November Neutrals

November 1, 2024 Shelley Hall

November is the perfect time to embrace the versatility and timeless appeal of neutral colors, especially here in Seattle, where cool, overcast days invite us to cozy up in chic, layered styles. This month’s blog, November Neutrals, highlights how classic shades like beige, cream, gray, and black create the ultimate Fall-to-Winter wardrobe—pieces that feel effortlessly stylish in any setting, from downtown outings to evenings by the fire. And we all know how much you all love these colors!

At Meadow Boutique, we have a selection of our best neutral pieces, chosen for their ability to mix, match, and layer seamlessly. Our picks this season includes everything from soft oversized sweaters to sleek denim —all designed to bring ease and elegance to your everyday look. Neutrals are perfect for Seattle’s urban-casual vibe; they feel natural yet refined, adaptable to the city's unpredictable weather and the demands of our busy days.

With “November Neutrals,” we also want to guide you in building your own collection—a thoughtfully curated wardrobe of versatile pieces that work together effortlessly. Think of a capsule collection as your style foundation: a handful of items, all in a cohesive color palette, that can be combined in countless ways. A luxurious cream sweater, for instance, pairs beautifully with tailored black pants for work, or with high-waisted jeans for a weekend brunch. A structured beige trench coat layers seamlessly over just about any outfit and is the ultimate Fall staple. Adding a classic black blazer to your wardrobe allows for a day-to-night transition in minutes, creating a sleek, polished look that’s perfect for a Seattle evening.

Neutral pieces offer endless possibilities to layer and create dimension, which is key as the temperatures dip. The beauty of neutral layering is that it adds depth without the need for bold patterns or colors. Combine a cozy, chunky-knit sweater with a fitted light weight coat for texture and warmth, or try a turtleneck under a soft, tailored blazer for a chic yet subtle statement. For a pop of understated elegance, our collection of accessories—minimalist bags, dainty gold jewelry, and structured scarves—provides just the right finishing touch to any neutral look. These small details can make a big difference, elevating your outfit while still keeping that sophisticated, low-key feel that’s perfect for Seattle.

In November Neutrals, we also share outfit inspiration tailored to the Pacific Northwest lifestyle. Imagine an easy Saturday afternoon in Ballard, wearing a pair of high-rise jeans, a warm oatmeal-hued sweater, and a caramel-colored scarf, ready to grab coffee and stroll the boutiques. Or picture a sleek city look with black cigarette pants, a classic gray overcoat, and loafers, perfect for a downtown dinner. We want you to feel confident creating your own combinations from your capsule wardrobe, with pieces that seamlessly transition from morning to night.

Neutral colors are seasonless and endlessly adaptable, making them a worthwhile investment for any wardrobe. With Meadow Boutique’s neutral collection, you can enjoy the simplicity, elegance, and functionality of styles that suit Seattle’s unique flair. Embrace the cozy sophistication of neutrals this November, and let Meadow Boutique help you create a wardrobe that makes getting dressed a pleasure, no matter the occasion or weather.

We pride ourselves on producing high-quality garments that are not only affordable and accessible but also bring out confidence in every wearer. Perfect for Seattle and our weather here!

The Magic In The Air: The Holidays Are Coming

October 25, 2024 Shelley Hall

There’s something about the arrival of the holiday season that makes everything feel a little more magical. Pretty soon you will see the signs are everywhere—twinkling lights will be appearing in shop windows, pumpkin spice making its return, and the cool breeze that whispers, "It’s almost time." Whether you're counting the days until Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year’s Eve, the joy is in the anticipation. It always seems we start talking about the holidays too soon, but seriously we just want to give you a heads up and want you to be prepared. Merchandise at Meadow for the season will be coming in and we don’t want you to miss it!

Holiday fashion at Meadow Boutique is all about striking a balance between style and practicality. With the crisp air and occasional drizzle, layering becomes both a necessity and a fashion statement. Cozy knits, wool coats, and water-resistant footwear often form the foundation of a festive wardrobe here. Think chic but comfortable—something you can wear to a holiday party and still feel at ease exploring the city streets or cozying up by a fireplace.

