Meadow Boutique has tons of colors and styles for Summer. So what’s new this week you ask?

ANGIE is one of our favorites with lovely dresses and kimonos. The colors are stunning and oh so Summer-y. The dresses are short with spaghetti straps for anyone of the age that loves to wear that style. I remember wearing those kinds of dresses when I was young. Now I have to add a light sweater or top over my shoulders! My Décolleté is not what it use to be at 64….LOL At my age we can still make it work with added pieces. So never fear - you are not too old to wear those boho styles you wore in the past. Like I said, there is a way to make them work and sill look like a million bucks! When I hear women say they are too old to wear certain things, I get it. I have my own list of fashion that is past due. If I like something though, I figure out ways to wear it adding as needed to make it age appropriate for my style. There is also a green dip-dry maxi that I have my sites on. I am determined to make it work by throwing on a little shirt or light sweater. At Meadow we are all about at least ….TRYING.

PAINTED THREADS with 2 stylish dresses, that are so flattering. One in a brown color and the other black. I suggest you add some color to both of these dresses. Like pinks and blues in jackets or sweaters, because remember it’s Summer. Browns and blacks and grey and beige, like we Seattleites wear, can change the look when we add pops of color to make Summer come alive. If you need help, come in and ask us and we will help you! Most likely, you have something in that closet of yours to pop a color with any of those neutrals.

SUNGLASSES! We need then now more than ever with that bright Seattle sun. We have so many styles for only $12, so if you lose them you won’t feel too bad. Put a few in your glove box and you will always have them available whenever that sun decides to peak out.

There's also a lovely midi spaghetti strap dress in a steel grey from GILLI. I can see it with some pops of pink or teal or yellow. Also a pair of light denim from MIOU MUSE, cut off at the bottom and wide leg.

And as usual, we have things coming in all the time, so you never know what Shelley might decide to put out on a whim. She does that quite often. That’s what we love about Meadow Boutique, there is always something new, nothing is stagnant in this boutique. We hope we have sparked your interest to come in and check out our merchandise. There’s no time like the present! Grab that iced latte and get your browse on, we can’t wait to see you! xoxoxoxo
