Fall Essentials

I know, I know, Fall is here and we are scrambling to find that new sweater or warm coat to step into the season. It’s always a bit of a shock to go from our warm Seattle weather to, well, cooler gray skies kind of weather. It seems Fall comes on so quick, right? Never fear - Meadow is here! We have everything to fit your warm and cozy needs right now. Everything seems to be so soft, like PJ’s so we can settle into whatever we need for working or playing at home. There is nothing better than fashion that gives you a feeling of being safe and comfortable in times like these. We have heard you express that you are happy with the way fashion has become so soft & cozy, yet stylish!

If you are on Instagram, you must be seeing all the popular fashion that the influencers are projecting. The sweaters with puffy sleeves, the stretch faux leather leggings, flare jeans, fleecy coats, hats, scarves, animal prints, boots, tye-dye anything, and joggers to name few. I could keep going but I am out of breath. It’s all there online, and it’s all here at Meadow too. I kid you not! Shelley keeps her ears and eyes open for what is on trend and then thankfully brings it to Meadow at a nice price we can all afford. The truth is, we just keep getting more items to add to your wardrobe, yes, every week. I don’t know any other shop around that has such a change in merchandise as often as Meadow. It is so refreshing as a sales consultant, as it must be for you, our customers to always have something interesting and new on the racks. It’s just pure eye candy when everything is constantly changed around and color coordinated too!

All of us at Meadow wish you and your family a safe & boootiful Halloween weekend! We look forward to seeing you to help you gather up all your “Fall Essentials.” Thank you again for all your support! Gratitude is the word that comes to our mind when we write down our 5 things to be grateful for each morning - 1. our customers 2. our customers kindness 3. our customers support 4. our customers smiling eyes 5. our customers conversations. Yes, you are where our gratitude begins……..each & every day!

But before we sign off, there is also the talk of Halloween Essentials: As rustling leaves have fallen and colder days have drawn near, a question haunts the air: How will we celebrate Halloween this year? Want help planning? Here are a few crafts and activities. Gather your kids and candy lovers of all ages and dive in. The New York Times has some great ideas on how to celebrate this year.

First Stop - Meadow Boutique

So many customers have stopped by this week saying this was the first time they had been in a store since COVID. We have also had quite a few new customers who were just driving by and decided to stop or they have just moved into the neighborhood and wanted to check us out. They professed that they loved the vibe, they loved the clothes and the prices. I guess I hadn’t realized that some people have not felt comfortable enough yet going into a store. We have heard from many people that this whole thing has really stressed them out and they are just now coming up for air. You all have expressed that there will be light at the end of the tunnel and you want to have something fun to wear when that time arrives. Well, we have to say we are grateful you chose Meadow Boutique as your first stop! We have enjoyed meeting you and helping you find something you love that makes you feel special in times like these.

As some of you know, we continue to get new arrivals each week. This is something that peaks the interest of all of our customers. There is always something new to add to your wardrobe. Everything is about being warm now, so sweaters seem to be the staple that everyone is looking for. Never fear, we have them in every style and every Fall color. From short sweaters, to mid length, to sweater dresses. Cozy. Warm. Comfortable. Those 3 words sum up our fashion pieces in Meadow Boutique for October. We also have some of the cutest coats ever…..come in and see for yourself. We have short puffy coats, mid-length and stylish coats that will fit any lifestyle. One beautiful mint colored jacket is reversible, fuzzy on one side and sleek on the other - this is my pick for the week! Oh, and the scarves and hats are slowly hitting our shelves too. The warmth of the seasons colors are quite splendid!

This upcoming holiday season will look a little different than in years past. But regardless, it still offers an opportunity of reflection, celebration, and gratitude for the things you hold most dear.  And that starts with you as our customers! We are finishing our 11th year at Meadow Boutique and heading into our 12th in December. We are excited to share all the new and exciting fashion that we are are known for here in Queen Anne. We have said it before and we will say it again - without you, Meadow would not exist and we sooo appreciate you asking how business has been and how you want to support small businesses like Meadow. Hats off to you for caring and showing us extreme kindness! It means the world to us, really. We are a small boutique with a few employees so we get know people, even behind the masks! We look forward to seeing you every time you walk through our doors. So come on by, bring your friends and sip on your latte as you peruse our racks. Sometimes you will be with others, and sometimes you will have the place to yourself. We will make it fun for you no matter what!

If you see something in the photos below that you like, give us a call and let us know what size you need and we will hold it for 24 hours. You can pick it up or drive up to curbside and we will run it out for you. Whatever makes you feel comfortable shopping with us, we will do our best to accommodate.

So with that being said, we look forward to spending time with you or hearing from you soon.

2020 Changes Fashion

I read this article this week in the Washington Post, written by Abha Bhattaral. It really hit home of what we are seeing on the racks at Meadow Boutique and what people are buying, so I thought I would share some of the main points of the article with all of you. We are right in line with what the experts are saying about Fashion in 2020 after the coronavirus has upended just about every part of daily life.

“The longer we stay in this pandemic, the more our relationship with fashion will evolve,” said Dawnn Karen, a fashion psychologist and branding consultant.

Here are five changes in the fashion and beauty industries already taking hold:

Hello, false lashes

Sales of eye makeup are on the rise as Americans look for ways to express themselves behind face masks while staying six feet apart. Leading the charge - false eyelashes. “When you have to go out and you’re wearing a protective face mask, those are the products that emphasize your ‘smize’ — your smiling eyes.”

Goodbye, high heels and stiff dress shoes

“High heels are way down,” said Beth Goldstein, a footwear analyst for NPD. “The question now is whether they’ll ever rebound. Of course, some women out there are dying to put their heels back on. But I think most of them are saying, ‘I’m never going to wear those shoes again.’ ” It’s all about comfort: Slipper sales doubled in April, as Americans splurged on higher-priced options such as fur-lined Ugg products. Crocs, known for their homely but comfortable signature foam clog, also have been “super hot,” she said.

