Fall Sneaks In At Meadow Boutique

August 6, 2021 Shelley Hall

Those cozy pieces are coming in and it’s really not too early to think about those warmer clothes. I agree, with this great weather, it’s hard to think about. I am with you! Just know that in the weeks to come, there will be more Fall Fashion to choose from. When you are ready, there will be lots here for the taking, so don’t hesitate to stop by. Don’t wait too long, as we have had young people already shopping for school clothes. We have something for every age group, I have seen it with my own eyes. My daughter was just here visiting from Taos, New Mexico and she decided to come in and check out Meadow Boutique. (I told her we had amazing clothes) She is 35 and quite picky about her clothes. She shopped in a lot of stores while she was in Seattle and barely liked anything. I figured she might at least find a shirt she might like. To my surprise she tried on 5 different pieces and liked everything. I was shocked to say the least, but knowing our clientele and the ages that shop here, I knew it was possible. I happily decided to buy them all for her Birthday in September. I can honestly say that our fashion at Meadow Boutique can make women from the ages of 18 to 92 happy……..and satisfied with their purchases.

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

GILLI brings us more fun fashion. A lovely mustard colored jumpsuit and a couple of interesting tees with a knotted bottom. Soooo cute and soft as a baby’s, well you know - yes, the fabric is that soft!

HAYDEN is all in black this week with a black dress, black skirt and black boho top.

MISS LOVE has some trendy tops in an oversize corduroy and hoodie sweater.

STACCATO is back in full force with a stripe sweater and animal print top in those lovely Fall colors.

HYFVE is leaning toward black as well. No complaints here! There is a lovely grey and a black textured sweater and a black silky blouse.

KAN KAN Denim has a really stylish grey bootcut, button front, denim and a distressed black skinny, button front denim as well.

NATURE Denim finally has some styles that came in - only a few but worth a look in grey, black and dark denim. We can’t help but still love our skinny jeans, right?

CHENOHA STUDIO (new to us) is vegetable and bohemian chic jewelry handcrafted in France, from scraps of leather from recyclers with a zero waste perspective. The paper and cardboard packaging is also made by hand with a maximum of recycled materials. The jewels are mounted with brass findings gilded with 24 carat fine gold, guaranteed free of nickel, lead and cadmium. The brand draws inspiration from floral, plant and animal motifs to offer you collections that are renewed throughout the year.

We hope that you have been having heaps of fun this Summer! Like I said, the weather, well, is amazing. Seattle’s weather has gotten better each year and I have lived here on and off for a long time! I always look forward to September too, it’s one of my favorite months. The leaves start changing and we still have this wonderful weather. We don’t know about you, but we love the fashion for Fall. Soft cozy sweaters, scarves, jackets, lots of layering. Makes us think of a campfire with hot cocoa surrounded by our friends or family.

Let’s keep on being safe so we can enjoy the next seasons that are just around corner. We are so excited for you to see all of our new Fall fashion. We are releasing them to the racks little by little, so keep on coming in and checking out all of our new arrivals. We know you won’t be disappointed. But before the new season begins, please enjoy every minute left, of this fabulous Summer. There’s still a lot of fashion to be had for right now! Thank you for being such loyal customers. We are so grateful for you and all the time we have been in this together. To us, it’s truly a beautiful thing! xoxoxoxoxo

Goodbye July

July 30, 2021 Shelley Hall

It’s the end of July and now we are going into the month of August. The weather has been truly amazing. We live for these kind of temperatures and we are lucky to have water near us in our great city. So many people are traveling and taking weekend trips to the beach, to Hawaii, on a cruise or even a road trip. We are like kids in a candy store when it comes to travel! My husband and I were just in Leavenworth for a night this past weekend. After an awesome hotdog at our favorite spot and a walkabout town, we retreated to the river for the afternoon because it was a stifling 98 degrees. We were reminded how enjoyable it is to be out in nature and breathing in the beauty of the river. We agreed we could sit and listen to it forever. We decided that in these times, it’s important to take nothing for granted. Life is truly that precious.

I am having so much fun with all my new Summer clothes. Meadow Boutique has more Summer clothes trickling in due to supply and demand deliveries. We still have all of August, and really September to wear all of our Summer dresses, shorts and rompers. And don’t forget about the new wide leg jeans you have purchased. Oh la la!

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique?

GILLI is continuing to come in from backorder and not a moment too soon. We are still all looking for some interesting pieces for Summer. Some more dresses and rompers are on the racks.

LA MIEL brings in some fun gauze tops and a polka dot kimono.

KAN KAN denim high waisted, wide leg jeans are really stylish with a denim belt as well.

And trickling in is a CRESCENT blue dress with bell sleeves, A BY THE RIVER off white cardigan, a BLU PEPPER Summer dress in some lovely rust and brown hues, PAPER MOON olive dress is also on the racks, plain and simple, E&M sports a red-orange top with some nice detail on the sleeves and neckline.

We hope you all are doing well and keeping safe. It seems we aren’t quite out of the woods yet. Masks are not quite a thing of the past as we had hoped. Don’t burn them yet. At Meadow Boutique we will do whatever we are told to do for our community. You can count on that. It is of our utmost importance that you are safe in our boutique and in our presence. We adore you and are so happy you have been shopping with us for your Summer attire. Thank you! Much love to you and your families during this amazing Summer. xoxoxox

Some Some Summertime

July 23, 2021 Shelley Hall

The sweet fashions of Summer keep rolling in. It’s time to enjoy those Summer clothes after a year off of sweats and t-shirts. Jeans seem to be a must have these days with skinny legs going out and wide legs coming in. We have so many styles to try right now. The sky is the limit. That’s the beauty of wide legged jeans - you think they aren’t for you until you try them on and see. High waisted, wide legged jeans are slowly growing on me. I wasn’t sure they would until I started trying them myself. It’s definitely an adjustment and the skinny legs will not entirely vanish off the face of the earth. Make a point of coming in to try on a few pairs and if you find a style you like, rest assured you won't be paying more than $64. You heard me right. There’s no point spending more than that on a new trend.

Let’s get right to it! What’s new this week?

MINE, provides chic, affordable apparel of uncompromising quality. Constantly evolving to maintain its place as a fashion leader in the budget market, Mine has grown to cover almost all categories – from woven tops and knit tops, dresses, jackets, outerwear, bottoms, denim and more. Their dresses and tops have taken the cake this week. Lot’s of detail in lace and oh so chic!

GILLI, our mainstay rocks our world again with Summer tanks, tops and a romper. You can never go wrong with a GILLI piece.

EMMA’S CLOSET provides great styles with amazing prices. They have more tanks and tees to add to your wardrobe.

