One of the best parts about the transitional weather, is the infinite number of outfits you can put together with just a few staple pieces. (Seriously, the limit does not exist.) Your vintage t-shirts pair perfectly with skinny jeans, as well as with your wide-leg pants. Your slim-fit crop top looks great tucked into a skirt with both sandals and ankle boots, but it can also be just as easily worn with your favorite high-waisted shorts. And now, there’s a new layer that’s here to make any wardrobe even chicer: the shacket, aka the shirt jacket trend.
What is a shacket, you ask? It looks like a shirt, but layers like a jacket. It’s heavy enough to provide some warmth, but not too heavy when you find the temperatures creeping into the late 60’s when the forecast clearly stated a high of 58 degrees last time you checked. It’s the perfect middle ground between a shirt and a jacket. And when layered over your outfit on a chilly day, a next-level ensemble is born.
Think of a shacket as the warmer weather alternative to shearling jackets. Whether you live in leggings during this season or never take off your chicest denim, there are so many shackets just waiting to elevate your favorite looks. We are all about layering in the Northwest so the shacket is a great option.
What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique: Shackets, cardigans, denim, scarves, handbags & ponchos, oh my!
This week we have, what, can you guess? Shackets by BLUE B and LOVE TREE. They come in tribal designs, and solid colors. They will be sailing off the racks! This I know. Some are a little longer like a shirt and some are more boxy like a jacket, thus the shacket!
ACTIVE USA has so many great cardigans in stripes and solids as well. Perfect layering pieces in different weights and lengths.
We have been waiting patiently for all of our jeans to come in and we are happy to say that KAN CAN and VERVET have graced our boutique with some boot-cut and wide-leg styles. Dark and light denim washes are here for the taking.
L.I.B. Handbags in Tartan and Aztec designs are perfect for Fall. They are the perfect size for any ensemble!
RUGGINE Crocheted Ponchos are new to Meadow Boutique and so soft and cozy.
NEWS FLASH: We also received some PETITE denim sizes by KAN CAN in boot cut in 2 different washes. If you are a petite woman needing some jeans and are finding them too long in regular sizes, these may be just what you have been looking for. I sold a pair yesterday and they looked fabulous and the customer was very happy! She also commented on how much she loved shopping at Meadow because we have always been available to help her and suggest fashion she may never have considered. We are always so happy and humbled when we hear this kind of feedback. So, thank you!
Many of your have spoken to us about how excited you are to shop for Fall Fashion. So are we! Last year we were happy just to find some comfy sweats and joggers to wear for those Zoom work calls. This year we can actually throw on something from a real Fall wardrobe and look fabulous as we head out the door for a meeting or event in person. Feels so good, right? We certainly think so because we are just like you wanting so much more this year in the way of seasonal dress. I am cleaning out my closet and getting rid off lots of stuff from last year. I am so excited to purchase some new pieces that will enhance my wardrobe. Come on in, we would love to see you. We want you to experience the joy of buying something new that gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling all over. After all, it is the season…..Bring your friends, your dog, your pumpkin latte and peruse our racks. We are ready for this amazing season of change and like the song says…. “Change is gonna do you good!” xoxoxo
Our quote this week comes from the Fashion Icon, Iris Apfel. She turned 100 years old this month and one of the wisest women I know in Fashion. She’s had an absolutely fascinating life.
“You should learn how to be individuals. Don’t follow a mob and look like everybody else. Take your clothes out and put them together in different ways and you see how much fun it is. Be creative, and be yourself. Don’t be like everybody else. You were blessed with a personality, and you should express it—not try to be one of the herd.”