A return to basics

Malls are reopening, but don’t expect to see racks filled with seasonal trends. With money tighter, retailers and consumers are loading up on evergreen basics and neutrals. That has led many retailers to stock up on items such as plain T-shirts, classic-cut jeans, and beige and khaki pieces that won’t fall out of favor if they don’t sell right away. Jeans, joggers and leggings have become among the biggest sellers.

Shorter hemlines

According to common lore — and the century-old Hemline Index — skirts and dresses get longer as the economy worsens. But this time, analysts say, fashion is heading in the opposite direction, away from maxi dresses and floor-sweeping skirts. When business gets bad, you need to make a bold statement to get people to buy something new. And if shoppers already have closets filled with ankle-length styles, that means enticing them with above-the-knee fashion.

Even more casual wear

Corporate America has been retreating from blazers and ties for years, and analysts expect to see more athletic wear and casual attire at the office even after the pandemic is over. When Americans do head back to the office, they’re likely to trade in business casual for “Silicon Valley chic,” said Karen, the fashion psychologist. Think hoodies paired with blazers, and sweatpants with silky tops. “There will be much more mixing and matching between dressing up and dressing down,” she said. “And it’ll be okay to wear the same thing over and over again. The pressure is off.”

Sounds right, huh?

So it looks like we have all settled in to this new way of fashion, like it or not. We are here to inspire you to find great pieces at Meadow Boutique with excellent prices. We all want to be comfortable, whether we are working at home or on the go. You can count on us to stock our shelves with fashion that will help you move around in the world, no matter how and what that is for the remainder of 2020 and beyond. Thank you for trusting us and supporting us. “We are all in this together.” You are amazing customers and we couldn’t do it without you.

So now that we are in October, when the weather is changing, make sure you come in and get all those cozy sweaters you are going to need for the cooler days ahead. I hate being the one to break it to you, but it is sweater weather now. You heard me right. We have every style and color, so take your pick! We can help find the perfect one for you. And jeans, we have some new styles and labels you are going to want to check out. So repeat after me, Jeans & Sweaters, Jeans & Sweaters, Jeans & Sweaters………..OK, so you can count us to remind you of all you will need for your Fall and Winter wardrobe. And like the article above says, the pressure is off so you get to wear whatever you feel good in and I guarantee that we have it at Meadow Boutique!

Full of October

Have you had a case of the cozies this October? With all the sunny, cooler days we have had it makes us want to snuggle up in our favorite joggers and read a good book or head out with our family and look for a few fun things to do before the weather gets too cold. Meadow Boutique is ready for all your needs during October. We have fashion that will keep you in trend and comfortable, especially for those of you working from home. You will look so put together on those Zoom meetings! We promise! Joggers have been taken to a whole new level. They seem to be right up there with our favorite jeans.

So much is happening til the end of the year. We have Halloween, an Election, Thanksgiving and Christmas. OK, OK go ahead and lie down. It is really too much to think about right now, but getting yourself stocked up for Fall is one of the fun things to think about. I have turned into an absolute clothing addict with all the Fall fashion we have in the boutique right now. On any given day you will see me wearing something that is off the racks. I love all the colors……makes me feel warm and classy all over!

Speaking of warm….I know parents are having to do little projects with their kids for school these days - here’s one the whole family can enjoy or if you don’t have kids at home make it for yourself. I did and I am hooked. Adding a little ice cream to this treat is so delicious. An apple a day will keeps the doctor away! I can picture you right now in your warm joggers and sweater from Meadow having a blast making this kid friendly snack.

Kid Friendly Baked Apples

Warm baked apples are easy for little ones to chew and stuffed with an irresistible streusel topping made from whole grain oats, brown sugar, and spices.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup oats, dry

• 1/4 cup flour, all-purpose

• 1/4 cup brown sugar

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground

• 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

• 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted

• 4 medium apples

• 4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or ice cream

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

• In a bowl add the first 7 ingredients, and use your hands to mix well.

• Core the apples, and cut each in half. Place them in a baking dish, face up, and fill each apple with an even amount of oats. Pack it lightly until heaped over the top. Drizzle with cream. Bake for 40 minutes or until filling is golden and apple is soft.

• Cool for 10 minutes, then serve; add more cream if desired. (or ice cream - my pick)

You got the recipe now all I can say is “Get yourself and your friends into Meadow.” We are packed full with so many Fall pieces. No, I am not kidding, we had 18 boxes arrive in one day. Our racks are full of so many gorgeous Fall colored items. I don’t think I have ever seen the boutique this full since I have worked here. It will take you at lease 3 times around the place to see everything, because there is so much that will catch your eye. Shelley has really put her heart into finding the best and most unique pieces for Fall. I love that not everyone will have the same top, jeans, joggers or jackets that we sell at Meadow. Shelley purchases 6 of each item so when they are gone, well, I‘d like to say that we would get more, but it is highly unlikely. We will always have our regulars like Nature jeans and Dreamer sweaters, so that’s why we put out the blog so you can see what’s new and get in and get it while the getting is good!

We have a little bit of everything this week with truly amazing colors. See below for yourself. Some items have 2 looks, just for fun! I know you will not be disappointed. Thank you for sharing October with us - we look forward to all that life has to offer in the months that are left in the unforgettable year of 2020. We wish you and your family a wonderful Fall season! Bring on the pumpkin pie please…..

Your Life in Autumn Hues

There’s something very special in the air at this time of the year. A crisp autumn breeze, crackling log fires and bristling leaves, floating delicately towards the ground, inspire many people to celebrate this picturesque season.

