Memorial Weekend in Seattle is like watching a sitcom where the weather is the quirky main character. One minute, it's sunny and everyone’s out barbecuing like they've never seen a grill before, and the next, a raincloud rolls in like an uninvited guest who didn't get the memo about the outdoor party. Umbrellas pop up faster than a flash mob, and everyone huddles under them, pretending they’re enjoying a spontaneous rain shower. The brave few who venture to the beach are a sight: bundled in hoodies and flip-flops, roasting marshmallows over a soggy fire, and swatting away raindrops like they're the mosquitos of the Pacific Northwest. Yet, in true Seattle fashion, the caffeine-fueled optimism never fades, because who needs perfect weather when you have coffee, quirky rain jackets, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, the sun will make a guest appearance before the weekend’s over?
So what about Meadow Boutique’s new arrivals this week. Let’s take a look!
There’s lots of DOUBLE ZERO in the mix this week. DOUBLE ZERO is truly on of our best lines for tanks and tees. STACCATO is right in there too with stylish tees and tops. DOE & RAE in with some cute pants and tanks as well. It’s a tank kind of week. Perfect for layering! our denim this week is VERVET and SNEEK PEAK. CHRIS & CAROL with a striped pant, NAKED ZEBRA with a tencel pant and LOVE TREE with some lightweight joggers. If you want to have a athletic look, try the GIO GIO athletic maxi skirt, so trendy, especially paired with the gold sandals. We have some perfect pairings this week if I do say so myself. Don’t forget about accessorizing with our colorful JEN & CO. bags. They are so versatile and I know some of you have many colors. Very wise choice!