Hope you are having a wonderful Summer. We have noticed the crowds are out in full force. The traffic is back, the restaurants are open, albeit dining with reservations only, life is returning as we once knew it. Let’s not forget what we learned during that time and just how precious life is for all of us. We are happy we can see all your faces once again. Most of you are genuinely happy and smiling. You are looking forward to an upcoming trip and are looking for something to wear. We have everything you need at Meadow Boutique. Please come by and see for yourself. Our hearts and door are open for your shopping pleasure. We look forward to seeing you soon. xoxoxoxo

More To Love

July 16, 2021 Shelley Hall

The Summer attire just keeps rolling in. Have you noticed how long it takes to receive things these days? It seems like UPS and FedEx has forgotten us some weeks as we wait patiently for our deliveries. Now that everything has opened up, apparently there is not enough help to expedite the tasks at hand. The word on the street is that there’s lots of work out there, people are applying, but they aren’t showing up for an interview. OK, so on that note, we have many items that are on backorder and are now slowly dwindling in. Summer pieces may be taking longer than we expected. Never fear though, we already have Fall fashion back stocked as well. In Seattle, Summer is really just beginning because we have beautiful sunny days right into the month of September. As you know, Meadow Boutique has everything you need to beat the heat and look marvelous while you are doing it!

This week we have a little of this and a little of that.

We have some cute hats by KIMBERLY C, that are cow-girlish in 3 different shades. And some other hats that are like taking a vacation at Cape Cod, with big brims and bows. Nice little add-ons to a perfect Summer outfit.

DOUBLE ZERO continues to bring in many styles of t-shirts from tanks to crop tops.

HEART & HIP has some sweet little tiered short dresses in black and sea foam color with a short tank as well.

CHRIS & CAROL has a red maxi dress that hugs every curve beautifully. It’s soft and red, yes red, don’t be afraid of red! It’s stunning! Also a knot front top with polka dots, that is oh so very versatile.

MITTO SHOP brings a denim romper and soft green tee. Both are a great addition to your Summer wardrobe.

There are some tag-a-long pieces from SUMMER 10 and KORI. Come on in and see what might be of interest to you. Sometimes we get backordered pieces after we do the blog. There is always something new to see and try on at Meadow Boutique.

We are keeping it short and sweet this week so you can get outside and enjoy that beautiful Seattle weather! The days seem to be flying by, so don’t miss your opportunity to get what you need for those hot Summer days. We love seeing you and chatting about what’s happening in your everyday lives. We appreciate you all so much and are happy you have chosen us to shop with this Summer and all the other seasons ahead. Even if you are window shopping and checking us out through the windows, thanks for that too! We know sometime you will take a chance on us and come in. We are sure you will be very surprised by our prices and our versatility of the clothing we stock. We hope you all are enjoying your Summer and we look forward to seeing you soon. xoxoxo

Weekend Finds at Meadow

July 9, 2021 Shelley Hall

How is everyone doing? Can you believe this beautiful weather we are having? I was recently in eastern Washington for the 4th of July, and it was so hot. Coming back to Seattle with the temperatures in the upper 70’s was certainly a reprieve! I have already forgotten how hot it was last week. I heard all of the hotels in Seattle were booked for 3 days because of the lack of air-conditioning in homes. My mom’s place was built in the 70’s, and at that time Seattle didn’t need air conditioning, so her house was stifling hot. We managed to give her our portable air conditioner to cool things off. Phew! We hope you and your loved ones were able to find a nice, cool place during those really hot days. Thank goodness we don’t get many days like that very often, right? If I wanted to be that hot I would live in Arizona…….not!

It really has been wonderful to see all of coming into Meadow with excitement. Some of you are just ready to buy new things, go on trips, live without the mask. It’s like our customers have a whole new lease on life. It feels so good to see your lovely faces, smiling, yes, smiling and happy. And oh, those lipstick colors you are wearing, you have really ventured out! It’s the little things we often took for granted, and now, well, we have rearranged our priorities. The things we thought were little things in life are big and the things we thought were a big deal, are not so much to worry about anymore. It’s really amazing to see how this pandemic has changed our perspective on our own lives. We have a new “norm” and that’s OK. We are all in this together, right, we have recited this phrase for the past 18 months and it still feels good to say it and to know it!

What’s new this week? More fashion so you can stay cool this Summer!

COMUNE brings in tank and t-shirts that you can pair with your shorts or cut-offs or jeans.

MONO B sports some work-out clothing that you can sweat it out and then go to the grocery if you want and still look good.

GILLI of course comes through again with a couple of rompers and another sweet jumpsuit! Flattering for sure, everything GILLI designs!

DAVI & DANI has a couple of super fun tops. One ties i n front and the other hangs lose and flows. Love them both.

IN LOOM with a hot pink dress and a lovely embroidered top. If you don’t have a hot pink something in your wardrobe, now is the time to get it! The top has embroidery on the front and back…divine!

ANEMONE has a variety of colors in sports bras and more intimate kinds with lace designs, depending on what the occasion might be. Oh-la-la

There’s some barrettes we have that are so much fun. I would certainly wear them and am planning on buying them. Fruits are in one of the sets and glittery daisies on the other. OMG so cute. You can find them in the little girl section but I say big girls can wear them too! You will see them on some of the photos. A steal at $5, are you kidding me? I will take one of each, please.

And there you have it - the amazing finds at Meadow Boutique. There is always something different here and we only get in 6 pieces of an item at a time. You can rest assured you want see a look-alike at a gathering, unless of course you have told your friends to buy the same thing you did. Needless to say, we have seen that happen!

Keep smiling and stay safe, we are all trying to do the right thing for each other. If you have been vaccinated, you do not have to wear a mask in Meadow Boutique. We want you to have the option. All of the staff have been vaccinated so you can feel at ease when you come in. As always it is your choice and we are happy to accommodate you in whatever way we can. Sending you lots of love and joy for this sunny season we call Summer! We hope to see you soon. xoxoxoxo

Our Independence Day

July 2, 2021 Shelley Hall

There are so many reasons that the word Independence rings true with us, especially this year. June 30, Seattle fully opened after a year and a half of the COVID pandemic and wearing masks to protect each other. In previous years, the Fourth of July meant its time for all manners of Seattle backyard barbecues, cooling dips at local swimming holes and of course, dazzling fireworks shows. This year we can watch fireworks outside the city limits and you can click here to see the list of where you can find these incredible fireworks displays if you so desire to venture out this holiday. It’s nice to be getting back to what real life was for us and to have a chance to celebrate our freedoms together. We survived - we are still here! Let Freedom Ring!

Another way we are able to show our independence is by shedding our masks. There will be places we certainly must keep wearing them, but if you are vaccinated, it's acceptable. Meadow Boutique is helping you initiate your independence by removing your mask with some delightful lip colors to enhance that beautiful smile we haven’t seen in a year and a half out in public. We can’t wait to see your smiling faces. Grab some lip color in amazing hues with lipgloss or lipstick and give us the biggest cheese you can possibly muster up!