Washington may be the Evergreen State, but in Fall, you’ll find that not all of its flora got the memo. For splashes of golden, fiery leaves amid a sea of green, these are the best spots for gazing upon the seasonal fall foliage in Washington State. Take a drive this weekend. Get inspired by the vibrant colors in Nature, then add them to your wardrobe! Here are a few of the best places for Fall Foliage in our beautiful state according to the Thrillist website. Keep in mind that trees at high elevations turn first, in early to mid-October, while those at lower elevations are best viewed later in the month. These places are as socially distant as fun gets.

1. Monte Cristo - Nestled in the North Cascades to the northwest of Monte Cristo Peak, it should come as no surprise that Monte Cristo has plenty to offer in the way of beautiful foliage. 

2. Whidbey Island Scenic Isle Way - As far as foliage is concerned, Whidbey has lots of oak trees, so you’ll see yellow and red hues all over the island.

3. Leavenworth - The drive north from Seattle to Leavenworth via Highway 2 is spectacular; don’t rush it. You’ll get foliage views from your car as good as any on a nature trail.

4. Chuckanut Drive - Washington is full of natural beauty, but Chuckanut Drive -- also known more plainly as highway 11 -- was the *first* scenic drive in the state. If you’re starting at the south end, the first half of this 21-mile drive will take you through the foliage of Larrabee State Park (the oldest state park in Washington).

5. North Cascades Highway - There are plenty of places to pull over and take in the view on this route (as well as a bunch of trailheads nearby), but we recommend the Diablo Lake Overlook -- because of powdery deposits from surrounding glaciers, the water has an incredible turquoise color that’s a must-see. 

6. Mt Baker Snoqualmie - Nestled in the slopes of the Cascade Mountains between Mt. Rainier and the Canadian border is where you’ll find Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest -- a 2,694-square mile expanse of wildlife and foliage. When the leaves turn yellow and orange and the fall air feels extra fresh, you’ll want to stay awhile.

Now that you have some places to view the trees changing colors, be sure to stop by Meadow Boutique and see all of our Fall color fashion that have been changing into stunning hues. We have a new Jean line called Vervet that has a boot cut style, black and dark wash straight leg, Love Tree with 2 open front jackets in grey and beige, an animal print jumpsuit by Le Lis and a really fun line of joggers and leggings and fashion forward sweatshirt by Mono b. There is also a jean jacket with a removable fur collar. Last by not least, we have a line of felt hats with a medium and wide brim in a variety of colors. We also have a some wonderful hand poured soy candles just in this week. The scents are perfect for any home. I have one burning as I write and it is called Urban Flower Market. It has a lovely hint of jasmine. There are so many other scents to chose from, so check it out, they are all displayed at the front of the boutique.

It’s fun to watch the season change at Meadow. It makes me feel so warm and cozy all over. I hope you will come in and see for yourself all that we have to offer in Fall Fashion! We look forward to seeing you as always. We are grateful for all your support and we are thankful to be in such a great neighborhood like Queen Anne. There is plenty of parking and always a warm welcome. So grab your hat and an apple cider—or your Birkenstocks and an iced latte, fall weather is truly unpredictable here. We are very excited to have the opportunity to get you all decked out in our Fall Fashion at Meadow Boutique. Pumpkin Latte anyone?

Top it Off

Well, “to top it off,” the smoke is hurting our eyes and breathing has become difficult if you go outdoors. Fires are raging up and down the coast and we seem to be in the top 3 worst places in the world for air quality. If you have to drive, that seems to be a difficulty as well with how far you can see in front of you. Just another item to add to the list of the year 2020. We are only reminding you of these things because we know how strong you are. We know that you will figure out ways to make these times feel some kind of normal. Let’s hope someday we will be sitting around talking about 2020 and all we endured with ease. We might even have a little laugh or two about how many masks we all collected. My question is: Will we need to recycle them?

We have a feeling the masks are going to be a staple for us moving forward for a while. In Asia, they wear masks all year round because of poor air quality. They wear masks during flu seasons and in airports to protect themselves from any airborne germs. I lived in Thailand for a few years and wearing masks was really nothing to them. It was part of life. I will say our air quality right now is worse than it was in Thailand when they burned the rice fields February thru May. The masks we wore there were highly protective and not very stylish! At Meadow Boutique, we have some of the most fun, stylish masks around. They are here if you need a new one and we will have them for a long time to come, so let’s just call that normal, shall we? Many of us are in denial about the masks and that’s OK too, but we all have to be respectful of each other and wearing a mask right now shows the ultimate respect. We want to thank you for wearing your mask in the Boutique. We appreciate it very much.

Now let me get off my soapbox and talk about the new arrivals. This week we are all about Double Zero Brand tops. We have crew neck sweaters in many wonderful colors for Fall. We have some t-shirts, because they never go out of style. The new jackets are super stylish and I have my eyes on one in particular. Can you guess which one? We have some Gilli jumpsuits and dressy joggers and tops along with a cozy jogger set by Cherish that will surely interest you. Remember, we only get a couple of size runs for each piece, so not that we want you to feel anxious or anything, but …..well. You get the picture, as soon as this goes out to the masses we get a rush in the store to get the goods. Now, is also the time to get those Nature jeans in dark or grey wash because we have a full size run. We have so many great tops right now, in all the Fall colors, just like the leaves turning outside. Splendid Iris Jewelry is back and fully stocked with fun earrings and necklaces of many styles. Come on in and see for yourself, because I am truly out of breath with all that’s new at Meadow Boutique!

