

Wow, I think my wife needs a little girl, I read all the way through that post and was amazed by the "little girl" world that you folks with girls live in.

We already have four boys, but hey, after you have four kids, whats one or two more? :)