What’s new this week?

We have, by popular demand, some more shorts by RISEN in a slate color and some denim cutoffs as well with a distressed look. We still have many Bermuda shorts by TEA & ROSE that are a longer length to the knee. We received some straight leg denim capris by RISEN and some crop denim by KAN KAN. The RISEN capris sold out in 2 days when we got them in a few weeks ago. They are not skinny, worth a try, just sayin.’ Both are quite stylish and flattering if you want to know the truth. I bought the RISEN denim first time they came in and L-O-V-E them.

We are very happy with the knotted tees and tanks from EMMA’S CLOSET. This is a new line for us and we are happy we tried them out. The colors are perfect for Summer into Fall and the fabrics are Lucious. Did I say Luscious. Yes, I did.

BE COOL has 2 light-weight short sweaters in a vibrant coral and royal blue. Perfect for throwing over the shoulders on a cool evening with any of your dresses or tanks. It’s nice we still get some cool evenings after we recovered from the 106 temps. We always need a denim shirt in our wardrobe. It is definitely a staple piece and we have more for your fashion pleasure.

KORI Dresses are on the top of my list. I bought the blue one from a past order and now there is an olive green with a different print. DIBS! Mine. The style is so flattering and it flows in the wind and the fabric keeps me cool as a cucumber. I can’t help myself. This label has come out with some really great dresses for the season.

GILLI has another 5 star dress - always lovely, always flattering. They just know how to make a woman look good, right? Everything from rompers, to jumpsuits to dresses, they are simply award winning for our customers. If you own GILLI pieces, you know exactly what I mean. This week we have a white boho top from GILLI as well. Check it!

EJ CLAY CO brought in some unique earrings with vivid colors and styles. You need to check them out. Earrings can really make an outfit pop! Emily Gallardo is the owner of EJ Clay Co. She is a wife/mother of a crazy toddler. Emily started this company in the middle of Covid and it helped distract her from the anxiety of the pandemic. From there, her passion took over and EJ Clay Co. formed!

PURE ANADA Natural Lip Products are the breaking out of your mask lip colors I spoke about earlier. They come in a variety of colors you will love and will enhance that gorgeous smile of yours we have been waiting to see. PURE ANADA is handcrafted in the Canadian prairies from fresh, wholesome ingredients. They love seeing the goodness of nature, incorporated into each of their products. Luxurious plant oils, nourishing butters and ethically mined minerals are combined to create products for you to enjoy.

And there you have it for this weeks new arrivals. There are always pieces coming in on a whim from a backorder, so you never know what your will find at Meadow Boutique. We are just thrilled that you are able to enter the boutique and smile without a mask if you feel comfortable. It’s a small thing that has kept half of your face hiding, and for good reason. It’s a really a big thing for us. Why? Because we love seeing your face, your smile, your eyes and all of you. We have missed you. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize people that have been our forever customers with only your eyes showing, so now we are ecstatic to see all of you! So come in, reveal yourself, and grab a lip color that shows your sparkling personality! We will show you ours too! xoxoxox

Summer Coolers

June 25, 2021 Shelley Hall

It’s here - it’s hot - it’s sunny! Summer. It is so beautiful in Seattle at this time of year. This week we have a little of this and that to add to your wardrobe for Summer. We hear it will be 100 degrees in the coming days. It will be hotter here than in Miami. OMG! Yikes! That is really hot for Seattle, so stop by and find some cool pieces at Meadow that won’t have you break into a sweat. Seriously, either dress cool or find some water nearby to dip those toes in to cool off. And by all means hydrate, have a jug of water with you at all times because with these high temperatures there is a dehydration danger…… we are just looking out for you! Our fans will be on high at the Boutique this weekend.

This week it’s more about cute tops from SUMMER 10,

With a jumpsuit from GILLI thrown in for good measure,

A very stylish LE LIS crop top and a body suit that will mix and match with your shorts, jeans or a skirt,

MISS LOVE has some wide leg frayed pants in an olive color with a boho dress,

Detailed tees from LA MIEL ,

NO SHRINKING VIOLET Earrings are pretty hip this week as well, worth a look …..

Here we are at the end of June already. It’s Summer! Can you believe it? We love seeing people getting out, planning trips and getting ready to shed their masks. We have chatted with lots of women this week that are planning to go somewhere fun and feel like they need to toss aside those comfy clothes with the hopes of wearing some fashionable jeans again. We love it and we are all feeling the need to break out and have normal gatherings again! We can get close to friends and family and engage in hugging each other again. Seems like we will never, ever take those moments we can have with each other for granted, ever again, right? We are so grateful to have each other through all of this. Somedays it feels like a bad dream, and other days the hope that exudes from us all is invigorating. We keep living, we keep loving, we keep hoping for all of us to find a new normal and resume to a life, albeit a new way of life. We wish you all to feel some sort of cool breeze in the days to come. Find your spot and go there. xoxoxoxox

Summer & Fathers. The Best!

June 18, 2021 Shelley Hall

Summer is here June 20th, and along with it, a pretty important day for all the Dads out there. You guessed it: We're talking about Father's Day. Although most sons and daughters don't need a specific date to celebrate the most important man in their life, every Dad in the country does get his special day on the calendar. With restrictions lifting in many states, you may be able to meet in person this year. But if you're not able to dine together, you should still celebrate!

There are so many different ways to celebrate your dad on Father's Day. Picking out the perfect Father's Day gift and writing a sweet message in his card may be a given, but it's also important to make sure that your dad's special day is full of activities that'll bring him even closer to the people he loves most: his kids. Really, if you were to ask him, quality time is the best gift you can give your Dad.

Stop by Meadow Boutique and pick up something nice to wear when you meet up with Dad for Father’s Day! You will be glad you did. If you haven’t seen your Dad in a while, it will feel good to break out of those casual work at home clothes and put on something lovely for him. You know, give Dad your best self and hugs are accepted.

This week we have a few items that might get you there!

GILLI comes through again with some cute wrap dresses and a jumpsuit. The garments that GILLI produces are so flattering to any shape body. We are always telling you to try on the jumpsuit because lots of times you are saying they don’t fit me right, or I am long waisted, yada, yada, yada. The dresses are so versatile. You can wear them with dressy sandals or your white tennis shoes, depending on your mood. A “Just Chill” tee is something new from GILLI, a perfect message for the Summer days ahead. Come check out the new GILLI pieces and give them a try, just so you know what we know about GILLI designs and fabrics.

DAVI & DANI have a really fun top with embroidery and a boho style dress with an open back. If the weather holds out, either one of these pieces could take on the day. Both pieces are oh so Summery!

LA MEIL has 2 pairs of lightweight pants in white and black. Wide leg and sassy, reminds of the days when I was young. Everything always comes back around with a little different twist. OH how I wish I had all my bell bottoms back…..