We love that we are able to get new things in the Boutique every week for our customers. We love everything about the shopping experience we provide for you at Meadow Boutique. We feel so comfortable with all of you trying on our merchandise and showing us how things fit and what you like about it and what you don’t. It really helps us because we all are different body types. Shelley takes a lot of time choosing all the right pieces and she thinks of people specifically when she orders and how things would look on different customers. It is truly an art to know that about your customers like she does. In December, it will be 11 years since Shelley opened Meadow Boutique’s doors. The only time she has had to close somewhat, was due to Covid and you supported us through that and because of you our doors are still open. Because of you! It’s always been because of you and all your support that makes Meadow Boutique what it is today! And to “top it off” nothing compares to our connection with all of you! Remember that, will you? We are looking forward to seeing your smiling eyes very soon. Much love to you all!

Sweaters Calling Your Name

While you have been getting your kiddos plugged into school this week, we have been patiently waiting for our order to come. With the fires raging up and down the west coast and the Labor Day holiday, well, lets just say we got skipped on the UPS route this week. It’s ironic that our candle order came in and our Fall wear is out there somewhere in a lonely post office on the other side of the country. That’s OK - the few things that did come in are sure to remind you that Fall is right around the corner even though we are having temperatures in the 80’s. Enjoy every minute of the sun and take in those last minute getaways on the weekends before we really have to think about the shorter days and cold months ahead.

We are going to keep this short and sweet this week. We are sure you have lots on your mind on how you will juggle what is left of this year. Never in our lifetimes did we think we would see or live though all that is happening in the world. One thing we do know, is that we are grateful for the many ways our lives have changed, as crazy as that sounds. It seems that there has been a silver lining in the most hardest of times. There is comfort in knowing that we are all in this together and at any given moment we understand what each other is going though.

At Meadow Boutique we want to lighten your load in any way we can, so don’t be afraid to let us! Retail therapy has always brought us back to life. Even if you are just trying on clothes and taking a day for yourself. We have your back and will continue to practice all safety precautions so you feel comfortable. We seem to be packing in the sweaters and warm and cozy clothing. There are sweaters here with your name on them. We are completely stocked with dark wash and grey wash Nature jeans. We also have a sale rack outside too with lots of Summer items that are worth having in your wardrobe at a nice discount. We have heard how older people are feeling a little lonely these days and they need some cheering up. We have something for them as well. Stop in and pick up something for that special senior in your life, like a candle or some soap or hand cream. We also have gift cards for that special teacher or girl friend in the neighborhood. Whatever you need, we have something that will fit your budget.

We are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Sunday 12-5 and Friday and Saturday 12-6. Thank you for ringing in this new season with us. We appreciate you and your business and we will continue to provide the best quality and service we possibly can. We look forward to seeing you soon! Enjoy the sunny days, and cool mornings and evenings. For these are the days of change…….and as far as we can tell , we are all handling the changes that have come our way pretty well…..considering, right? We should be proud of ourselves!

The Season of Change

With the leaves going from green to red and the winds changing from warm to cool, it is no wonder Autumn is considered the season of change. But it’s not just the environment that changes. Autumn heralds in a time of transition and invites us to embrace the energy of change. Of course, change can be uncomfortable and many of us may find ourselves desperately attempting to hide from this transitory season. But transition can also be exciting and beautiful if we meet it with acceptance rather than fear.  This is where “we are all in this together” comes into play! You are not alone so please reach out to others in the way you are comfortable and scream and jump up and down if you have to. Get out all that frustration of how things are and have been in 2020 that are not letting you move forward into this beautiful season. Then remember all the good things that have perpetuated through all of this. I know, somedays it is hard. We have all been there so let’s do whatever it takes to feel better, we all deserve that. Here’s a few ideas to take in and see if any of them can work for you.

1. Transition towards stillness - Autumn is about a quieter kind of transition. Now is the time to start slowing down and preparing for winter. Start creating more space in your schedule for you time. Plan a few less social outings. Designate specific time for quiet practices that will help you move inward. Things like meditation, journaling, or spending a few minutes at dawn just sitting in nature. 

2. Let the change come to you - It is important to consider how you approach change in autumn. It is a time for stepping back and letting the change come to you. Instead of seeking out opportunities, open the door, sit back, and let the change come to you. This change is going to be different than what you saw in spring; it will be less about embracing new and more about letting go of the old. Which brings us to the third way to make the most of autumn.

3. Practice the art of letting go - Autumn is the time to re-evaluate what things we are holding onto that we know longer need. It’s a time to shed the old habits and patterns that no longer serve us. It’s a time to release, relax, and make more space in our lives for those things that matter most.

4. Stay grounded in your roots - Turn to the ones who love you unconditionally; find safe spaces where you can relax and be with your thoughts; dedicate time explicitly for self-care. The more grounded you feel in yourself and your community, the easier it will be to let go of that which is no longer serving you.

5. Seek out things that nourish - Eat warming, nourishing foods. Take baths, cuddle with a blanket, re-read your favorite book, spend time with your loved ones, or go for a hike on a tree-filled path. Whatever nourishes you, gravitate toward that. 

6. Shop at Meadow - We have everything you need to transition into Autumn. The sweaters, jogger sets in two colors, worded t-shirts, cardigans, sweet hooded jackets, fleeced flannels, cozy sweatshirts and always our jeans - all those warming up pieces are coming in fast and furious and you don’t want to miss a thing. We are a kind and caring staff and we will help you find whatever you need. We will listen to your ups and downs and trial and triumphs. We aren’t just a little boutique on the corner of 6th and Crockett, we are your community and we care. Always have and always will. To us you are like family! You give us great joy seeing you with your fun masks and your kind eyes. You have been there for us through thick and thin and it is our pleasure to do the same for you!

September is first month in this new season of change and we are excited about all it’s possibilities. We look forward to seeing you this weekend of course. Enjoy it all as the days get shorter and the beautiful sun shines and all the leaves start to change color. Meadow Boutique has everything you need for Autumn. We will be waiting for you!