The holidays are the perfect time to embrace rich textures and seasonal colors. Jewel tones like emerald green, burgundy, and deep navy feel festive without being over the top. Seattle’s laid-back vibe means that even dressier outfits can have a relaxed edge. A velvet dress paired with ankle boots or a tailored blazer over a soft knit sweater creates an effortless yet polished look. If you prefer pants, sleek trousers with a fitted turtleneck and a statement necklace can elevate your outfit without sacrificing comfort.

Outerwear is key this time of year, given Seattle’s unpredictable weather. A long coat or a stylish rain jacket layered over a festive outfit keeps you warm and dry, whether you're heading to a holiday market or meeting friends for dinner. Scarves, beanies, and gloves are not just functional but also add texture and color to your ensemble. For footwear, ankle boots or stylish sneakers are popular choices—you'll want something practical but sharp, given that you might be walking more than you expect, even in the rain.

It’s easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of festivities, but by starting early, you’ll have room to savor the little moments—the ones that make the holidays truly special. So while it may still be a bit early on the calendar, the season is just around the corner, and there’s no harm in getting excited about it now. Whether it’s deciding how to decorate this year, thinking about gifts, or mapping out travel plans, a little preparation now can go a long way toward making the season feel effortless when it’s here. OK, so I think we have you thinking about it because I have heard murmurings in cafes and restaurants of people already planning. Cheers to the season at Meadow Boutique!

Cloudy with a Chance of Cozy – Fall Fashion Finds At Meadow

October 18, 2024 Shelley Hall

October in Seattle is all about unpredictable weather—one moment it’s misty, the next there’s a peek of sunshine. But no matter the forecast, Meadow Boutique has you covered with our perfect Fall pieces that blend cozy comfort and chic style. Whether you're layering for warmth or adding flair with accessories, these seasonal finds will help you embrace Autumn in the city.

Each season back at the boutique is like a small celebration, a reminder of nature’s cycles and the beauty in change. Shelley surprises us every time, weaving her vision of trends with classic pieces that reflect the mood of each season. I can almost feel the cozy embrace of Autumn or the crisp excitement of Spring through all the photos and updates I am part of. It’s not just about clothes—it’s about the way fashion allows us to express ourselves differently with each shift in weather, and how Shelley makes that experience come alive for everyone connected to the boutique. Even though I’m no longer physically in Seattle, my connection with Meadow Boutique remains strong. Having worked there for four years as a sales associate and blogger, it’s more than just a job to me—it's a place I truly care about. Now, from abroad, I continue to contribute by managing the blog and writing weekly updates about new merchandise. While my role has shifted to part-time, I’m still deeply involved, helping to keep the boutique’s voice and vision consistent. No matter where I live, Meadow Boutique will always be part of my journey.

Each time Shelley launches a new collection, I can almost feel the seasons shifting—Autumn sneaking in with soft knits and leather accents, winter shimmering through with festive layers, and spring bursting forth in light fabrics and playful colors. Even though I no longer experience those changes firsthand, they still find a way to reach me through Meadow. It’s like catching a familiar scent on the breeze—fleeting, but instantly nostalgic. Fashion becomes my way of staying tethered to those seasonal rhythms, even from a thousand miles away.

Living in Mexico has brought me so much joy, but there are moments I miss the small rituals that come with the seasons—like the first day you can wear a coat or the way spring seems to make everything feel possible. Yet I’ve found my own rhythms here, embracing the simplicity of endless warmth, easy mornings by the ocean, and the comfort of knowing that while seasons may no longer shape my surroundings, they still live on in the things I cherish—like Meadow Boutique, Shelley’s sense of style, and the memories woven into every collection.

My writing this blog is a way for me to stay connected, not only to fashion but to the rhythm of life back in Seattle, and most importantly all of you. Every time I write about Meadow Boutique’s latest arrivals or seasonal trends, it feels like I’m right there—walking the streets on a crisp Autumn day, sipping coffee with friends, or browsing the boutique’s racks, waiting for something special to catch my eye. Fashion has a way of grounding me in memories, and this blog gives me the perfect outlet to celebrate those moments, even from afar. This blog helps bridge the gap between where I am now and where my loved ones are. Fashion has become more than just an interest—it’s a way for me to stay connected to the people and places I care about. As I write about Meadow Boutique’s Fall collection or the joy of layering for Winter, I’m reminded that even though I no longer live in Seattle, the city will always live in me as will all of you. I mean that and I think of you all often.