Tea & Rose (TNR) has what many of us have been waiting for - bermuda denim shorts. You heard me right, so fashionable! Super cute and stretchy too. These are a “must try” when you come in. They have a button fly and are a little distressed, you will like them!

And a few pieces more with HYFVE having a long tie dye t-shirt. This is a shirt of many colors and one you can wear as a swim suit cover-up, dress or even night shirt. So many ways to wear this. Love! MISS LOVE has one of the softest tank tops ever. Again, it can be worn from day to nighty night time. No kidding.

No matter what you do for Father’s Day this year, we all have to admit it feels so much better than last year. In 2021, we have hope for better days and from where we sit, things are looking pretty good for all of us. So strange how it feels we have come out of a deep sleep, with new discoveries about ourselves, new ways to live, laugh and love. We thank you for sharing your space and time with us, because we know many of you are just feeling comfortable enough to go into a store. Thank you for choosing Meadow Boutique as one of your first stops. We love seeing you, and soon, it sounds like we may see that beautiful face of yours without a mask. I think a bright lipstick might be in order. Kiss! Kiss! xoxoxoxo

Dressing Up For June

June 11, 2021 Shelley Hall

Before you know it, June 20th will be here and it will be the first day of Summer. We can’t wait to be warm again. It’s still a little cool out, but we are optimistic since we have seen a couple of 80 degree days out of no where. We love Seattle, but sometimes we wish it could just be a little warmer right now because we have so many fun things to wear. The past few weeks, Meadow has really outdone itself with all the fun fashions that have come through the door.

WOW just WOW! You should see all the great pieces we have this week. Well, you will in a minute when you scroll down. The colors, the dresses, the shorts, the tops, the denim, and guess what, there is a wide leg white pair! I am telling you, as soon as you view this weeks blog photos, you better get in and get your size or give us a call to hold it, because these garments will be bye, bye right out the door! There will be a Summer soon, and you will want something to wear that is fun and fashionable! We got right here at Meadow Boutique for you.

Here’s Meadow Boutique’s new arrivals for this week:

KORI caters to the customers that look for and enjoys expressing her freedom and individuality through the style she wears. KORI distributes pieces for everyday wear, but with an added touch of unexplainable flavor, which makes her feel exceptional. The KORI woman has a peaceful spirit and sense of serenity about her, which makes others wonder why her aura “shines so bright.” That pretty much sums up the dresses we have this week from KORI and you will feel wearing one! We cant wait to see you shine in one of these beauties.

ANGIE is a collection of clothing and accessories inspired by a global lifestyle and deeply rooted in bohemian and vintage influences. Our designers search the world for incredible art to bring clothing to life. We are not afraid of color. We are not shy of embellishment. We are bold, poetic, and yet instantly wearable. Angie is truly the every girl brand. Nice fabrics with beautiful floral detail. Not too much - just right, short and long lengths dresses with some pants and shorts as well

MITTO SHOP is a premiere women's young contemporary line for the fashion-forward and the free spirited modern lady. This week there are great tops and shorts and rompers. Everything you need for those Summer months around the corner.

RISEN is a global manufacturer and wholesale company of women’s denim wear that embodies California’s unique style sense and trends like the cool, relaxed girl, to the edgy city girl. This week the straight leg cut off denim and a wide leg white denim is here for the taking at Meadow. Yes that’s right, white, so cute and in trend. I may have bought a pair, perhaps……

SPACE 46 is a feminine lifestyle brand started in 2013 with a tulle skirt. Since then, they have expanded to a full line of apparel and accessories currently at 4,000+ retailers in the US, Canada, and the UK. This week with some great tops, fun shorts and a kimono that you can throw on with anything!

Just an update that we are still wearing masks at Meadow Boutique. Things are changing quick so who knows when we will shed them. We will make sure you know as you enter the Boutique. We know a lot of us have been vaccinated, so we appreciate you continuing to wear your masks in the store until further notice. Thank you so much for continued patronage and love we always feel when you walk through our doors. We are definitely still in this together and we find that very comforting! We value each and every one of you and look forward to serving you in the months ahead! BRING ON SUMMER! xoxoxoxoxo

Welcome June!

June 4, 2021 Shelley Hall

The Summer months are finally in site. The past few days have been hot. It’s seems to be like that in Seattle. It’s raining and coolness is in the air and then all of a sudden it’s hot! Then Summer is here and we relish in the days of warmth and sunshine. No one appreciates the sunshine more than the people who live in Seattle. We do everything we can to be out in it. Vitamin D becomes our goal for the Summer. The climate in Seattle during June can be summarized as mild and reasonably dry. June is in the summer in Seattle and is typically the 3rd warmest month of the year.

What’s happening at Meadow Boutiques this week? Lots of great pieces that will take you all the way thru Summer.

GILLI is here in a big way with super cute dresses and jumpsuits that are a flared crop. Love. Love. Love. The colors are amazing and after trying them all on, I was surprised how vibrant they looked! Colors I never thought would look good on me, well, they did. So I say venture out from black, I know, I know, that is a difficult feat, but just give it a try and see what you think. After the past year, we need color in our life!

LE MIEL, LE LIS, & SPACE 46 all have great little tanks in all styles and the perfect colors that will pair up nicely with shorts or jeans. Some are cropped, others are not. You get to chose!

ANEMONE Bralettes, so lovely and feminine. Beautiful crochet scalloped edge lace bralettes, pull over styles, long lines, all day comfort. Removable bra pads, criss-cross straps at back, the straps have a silver detailing and are adjustable with the perfect amount of stretch. Comfortable enough to wear around the house on these warm days and feel cool as a cucumber.

MONO B has an 80’s style jean jacket. It’s fun and funky and it is a nice change from the run of the mill jean jacket we have been wearing.

LOVE VINTAGE has 2 v-neck distressed tees in navy and banana color. Yes, I said banana, because it is that kind of yellow. It seems this yellow is much easier to wear than other yellows. Both are a loose fit and lightweight.

POISON MUSHROOM wide leg jeans. I am just like most of you, not sure about wide legs, but hey, I am game to try because I wore this style in the 60’s and 70’s. They have to to look good and they have to be flattering. Were they ever or we were young and didn’t care? We will be getting a variety of wide legs in the coming weeks. Ease yourself into it, that’s the only way. What’s the worse thing that could happen? You go back to the skinnies that are piled high in your closet. Sigh…….