Stocking Up For Fall

That’s right….it’s time. Fall is right around the corner so no need to wait to grab clothing that will transition you right into the cooler weather. I am always in awe of our beautiful late Summer and early Fall weather. The Northwest is a great place to be during this time. We live in a climate that we can layer up and then remove pieces as needed. That certainly makes for very interesting outfits around town. I don’t know about you, but we are ready….so bring on the Fall colors and comfy clothes since we are mostly working from home. We know that many of you want to get in the groove of getting dressed and looking nice, even if you are not leaving the house. There’s all those Zoom Meetings you have to attend and happy hours and kids play dates, and the list goes on. We don’t want you to miss a beat.

This week it’s all about sweaters and jogger sets and jeans and jumpsuits and bralettes. Sounds like a good combo right? We are just easing you in slowly because there is so much more on the way. Make your list, check it twice. What pieces do you need to add to your wardrobe? You will not break the bank at Meadow Boutique, so find pieces that you love and go for it. It’s time to get comfy cozy and warm. It will feel like Summer one day and then it will cool off into Fall so you want to be ready!

We want to invite you in to have a look and help you find something you can’t live without. Maybe there is a color you are unsure of or style you don’t think will suit you. We are full of honesty, only if you ask us of course. It’s fun to see the new pieces come in and then see how they look on our customers. All bodies types are different so it helps us a lot to see fashion on you as you would wear it! Fun, Fun, so much fun at Meadow Boutique. Our favorite saying is, “If you don’t love it, don’t buy it! There is no pressure here from us.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer! We will look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks. We appreciate your business and how you have supported us through these difficult times. We are happy we are still here and able to serve you. You make it all worth it! Every single day. Much love to you and your family!

Seasons In Between

We seem to all be enjoying these beautiful days we have been given in August. The weather has been so incredible, that it’s is hard to believe that Fall is right around the corner. But it is, and I need some new Fall clothes, what about you?

With all that’s happening in the world we want some kind of normalcy. This is the time of year we usually go school shopping for the kids and refresh our own wardrobes with new Autumn hues. We love that feeling of soft sweaters, cozy joggers and lightweight jackets. Sitting by a fire with hot cocoa and marshmallows comes to mind. OK OK, I am getting ahead of myself but I must remind you of the fact that Meadow Boutique is slowly receiving it’s Fall fashion, the in-between pieces that will get you from August to September in price and style! Our lives have become a bit more casual since we are working from home, playing from home and schooling from home. With that in mind, we still need to get up and get going with our lives and while we are at it, we should look amazing too!

Our new arrivals this week will surely spark your interest and inspire you to give your wardrobe a refresh! Light textured sweaters in 3 colors, lovely soft sweaters; some basic, some with dolman sleeves, and a light weight jacket that shows up in a deep green and rust color! Then to make things real cozy, we have some jogger separates and tops that would interchange quite nicely with each other. My favorite this week is the animal print slip-ons. Oh my, they will definitely make an entrance with any outfit you decide to wear with them. We have all washes of the Nature jeans that will add to any fall sweater or top. We even have masks that are constantly replenished so you can match them up with whatever you are wearing. To sum it up, I would say we have some pretty fashion forward transitional pieces that you are going to love! Stop by and see for yourself.

Just to keep things real - our hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday - 12-5 and Friday & Saturday 12-6. We are closed on Mondays. We will be sure to let you know if that changes. Seven people are allowed in the shop at one time. You may try clothes on because we are constantly steaming the ones you don’t want. We wear masks in the boutique and ask that all that enter wear one too. And last but not least, there is hand sanitizer everywhere for your convenience. It is important to us that you feel safe and we feel safe too! Thank you for coming in and shopping with us. It has been a joy to see you all resurfacing again. We appreciate the adjustments you have made when shopping with us! It certainly means more than you know. Somehow we knew we could count on you to make the transition we all have to adhere by ….well, flawless! We look forward to seeing you soon and helping you find something you can’t live without.

A Little Bit of Everything

That’s right - you heard me right! The new arrivals this week are a “little bit of everything.” The pieces that arrived can still be your Summer attire and then some will transition you into Fall. I said it, yes, Fall. It seems like it was just Spring not long ago. It’s the time of year when kids start thinking about going back to school and getting all the items they will need for a successful school year. It’s different this year with kids learning online, but school clothes are still in order. So while you are buying those new clothes for your kids, remember you could possibly be their teacher, so you want to look your best as well.

In quarantine, the self-expression of clothing has been somewhat lost to the monotony of sweatpants and T-shirts. Without being able to go out, with no one to impress and no reason to get dressed up, people who view clothing as a form of their personal identity have struggled with the reality of quarantine. For some, clothing also helps people to transition from work to exercise to leisure, and without having to get dressed up for different parts of the day, time begins to bleed together. It seems like some clothing companies understand the psychology at play here. I’ve been getting promotional emails from clothing stores telling me to “treat myself” and from Target advertising its “mood-boosting” graphic T-shirts.

If there’s one item to come out of COVID-19 and define the aesthetic around the world, it’s the face mask. With the CDC currently recommending that people wear cloth facial coverings in public settings, it's likely to become the most ubiquitous item, next to sweats and leggings. We are selling face masks so fast at Meadow Boutique and we have to admit we all looking for a mask to match each of our outfits we are sporting each day.

So there will be a time when this passes and we can get dressed up again for different occasions. Here’s to dressing up, enjoying feel-good trends like eco-friendly fabrics and calming colors, and wearing clothes that define our individual aesthetic once again. We say everyday is an occasion. You are alive. You have your family and friends. You have your pets in which to snuggle. You have a home to live and love in and healthy food to eat. Hopefully, most of you still have a job and are making the proper adjustments to look at work in a new way that creates more time for you and your family!