June is full of surprises in the way of fashion. Meadow Boutique will cater to your needs in whatever ways we can. What we do know, is that it is time to break out of the shell we have been in and start living. Throw your sweats in the winter box and get out in the world. New colors and style await you. Come in and let us help you find what you need to feel like Summer is the best season of the year. We are here to add a little fashion spice to your life. Thank you again for your support and love and care. We are eternally grateful! xoxoxoxo

Memorial Weekend Arrivals 2021

May 28, 2021 Shelley Hall

Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service of their country, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. In remembering the fallen, we also honor their loved ones: spouses, fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers, friends. There really aren’t proper words, but we do live in gratitude each and every day for the precious gift that they have given to us. We should reflect on their service and why we have the luxury and freedom that we enjoy today. We might consider a way we can support and safeguard their grieving families and loved ones who are left behind.

Despite the increasing celebration of the holiday as a summer rite of passage, there are some formal rituals still on the books: The American flag should be hung at half-staff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff. And since 2000, when the U.S. Congress passed legislation, all Americans are encouraged to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time.

We are still in a pandemic, but with roughly half of all Washington adults (16 +) fully vaccinated against COVID-19, things are approaching some sense of ordinariness - and that includes a lot of rubber tires on roads and feet standing in TSA security lines this Memorial Weekend.

Whatever your plans this Memorial Weekend, be sure to stop by Meadow Boutique and pick up your clothing essentials. You will find a little red, white or blue pieces around the boutique. We know you will somehow show off your colors with amazing finds from Meadow.

Let’s get down to business. What’s new this week, you ask?

CHRIS & CAROL have some exciting pieces this week. Great colors, light weight cardigans, tops, jeans, a dress, and pant sets. That was my pick this week - the black pant set below. I will be sure to mark it for you! I have so many ideas of how to wear it! The pieces are sold separately so you can grab both pieces or just the one you want.

MONO B is a female-led, Los Angeles based athleisure brand. They design apparel with balance + inclusivity in mind. MONO B balances fashion with function and quality with cost. They believe that moving your body and having a balanced lifestyle is a necessity and not a luxury. So many great pieces this week to wear from sleep to the street and all the activities in-between! You will love all the fashion forward colors in solids and tie-dye.

TEA & ROSE brought in some overalls and jeans this week, so be sure to check those out when you come in. It seems we are always looking for the perfect overalls, so these may be the ones for you.

MICHELLE MCDOWELL DESIGNS From your basic foundation pieces to your bold statement pieces, there’s something for everyone, for every outfit, for every occasion. The Michelle McDowell brand elicits versatility and on-trend designs to keep the modern woman fresh and fabulous! Hurry and grab a pair of these earrings before they disappear. They are quite unique and the price point is oh so alluring!

We hope you have a fabulous weekend with your families and we honor all of your loved ones that have lost their lives for our country. We are forever grateful for their service and the freedoms we have today because of them! Let us all have a moment of silence this weekend to pay our respects. Thank you for your support as always. We couldn’t do it without you, this we know for sure. xoxoxo

Color Your World!

May 21, 2021 Shelley Hall

We are all waking up from a very long hibernation. One we certainly didn’t plan on, but hey, we are still here. We are getting out of our homes and gathering again. Shopping again. Meeting friends again. It feels good, doesn’t it? I don’t think we need to be told to stop and smell the roses anymore, we know and acknowledge the importance of living our best life. Now these words come easily, “What a beautiful, colorful, world we live in.” Everywhere we look we see color, in the flowers, in the fruits, in the vegetables, everywhere. Our wardrobes should house the same kind of color, so when we wake every morning, we are inspired to slip on something that will make us feel alive. At Meadow Boutique this week, you will be reminded of our colorful world, just take a look!

L. A. SOUL is fabulous women's fashion inspired by nature, flowers, trees, wildlife and vintage prints. The dresses are certainly vintage style and the prints, well they look almost good enough to eat! Imagine showing up to see a friend you haven’t seen in a while? They will be so jazzed about your style that they will be following you all over town! When we tried these dresses on we felt so happy - it’s all about the vivid colors and we love color at Meadow Boutique!

CHERISH proudly provides high quality fashion and is designed to suit every style and any occasion. Their lines of clothing are known for its trendy fashion and quality materials. This week, royal blue stands out in some of the pieces, with a yellow cardigan and a tie-up the sides tank top.

DOUBLE ZERO tees are the best here at Meadow. The fabric is such good quality and is a top seller for us. This week we have so many styles - sleeveless, v-neck, short sleeve and the list goes on. These tees are sure to pair with your favorite shorts, jeans and even workout pants if you so desire.

HYFVE has a couple of really fun striped shirts in black and a red stripe. Flowing like the wind with a nice cool fabric! Tuck it in or wear it out, either way looks pretty hip!

FIESTAR brings a couple of high waisted workout shorts and leggings with pockets. Great fabric and super comfortable. Who doesn’t need another pair of shorts for the Summer that will go from a workout to a play date? Not me, said nobody ever!

Like I said - COLOR. COLOR. COLOR Your World with all the fashion statements you can find at Meadow Boutique. So get up and get out in the world. The hibernation is over and the world is ready to get on with life. Today look at all the color we have around us and be grateful. Look in your closet and add the colors you need to make you feel good again and happy again and alive and well again. We want all of our customers to feel better after this long year of uncertainty. We appreciate you and we look forward to seeing you shopping with us again soon! Thank you for supporting us through thick and thin. “We are all in this together.” xoxoxoxo

Mom's Day. Mom's Month.

May 7, 2021 Shelley Hall

In 2021, Mother’s Day is this Sunday, May 9. A day to honor mothers has existed for as long as, well, there have been mothers. How can we give extra recognition to moms, especially if we’re apart? Mother’s Day celebrates motherhood and is a day to make an extra-special effort to recognize and appreciate mothers’ roles in our lives. Often this day is extended to generations of mothers—grandmothers, great-grandmothers, stepmothers—as well as to mother figures. I say we give moms everywhere the whole month! They have proven to be resilient and loving for their family in the past year. Clap. Clap. Clap. Hug. Hug. Hug. No words.

10 WAYS TO CELEBRATE MOM

The past year’s been a challenge. Many of us are rethinking how to give extra recognition to moms. Some of us are apart from our moms when we’d normally be together. How can we celebrate differently? Most moms simply wish to connect with their children and spend time with family in any way possible—if not in person, then with a phone call or video chat! If your mom is at home, give her a day off from any family chores, especially during this difficult time. Someone else can take full responsibility for making or serving the food, clearing and cleaning the dishes, and doing the laundry. Volunteer!

This probably covers the big stuff, but here are 10 creative ways to reach out to mom to show her a little extra comfort, love, and recognition. After all, moms are always there for us!

1. Offer yard and garden services.

2. Decorate your mom’s door or give flowers!

3. Cook for Mom or set up a virtual brunch date.

4. Give your mom a long phone call or put on a virtual talent show!

5. Watch a movie or show together, side by side.

6. Get creative: Make Mom a video, a music playlist, or a piece of art!

7. Get outside! Go for a stroll in the park or how about packing mom a picnic?

8. Make a homemade gift!

9. Travel virtually to a museum or garden together!

10. Make your own card and stop by Meadow Boutique for a special gift!

Here’s our new arrivals for this week, that your mom will cherish, especially coming from you. We have some amazing pieces, I for one am very excited, since I am a mom. There is something for every Mom at Meadow Boutique.

ANGIE - Oh my, these dusters, kimonos, dresses and shorts are riddled with colors and patterns that will make you feel special all over! I mean your mom - one for her, one for you! The Angie Brand takes us back in time and reminds us of the simple things in life when it was all about love. I grew up in the 60’s & 70’s and these types of garments are all too familiar. I confess I bought myself a couple of dusters to style with my summer pieces. So cute and the designs are lovely, makes me feel young again.

DAVI & DANI sports some super stylish dresses and jumpsuits. Any of these can be dressed up for date night or dressed down with some tennies. Mom is sure to like the the simple lines and patterns. If she throws on a little cardigan, she can go from day to evening.

DREAMERS Sweaters are in a full bloom of colors. Stop by and see the pastels you could add to mom’s wardrobe. These sweaters are light weight and have been collected in many colors by our customers. They are soft and wearable all year round!

GILLI is back this week with more dresses and jumpsuits as well. They never disappoint with their fashion forward designs. I say buy one for you and your mom and go out and enjoy the day together! Receiving a gift of one of these jumpsuits will make her feel like Queen for a Day!

LETO ACCESSORIES have 2 beautiful kimonos. One has lace and the other has a grey and orange design. They are both quite flattering. My advice is to take it off the hanger and try it on! You really can’t tell what kimonos will look like unless you put them on your body and see how they look on you.

JEN & CO has some nifty little handbags with 2 straps and two slip pockets, 6 slot card holder, and a middle zip pocket to put credit cards & money, a phone and a little lipstick. They are the perfect size for a walk around town with all you need for a perfect day! You will find these bags simple and colorful - and who doesn’t want to add a pop of color to an outfit?

CC TRUCKER Baseball Hats are back again with florals and distressed solids. Great for all seasons and provides shade while running quick errands, marathons, enjoying outdoor activities - everything our moms love to do!

INDIGO TANGERINE & DEV D+CO have designed some tea towels with all the right words we want to say to our Moms! They are sure cause a giggle or a good laugh and for sure a hug! Messages like these can make your Moms’ day in a hurry! They will be a constant reminder that you remembered her on Mother’s Day when she uses them in the kitchen.

We know we have plenty of new arrivals this week to get you through Mother’s Day, so stop in and see us and let us help you find that special gift! We would love top help you in any way we can!

Parting thoughts: There are moms here at Meadow Boutique that understand the meaning of being “Mom” and we have to say it has taught us so much. Who knew that being a mom would become one of our greatest teachers! You all know what I mean, so just know that all of us at Meadow Boutique honor you. We are truly lucky to know you. Thank you to all the moms out there for spreading love and joy throughout the world and being good role models to the children around you. We are touched by your very being. We hope that you are all celebrated for all you do. Happy Mother’s Day from our home to yours! xoxoxoxo

So You Feel Like Traveling?

April 30, 2021 Shelley Hall

Many Americans are thinking of travel again. We all have the itch to travel after this past year of being homebound. And who can blame us? After all, it’s been more than a year of seesawing coronavirus infection rates, on-again, off-again lockdown restrictions, and simple quarantine fatigue. How many of you haven’t seen your loved ones or even hugged them? How many of you have been dreaming of going to a tropical island and just laying in the sun with your favorite book in hand? We have missed those precious moments and have vowed never to take them for granted again. It’s the little things that we have been doing and never thinking twice about it. Now it seems we have to, lessons we have all learned. Wherever the road may take you, make sure you pack with intention. Masks and sanitizer are still a priority even though we may have been vaccinated. We just want you to stay safe no matter if you fly or ride. Remember that everyone has their own comfort level and being respectful of each other takes a lot of the anxiety away. Once again, “We Are All In This Together” now and forever. This is how we chose to see it and it feels good to say it every time we write this blog. Write yourself a sticky note with this message on your bathroom mirror, we promise it will change your day!

Meadow Boutique is here to help with our new arrivals that you can pack easily and be on your way to that dream destination. Sounds good to me! So what’s new you ask?

CELLO has some really fashion forward pants, high waisted, cut off at the bottom and a color that will know your socks off. Check them in the photos below.

BLACK LABEL sports some new high waisted, button fly, boot cut denim. These are very stylish. We have so many different kinds of jeans right now and they seem to be flying out the door. Hmmm, it must mean those jogger sweats are getting a little old, am I right? Are they dumped in a pile in your closet somewhere?

GILLI is known for their dresses and they never disappoint. This week we have a short green spunky dress and a sleek, slim striped dress. The striped dress is truly a body hugger and the green dress makes you want to skip to your favorite coffee joint. Both dresses will definitely make you want to be seen!

STACATTO adorns 2 floral tee-shirts with a variety of rich spring colors. They really are so colorful and will pair nicely with shorts or jeans. The v-neck and round neck of these tops are very flattering. Both of these tees would go nicely with the CELLO pants I told you about above.

SUNLILLY Roll & Go Sun Hats are perfect for travel and easily rolled up and packed neatly in your bag. Great color patterns and the brim is wide enough to keep the sun from scorching that beautiful face and neck of yours.

SCARVES of every lovely color you might think of that will match your Spring wardrobe. I love these scarves! The patterns remind me of traveling to southeast Asia. Rich in color and patterns. They are soft and light as a scarf and big enough for a wrap! Love. Love Love. You have to see these up close and personal. They have cute little tassels for added detail. The photo does not do them justice. Yes, I will take one of each.

FUNKY MONKEY has handbags to die for! These simple bags are quite sporty and look great as a cross-body bag. Big enough to fit all the essentials. The straps are interchangeable, which lucky for you, we happen to have in 3 different designs for an added price, if desired.

SUNGLASSES oh so many and at $12 you can pick up a few pairs while the sun is out. If you happen to misplace them until the sun comes out again, you can pick yourself up another pair. The price is right and there are so many styles to chose from at Meadow!

As you can see, Meadow Boutique has a lot of apparel and accessories that you can easily pack and go for your upcoming getaway. Easy Peasy! And, you will look fantastic no matter what your choice of travel might be. We all deserve a break and from what we have heard in the past weeks, many people are ready to take it. One customer family took a 8 week RV trip though different states with 4 kids, others are going to Hawaii, weddings are commencing with small gatherings, while some of you are just getting together with others that have been vaccinated so you can move about more freely and hug and whisper sweet nothings in each others ears. There is nothing better than “Human Connection.” So often in the past we might have felt that it wasn’t that important or maybe we took it for granted, but now we know just how important it actually is to us.