OK… OK… so here’s what we have this week: We have sensational jumpsuits, casual dresses, Fall colored pants, lightweight sweaters, jogger sets, joggers separates, fun tops, dark wash denim in our Nature jeans, floral kimonos. I am out of breath! Dress yourself, make yourself feel good about being alive and here for each other - we are all in this together! Can’t wait to see you and hear what pieces you like best. That’s the fun part for us at Meadow; seeing you look at your beautiful image in the mirror in one of the outfits we have to offer….that warms our hearts, really, more than you know. We look forward to seeing you this weekend and trying on some of our new arrivals.!

August Is Here - New Arrivals & A Special Event

It’s August already. It’s hard to believe, really. Our brain seems to want to go back to March, April and May and try to figure out how this year has gone by so fast. Now we slowly start cooling off a bit and needing a little extra cover-up. Of course we have new pieces this week that we are sure you will want to add to your wardrobe. With rompers still in the mix and some short light & corduroy jackets, bird & cat sweatshirts and a really colorful bohemian, funky dress, there is something for everyone. We also have a couple of tops - floral and also a very unique top that pictures the different stages of the moon, a staple that will surely pair with your favorite jeans or jacket.

Meadow Boutique is full of surprises this weekend! On Saturday we have a special treat for you. From 12-4, we will have a special pop-up shop with handcrafted jewelry by Leah Pastrana. You don’t want to miss this event. This jewelry will be a favorite for you when you see Leah’s style.

Leah Pastrana is a Seattle Native, Mexican and Irish blood and a UW graduate. Her work has a modern focus using multiple geometric shapes as well as mixing gold and silver metals in her pieces. Her most recent work blends raw brass components using African glass and tribal beads. She also has started a line of repurposed leather and faux leather earrings.

Each piece that she creates is a wearable piece of art. Leah loves geometric shapes and mixed metals. She uses raw brass, sterling silver and gemstones. Her goal has always been to create affordable handmade jewelry. Leah’s jewelry is modern, minimalist with an edge.

“Creating jewelry started as an outlet for my need to express my feelings about the world and my experiences in it. I am inspired by vibrant colors, travel, songs, movies and people. Each person that I have met in my life has a story. Whether positive or negative I learn and grow from each story. I am blessed.”

To view Leah’s wearable art, check out her website - https://leahpastrana.com

So what are you waiting for? Head over to Meadow Boutique to see us. We look forward to spending time with you as always. Thank you for making our Summer feel special. It’s nice to see everyone excited about shopping again. We can’t tell you how happy we are to accommodate your fashion needs! See you soon, dear friends.

Cool Off at Meadow

Is it hot enough for you? We certainly aren’t complaining about the heat or the sun as we get it so few days here in Seattle. In the middle of Summer, we have those sweltering days we aren’t use to, that leads us searching for somewhere to hang out that is cool. Or at least find something to wear that keeps the sweat at bay. When the sun shines here, there is nothing more beautiful than our blue skies with the green trees as a backdrop. It truly takes our breath away.

July is coming to a close, so you know what that means? We have to soak it all in before it is over in a month or so. At Meadow we certainly have something that will look amazing on you. We have fashion that will keep you cool and relaxed. Picture this: you sitting in the back yard, with a lovely refreshing drink of your choice in hand, feet propped up on your favorite lounger, kids on their best behavior, significant other by your side, food being delivered, and you, well your dressed in one of our new rompers, cool as a cucumber. We can see you now. Awwww, pinch me, am I dreaming?

And that’s what we have this week - light weight rompers, some flowy ribbed pants, basic paper bag pants, and a stylish gingham dress you can wear with a belt or let it hang loose. We do have some fun belts this week too. Don’t forget about the past weeks as well with the skirts and sweatshirts, we still have a few pieces left. It’s never too late to browse through this blog and see if there are some pieces you might like to ask us about. Sometimes there is just one left waiting for you! If anything, come in for a mask. We have plenty of colors and materials you will love. We will be carrying them as long as they are needed.

We know a cool shop here in Queen Anne that cares about its customers and looks forward to seeing them every single time they venture in. Yes, it’s true, and there’s a boutique that is incredibly grateful for your support no matter what is happening in the world. No kidding, a store like this is here in your community and they really make an effort to find the best prices and fashion forward clothing for all ages of their customers. You know this boutique very well, Meadow Boutique, I dare say, is here for you every step of the way. So thank you. Thank you for your kind words and deeds through all of these times we now call normal.

Tell Me Something Good

Today when I was checking out at Trader Joes, the cashier asked me how my day was going, the typical friendly greeting. Then he said, “With everything going on in the world, tell me something good, something that makes you grateful?” I have to say it caught me off guard at first, but then I thought why not focus on the positive. I didn’t stop to think about it, I just said what first came to my mind. “I am grateful that I am healthy and I haven’t gotten sick during this pandemic,” I said.

Seriously, things could be so much worse for all of us. If we can just jot down 5 things we are grateful for every morning, imagine how our day would turn out. I have done exactly that for a while now, so before I get out of bed, I count my blessings and go through my check list of what I am grateful for. It has made a huge difference in my outlook considering all that is happening in our world, our state, our city and our communities. It doesn’t have to be big things, it can be little things like seeing flowers blooming outside your window, smelling the coffee brewing in the morning, hearing your children laughing, or getting a call from a friend just to see how you are doing.

All of those small things add up to big things putting one big beautiful smile on that face of yours. It’s hard to see smiles right now, but our eyes tell it all. We have seen your smiling eyes walk through the doors of Meadow Boutique and I have to say we feel so grateful! It’s the little things you all do to make us feel good. It feels like old friends getting together when you are shopping with us and chatting it up. There is noting better right now than the exchange of human connection. So next time you come in - tell us something good that’s going on with you. We are interested, believe me.

This week, like every week, Shelley makes a point to always insure that fashion is forever changing in the boutique, with all our new arrivals. This week we have a few Gilli jumpsuits, a couple of delightful oh so detailed skirts, shirt type dresses that cinch up on the side for a little added interest, a variety of sweatshirts for those cool evenings when you are venturing out in nature or on the water, and last but not least, some super cute espadrille sandals. Love, love, love everything. One of each please! No kidding, there is something for every body! Come on in and see for yourself. As soon as this goes out to the masses, there is a mad dash to shop right from the blog post.

As always, we wish you an amazing weekend and week ahead for you and your loved ones. We look forward to seeing you soon at Meadow Boutique!

Meadow Boutique Love

About 3 years ago I stumbled upon Meadow Boutique by accident. I had visited the shops on Queen Anne Avenue when I moved back to Seattle, but the prices were a bit high for me. My hairdresser at the time, across the street from the boutique, told me to go in and have a look. Well, needless to say, I became a regular customer like all of you. I found myself going in weekly to see what was new. I had never been to a small shop that stocked new pieces every week. I was in heaven. Every time I went into Meadow, I always found something I wanted to buy. To top it all off, Shelley, Francine and Lindsay were the nicest people ever and so helpful. Coming from a Nordstrom background that exemplifies customer service, I was in awe with the way they treated their customers. It’s nice to be told the truth about something you are trying on and if it looks OK. I appreciate that and I know you do too!

One day, as all the stars aligned, I had heard that maybe there was going to be an opening for a sales associate. I thought long and hard about what I could contribute to Meadow. I told Shelley I would love to work there. The rest is history. I have been at Meadow Boutique for almost a year and I still love going there and helping all of you. I love writing for this blog and taking photos so you can see what’s new every week. It really gets my creative juices flowing and gets me excited about the new arrivals.

The reason I tell this story is because I truly believe we all have a story about Meadow. I also know we have time these days to think about our lives and what we are grateful for. Customers come in everyday telling me how comfortable they are being in the store with all of our social distancing and mask wearing. You rave about the styles and the prices. Some of the funnest times at Meadow are when women find the perfect jeans when they haven’t worn jeans in years. Not only are you buying one pair, you are buying three!

This week is no different with great fashion. We have some fab new summer dresses, stylish tank tops, bell bottom sailor pants, faded distressed Nature jeans and restocked by popular demand are the Nature dark wash button fly denim, some stylish Risen jeans and last but not least, some new pleated masks for kids and adults and hand sanitizer. Come on in and grab what you need while you can. Seems like everyone wants to go shopping these days after spending so much time indoors. It can be a shopping frenzy at Meadow Boutique some days! We love seeing you for sure, so don’t hesitate to stop by!

I just want to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you and support Shelley and her amazing boutique. We mean it when we say we appreciate you. We mean it when we say we couldn’t do this without you. Thank you so much for allowing us to participate in your wardrobe needs. There is nothing we would rather do to help you! We wish you all a safe and healthy July and look forward to seeing you in the days ahead.

Summer Dreams

Our dreams of getting back to what we called real life have possibly changed. You can't go out like before, meet or hug people, or travel. On top of it, the virus epidemic is making people have weird dreams. No, we aren't kidding. That being said, here are the most common dreams people across the globe are currently experiencing.

1. Going back to your childhood/comfort place - When people dream about going back to the one place that soothes them or makes them feel safe, i.e., gives them "comfort."

2. Dreams about gatherings - Perhaps the most common and the most relatable ones, a lot of people, having been placed in lockdown are edging to go out, meet friends or indulge in activities we so freely did in the past without a care. 

3. Dreams of missing your favorite food or snack - The pandemic had led to the sale and supply of only essential survival products right now. Naturally, that means some of your favorite comfort foods, or what you would be usually eating from your favorite restaurants might not be available.

4. Dreams of shopping and buying things for ourselves - We have felt that we will never be able to get new clothing, try things on or pick up items at the store without jeopardizing our health. What stores/shops can we go to and feel comfortable and safe?

Meadow Boutique has taken all the precautions to keep you safe. All customers MUST wear masks to shop with us. We have hand sanitizer throughout the store for your own personal use. We have signs posted to remind everyone of social distancing. We steam all items that have been tried on before we return them to the racks. You are safe in our hands, we promise!

This week at Meadow Boutique, we have the perfect joggers in 3 colors for that everyday, casual wear. Articles of Society have whipped up so very flattering tank tops to pair with those joggers. We have 2 kinds of shorts you will be enticed to try on. These are the last shorts we will obtain in for the season, so come in and grab a pair now. There are two kinds of lightweight kimonos with beautiful flower patterns, so light and airy for the Summer. We have some trucker hats that have gone to a whole new level. I love them. They are a test for us, so if you love them as much as we do - let us know so we can order more of these gems. The patterns on them are pretty trendy and will be fun to wear. Masks seem to be part of our reality these days and we have more of them as well. They keep getting more fun with many lovely designs. Pick one up to match your favorite outfit.

Rest assured that your dreams can come true at Meadow and life can feel comfortable again. Shopping with us is safe and connecting with our staff is delightful! We look forward to seeing you very soon. Sweet dreams!

Weekend Fun in the Sun

The sun will shine this weekend. After all, the day after the 4th of July, Summer suddenly shows up. Just like it has been here all along. We Seattleites have more appreciation for sun than most people. In fact, I read that people in Seattle buy the most sunglasses per capita. I thought that sounded odd until I realized how I will buy a pair when the sun comes out for real, then put them somewhere when the sun disappears, and not remember where I put them, and buy another pair when the sun returns. It all adds up now, right? I am certain that most of us have numerous pairs of sunglasses for this reason. Speaking of sunglasses, we have many different colors and styles at Meadow Boutique for only $12. So if you lose them, it won’t be that big of a deal to grab another pair. One thing I do know, is that when it is sunny here, it is sure hard to beat the beauty that surrounds us in Washington! We hope the sun shines brightly on all your festivities this weekend!