Like at Meadow Boutique, we know that we couldn’t have weathered the storm without you. We know that we cherish your funny stories and sharing a laugh or a cry, whatever the case may be. We have seen it all and are grateful that you trust us with all those crazy emotions you seem to be feeling! We don’t care that you gained 15 pounds during COVID. This too shall pass. We care how you feel when you buy new clothes for yourself and look in the mirror and give yourself a wink! You are here, and all of us that are, have a new lease on life. Stop by anytime, we will always be excited to see you and hear the goings-on in your lives that you might want to share. xoxoxoxoxo

Seattle’S Sunny Days

April 23, 2021 Shelley Hall

We cannot help but love these past few weeks of sun. We know the rain is around the corner but Seattleites are a lot more appreciative of the sun than any other state! We let the sun in the Boutique every chance we get, by opening the door to the outside. That feeling of the sun’s rays makes us warm all over. I have said it before and I will say it again, Seattle is the most beautiful place when the sun comes out. I say this because I have travelled the globe and been to many beautiful places. The sky is so blue here and the trees are so green. This beautiful site cannot be viewed everywhere in the world. Gratitude comes to mind. Breathtaking!

What’s new this week?

GILLI - jumpsuits, dresses and rompers, oh my!

MINE - tops with lace and patterns and brilliant textures.

BLACK LABEL - trendy light jackets to feast your eyes upon.

CIELO - hoodies in navy, pink & grey, more fitted and shorter, but not cropped.

RISEN - little shorts in pink & some little daisy duke shorts come to mind with these silkies.

C’EST TOI - light & dark denim shirts with and without a collar.

SPACE 46 - casual shirt dress

VERVET - mom jeans, distressed jean, cut off at the bottom jeans, jeans, jeans, jeans.

JILL’S JEWELS - lightweight leather patterned earrings.

We hope this month you have found connection and kindness in your world. Kindness only happens when there is connections with others. Even when we are being kind to ourselves, it results in benefits to others. Our connection to people serve as a model to children and adults. Listen with an open heart and speak with kind words. After this past year, we all deserve to have positive interactions with others. Thank you for your kindness and connection. It has served us well and kept us positive, even in our down days. We appreciate your support of our little boutique, called Meadow and look forward to connecting with you soon. We are all in this together! xoxoxoxo

Earth Day Tees

April 16, 2021 Shelley Hall

Earth Day was founded in 1970 as a day of education about environmental issues, and Earth Day 2021 will occur on Thursday, April 22—the holiday's 51st anniversary. The holiday is now a global celebration that’s sometimes extended into Earth Week, a full seven days of events focused on green living. The brainchild of Senator Gaylord Nelson and inspired by the protests of the 1960s, Earth Day began as a “national teach-in on the environment” and was held on April 22 to maximize the number of students that could be reached on university campuses. By raising public awareness of pollution, Nelson hoped to bring environmental causes into the national spotlight.

My Birth Day is Earth Day and I am so happy about that, you have no idea! Every year I throw on my favorite tee and hiking gear to head up to a secluded place in Nature. I have to say, that the past year has lead me there over and over again. When times were tough and I felt disconnected, I would venture into the woods on a hike and find comfort. I have so much gratitude for this beautiful Earth and we all should do our part to keep it into existence. It’s truly as simple as just planting a tree or some flowers so the earth can exude the colors of the season. What can you do this Earth Day to show love for our environment? All it takes is a conscious effort to make things happen and create change. Here are 10 simple ways:

Clean up a local beach.
Plant a garden at your home or school.
Scan your neighborhood for litter.
Sign an environmental action petition.
Start a conversation.
Help restore bird habitats.
Buy a reusable water bottle.
Plant a tree.
Clean vacant lots in the community.
Unplug and spend time outside.

So what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique that can put you in that Earth Day mood? We have lots of great t-shirts that you can add to your outdoor activities. and look effortless in whatever you decide to wear.

DOUBLE ZERO has many t-shirts this week in some fun colors. They will match right up with your back-to-nature gear so you can spend some time outside! Or your favorite jeans or shorts - you name it - t-shirts seem to be the only garment that actually goes with everything. We have some great colors to chose from, believe me. The jogger jumpsuit will tickle your fancy too.

HYFVE is another brand that has some interesting pieces. Some short dresses with a gather and tie at the waist. Theres a little black dress for the warm weather with short sleeves you can wear as a dress or a tunic. Such lovely tops that will welcome in Spring and Summer.

GILLI has a super cute floral romper that makes us feel like Spring all over.

We have many styles of JEANS and we are always getting more inventory. Don’t fret, because you can count on us to carry the most in style denim that you are seeing on Instagram and the media. We have designer styles with prices you can afford! Hey, and where are your SUNGLASSES? It’s funny to hear that Seattle sells more sunglasses per capita because the sun comes out, we buy sunglasses, the sun goes away and we have misplaced our sunglasses by the time it comes out again. So what do we do? We buy more! Meadow Boutique has many styles for only $12. You will see them in the photos below! So pick up a pair or 2, you can’t beat the price and they are UV protected.

OK, let’s get outside and enjoy the beautiful Spring days we have been blessed with recently. We look forward to seeing you out and about and stopping by Meadow. We can’t wait to connect with you, every chance we get. We are all in this together friends, so hold on tight, the ride is full of adventure in the months to come. Happy Earth Day! xoxoxoxo

April Showers. May Flowers!

April 9, 2021 Shelley Hall

How many times have you heard the phrase, “April showers bring May flowers?” It’s true. We know that for sure by living here in Seattle. It’s so green and lush and flowers and cherry trees are already blooming. This is truly our favorite time of year. This morning when I came to work, there was a little bouquet of flowers and a pine cone sitting at the front door entrance. It was so sweet. I wonder who took the time to do it? Whoever you are, thank you, it has made my day! Spring is definitely in the air and kindness seems to be too. When kind acts appear like this one, you remember that we all need to feel special no matter how it appears in our lives. Ahhh Spring, it brings out the best in all of us!

What’s in store for this weeks new arrivals? I can honestly say a little of this and a little of that.

GILLI has 2 new Spring dresses, one very floral and the other a nice patterned print in denim blue and white.

CHRIS & CAROL is the mainstay this week with cap-sleeve longer tees and some light cardigans. They have also thrown in a polka-dot black and white polka-dot dress that’s a non-wrinkle fabric with a wrap front. I love the long sleeve striped pullover top with a hood. So soft and cozy. This top pairs well with your joggers (if they are still laying about) or for sure your jeans!

ENDLESS BLU adorns us with a very Springy dress in a green pattern. There’s a really fun light grey hoody cardigan made out of sweatshirt material. Perfect for those workout days or just lounging around. It’s a perfect “throw on” garment. Really stylish! My closet is ready for any of these pieces this week - there are some nice dresses to add to your wardrobe and some basic styles too.

SHOES - We have 2 new pairs of slip-ons to add to your repertoire. Braided black slip-ons by TOP MODA and an animal print style from SODA.

There is something for everyone at Meadow Boutique, no matter how old or young you might be. Come on in and let us help you find something that feels like you are getting a refresh to your Spring wardrobe. It really gives us joy, no kidding. If you haven’t been in lately, you will see the colors changing inside Meadow just like they are outside. We hope you are getting out and about a little more each day to enjoy this Spring. This year we can go out and enjoy life, quite a bit more than last year. For that we are all extremely grateful. We are in this together and we are making sure that you are all kept safe and feel welcome as you walk through the doors of Meadow Boutique. It is our absolute pleasure to serve you, so come on in, even if it’s only to say hello! We value you and your support and are excited for the days ahead. So join us anytime, we always have something new every week that might tickle your fancy. Until we meet again - xoxoxoxo

Is It Really April?

April 2, 2021 Shelley Hall

Here we are - April is here and we can feel it in the air. The beautiful sunny days we have been experiencing here in the Northwest have surely boosted our mood. We opened our doors at the Boutique the other day because we just needed that fresh air feeling inside! And what do you think happens? You are all walking by with friends and dogs and husbands enjoying the day and soaking it all in! And lo and behold, you take the time to come in and say hello and see how we are doing! You are looking for some hip jeans now you have seen on Instagram! YAY! We have had that talk about sweats, remember? LOL! You are finding all the amazing tops we have with beautiful Spring colors. We love that! We enjoy seeing you and giving your dog treats and catching up, because this past year in our lives have given us a lot to talk about. We will do everything we can to continue to keep us all safe by steaming our garments after try-ons and new arrivals. OK, I am going to say it again - Repeat after me………We are all in this together!

Let’s get down to talking about our new arrivals. We are still in the in-between stage where rain is still in the forecast and it’s a little chilly in the evenings. Meadow Boutique is going to take care of you till that sun keeps on shining!

RISEN Denim has a new style coming in at $48. It’s that frayed cut bottoms in a dark wash. Love. Love. Love. If you are ready for some shorts, we got those in too! You might as well stock up, because you know you will want them soon.

BBJ Los Angeles Denim has some true wider boyfriend cuts, distressed and dark wash. I tried these on and really liked them. A steal at $35.

ORANGE CREEK with a simple short sleeve top and a maxi polka-dot dress. Both so fashionable and ready for Spring!

E & M has a beautiful linen top with crocheted sleeves, quite intricate in design. The jacket is a navy blue with stripes inside the hood. Puts me in a sailing trip mood. The leggings are heavier weight with a button front that is easy to throw in a travel bag. Hint. Hint.

BLU PEPPER is all about sleeveless dresses in a short and long version. That baby blue color is so soothing. The jacket is a beige hue with the option to roll up the sleeves and show off the stripes in beige and brown.

DAY TO DAY This jacket is so cozy and perfect for the Spring evenings or walking around town.

GILLI threw in a versatile top with a navy pattern that will pair nicely with our denim or lightweight jackets we have this week.

Lastly but not least, there are some luscious fragranced candles by TRIED & TRUE and I bought 4 of the different fragrances. They smell delicious!

You are all up to speed on our new arrivals. We hope we can kindly lure you in to see us and check out all the new pieces. We can easily put together some outfits for that Easter brunch that will make you feel good all over. We are happy to assist you in any way we can to insure your shopping experience with us is delightful and above all memorable! We value your support and we look forward to connecting with you soon! xoxoxoxo

In Full Swing For Spring

March 26, 2021 Shelley Hall

Well, Spring is finally here! March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, isn’t that the saying? The end of the coronavirus pandemic is on the horizon at last, but the timeline for actually getting there feels like it shifts daily, with updates about viral variants, vaccine logistics, and other important variables seeming to push back the finish line or scoot it forward. When will we be able to finally live our lives again? Pandemics are hard to predict accurately, but we have enough information to make some confident guesses. A useful way to think about what’s ahead is to go season by season. For the most part, daily life will continue to be far from normal for the next few months. Normal is of course a slippery word, given that many Americans have had to report to work or have chosen to dine out, travel, and do all sorts of things that others have avoided. We have to live our lives as we see fit.

It seems with more and more people getting the vaccine, they are venturing out and can breathe a little easier. We can tell you that the customers this past week have been feeling more hope and joy for the days ahead. They want to get out in the world, go to one of their favorite restaurants, purchase a spring wardrobe, take a little trip. Kids are finally going back to school, albeit baby steps. We have seen moms coming in to buy school clothes for their daughters for the first time in over a year. I witnessed it yesterday and it seemed like such fun for them both. Daughters are willing to venture out and try new fashion and moms giving the green light to do so! Everyone seems to be feeling better about the future and what better time to brighten up or add to that wardrobe, than Spring! Meadow Boutique has got you covered. It’s time to spruce up that closet even though some days it feels like the rain will not stop, but then the sun comes out and it gets warmer and we are ready to call it Spring. The flowers are blooming and there is color everywhere. It’s exhilarating!

We are in Full Swing for Spring at Meadow! The Boutique is seeing the change on the racks and we love it! it put a spring in our step, that's for sure. Here’s what’s in store for you this week:

Hayden has brought us looks that I remember well from the 60’s & 70’s. I know, I know, I am dating myself but the tops and dresses in those days were so feminine. Hayden has brought those looks back with some lovely subtle Spring patterns as well as light denim joggers. We know you will love them.

Gilli brings us some new dresses, and oh how we love to see dresses on our racks again! Don’t say you have no where to wear a dress. Dresses are worn with tennies these days and can be dressed up or down in a moments notice.

Tea & Rose has a denim with that more relaxed look we are seeing now and they are cut off at the bottom. They will look great with your tennies now or sandals moving forward into Summer. The price point is a relief for the budget as well, at only $48. There are now no jeans in Meadow over $64. Can you believe it?

Love Tree has really outdone themselves with a super cute distressed longer denim jacket and light weight wide leg capris. That denim jacket is super stylish and the distress is in all the perfect places. I picked up one for myself and plan to style it with just about anything in my closet. It is a very versatile piece.

Ces Femme has a few delightful staple tops in a solid and stripe that will look great with the denim style you are gallivanting about town in. The fabric is nice and light for those warmer days ahead of us.

You will see a couple of woven handbags in the photos, but keep in mind there are only 2, so get them while the getting is good! Out with the old and in with the new.

I am out of breath telling you all about what has arrived at Meadow! Stop by and see all our new arrivals this week. Next week we will have more Spring pieces to chat about. We look forward to seeing you and helping you find some fun colorful pieces. “We are in this together” and that is our motto, today and everyday. xoxoxoxo