Let’s cool off……This week we have more striped and solid colored tanks. We can never have enough tanks to add to our wardrobe. One in every color makes life much more interesting. The cut is asymmetrical and so stylish. Pair them with shorts or jeans or even dare to add a bralette to your outfit to give it that little extra something. We have some very cute bralettes this week with interesting styles of lace trim in different fabrics that you will love. We’ve added a couple of dresses in a solid and print that are truly a game changer. The tops that came in this week are very bohemian. The backs of them are open with a little tie or a criss-cross, one with bell sleeves, oh my, oh my, so darn lovely. There’s some totes as well, that will help you carry your goods from place to place. With a whole new shipment of earrings, it will be easy to doll up any outfit you put together this weekend! This is the weekend of fun in the sun!

If you need to take a hostess or friend a little gift, we have some great artistic vases, flowered zipper pouches from designer Dana Herbert, soap dishes and Amy Heitman notepads. It’s a nice way of saying thank you to that special person for celebrating with you this weekend. Do come in and check them out, the prices are great and the items will put a smile on any face that's hosting for the 4th of July.

We want to give you a friendly reminder, only cause we care about you, to wear your masks and keep on social distancing with those around you this weekend. It’s always good to be respectful of each other in this situation. You have been there for us, through thick and thin, and there are no words that could ever sum up what that means to us here at Meadow Boutique. We want to keep you around for a while, that’s for sure!

Our hours are Tuesday - Thursday 12-5, Friday and Saturday 12-6 and Sunday 12-5. Stop by if you are looking for something to wear this weekend, or just to say hello is good for us too! May you have a safe and joyful holiday. Thank you again for being the best customers ever!

Red, White, Blue & You

We know the 4th of July is right around the corner. This year, the summer season begins on June 21st, but for many Americans, summer doesn't feel quite like it has arrived until the fourth of July decorations come out around the neighborhood. Independence Day is a day of family celebrations with picnics and barbecues, showing a great deal of emphasis on the American tradition of political freedom. Activities associated with the day include watermelon or hotdog eating competitions and sporting events, such as baseball games, three-legged races, swimming activities and tug-of-war games. So many things we can do together on this day to show our patriotism and have a little fun while we are at it! We hope you and your family enjoy next weekend together with whatever you have planned. Happy Red, White and Blue!

Speaking of patriotism……This week we have a few tops with stars in red or blue. So cute and so subtle. They will go with your favorite pair of shorts or jeans or even a fun little skirt. These comfy tops are great way to show your independence! We also received a large color palette of v-neck tank tops. And for all you Dreamers fans, we have 4 new colors in for those cooler nights in the backyard or some sweatshirts that remind us of sherbet colors, if you happen to be out camping in beautiful Washington State. It’s always nice to throw a sweatshirt in the mix if you are feeling a chill on one of those starry nights. I love the red and white polka dot romper we got in this week - oh so fun and flirty! There’s also a long dress with straps or not - just in case you want to tan those shoulders. We are sure that there’s something here for you at Meadow Boutique that you can’t live without for this 4th of July holiday!

We are open Tuesday thru Thursday from 12-5 and Friday and Saturday from 12-6, Sunday 12-5. Our hours are changing a little bit so please make a note. We will get back to our regular hours as soon as we are able!

Thank you for wearing your masks and being considerate of our capacity of 7 at a time in the boutique. We appreciate you helping us make it easier for everyone to shop and see each other and have a good time with all our new arrivals. There is nothing better than to see your smiling eyes when you find that perfect top or jeans, or even a new mask. We are so happy to be back in the swing of things. Thank you for your support and being our lovely customers. We are the luckiest people ever! We hope to see you soon and look forward to serving you for the upcoming holiday!

Summer is Here!

June 20th comes, and Summer is here, just like that. This year has gone very fast even though our pace has slowed down. The festivals, summer camps and fireworks displays have all changed direction and some things cancelled. So what will Summer look like for you this year? It certainly will different than previous years. One thing we know we will do this weekend is honor our dear old dads, make sure they know they are loved. We will find ways to celebrate with them in whatever way we see fit. We extend good wishes to all the dads out there that have made us who we are with their love and guidance. Father’s Day is a great day to dress up and show your dad how much you care!

An evening outdoor barbecue is a good way to start off the summer. We have stylish pieces that will entice you to be outside every chance you get. We have you covered with our amazing new arrivals. Think about all the times we love to just throw on a jumpsuit and head out the door. We have some pretty cute ensembles for the Summer weather heading our way. Meadow has some dresses that will take you back in time and some kimonos to throw over those shorts and tops when the day comes to an end and the nights feel cooler. Remember clogs? Well, we have those too - but in an updated 2020 kind of way. The colors are so neutral they will pair with anything in the Boutique this week. Just know that the sizes are limited, so if you want them, get in and grab them up. You will totally love what we have to offer, I promise you. Oh and one more thing, our prices are beyond belief. You can come on in and stock up for Summer without breaking the bank.

Thank you for being so kind as to follow our restrictions that we have in place so we can be open to the public. We have more masks to chose from as well. Sometimes it’s hard to not let everyone in at once, but you all have been very respectful and patient if you have to stand outside for a minute. Thank you for that. It has been so fun to catch up with you all again in between the mask arranging and the hand sanitizer. “We Are All In This Together” and we couldn’t think of any better people we would rather be with!

Meadow Boutique is happy to be open and see your smiling eyes. See you soon my friends - Our hours are Tuesday -Sunday from 12-5!

Always have fun with Fashion, dress to entertain yourself. ~ Betsy Johnson