I appreciate you letting me be a part of this fantastic place, Meadow Boutique, and trusting that you will continue to grace us with your support! So what’s new this week?

All the fashion this week is giving “Cloudy With A Chance Of Cozy” vibes! Get ready to wrap yourself in style with labels we know and love: AMPERSAND AVENUE, GIGIO, JUST USA, ADORA, BE COOL, MICA DENIM, CIELO, ORAIJE, and LOVERVET. And don’t forget the finishing touches—our must-have bags from PRETTY PERSUASIONS and JEN & CO., plus show-stopping jewelry from SPIFFY AND SPLENDID. There’s no better way to fall in love with these pieces than by coming in and getting the full experience. Feel the textures, admire the colors up close, and try everything on until you find the perfect match. We never sell online because we believe shopping should be a moment—a chance to see, feel, and twirl in front of the mirror like no one’s watching. Sizes? They can vary by brand, and that’s part of the magic! One day I’d be a small, the next a medium, and sometimes a large—but that’s the beauty of it. When I was working in-store, I loved trying everything on and showing it off. Shopping at Meadow Boutique felt like play, and working there was even better! Take a peek at the photos below, and let us help you find your perfect fit. You’ll walk out feeling fabulous!

So, whether you’re braving a crisp morning with a pumpkin latte in hand or “accidentally” wearing your new chunky sweater to the couch for a Netflix marathon on those cloudy days (because self-care, right?), Meadow Boutique has got you covered—literally. Just remember: Fall fashion is like the weather—unpredictable, layered, and best enjoyed with boots that make you feel taller than your to-do list. Happy shopping, cozy connoisseurs! 🍂 xoxoxoxo

October Obsessions: Cozy Chic Outfits for the Season

October 11, 2024 Shelley Hall

Just saying the name of the blog this week makes me all warm and cozy. If you check out what we have at Meadow Boutique, you will find out we are right in line with the season and what Seattleites feel comfortable.

As the days grow cooler and the leaves begin to turn, it’s time to embrace the cozy, chic side of your wardrobe. This October, we’re all about effortless layering, rich autumnal tones, and textures that make you want to wrap yourself up in warmth and style. Whether you’re strolling through the park with a pumpkin spice latte in hand or enjoying a casual weekend brunch, our curated looks will keep you feeling comfortable and looking on-trend all season long.

One of our favorite staples for Fall is the oversized sweater. Perfect for pairing with your favorite skinny jeans or a sleek skirt, it’s an ideal blend of comfort and sophistication. This season, look for knits in earthy tones like burnt orange, deep burgundy, and soft camel. We love how these warm hues capture the essence of Fall and can easily be dressed up or down. For a little extra flair, throw on a chic scarf or a statement necklace to elevate your look from casual to polished.

No cozy Fall wardrobe is complete without a versatile outerwear piece, and this year’s must-have is the tailored trench coat. With its structured silhouette and timeless appeal, the trench instantly pulls together any outfit. Whether you’re layering it over a cozy sweater or styling it with a lightweight blouse for warmer October days, it’s the ultimate blend of functionality and fashion. Pair it with ankle boots and a crossbody bag for an effortlessly chic ensemble that can take you from day to night.

For those transitional days when the weather can’t quite decide between crisp mornings and mild afternoons, layering is your best friend. Think soft, breathable fabrics like cotton and wool blends that offer warmth without the bulk. Cardigans are a go-to for this reason—they’re easy to throw on over a simple tee or a long-sleeve blouse, giving you the flexibility to adjust your look throughout the day. This season, Meadow Boutique is featuring button-up cardigans in neutral shades perfect for mixing and matching with the rest of your fall wardrobe.

Speaking of layering, nothing says chic like a well-styled scarf. Not only do they keep you warm, but they also serve as the perfect finishing touch to any Autumn ensemble. Drape one over a chunky sweater, or layer it under your trench coat for an extra pop of personality. And don’t forget—the larger the scarf, the better! It’s all about making a bold, cozy statement this Fall. Meadow Boutique always has the best scarves to choose from and they fly out the door once we get them in. Keep that in mind!

Finally, no October wardrobe is complete without a nod to one of the season’s top trends: texture. From faux leather leggings to velvet blazers, rich textures are dominating this Fall, giving even the simplest pieces a luxe feel. Pair a velvet blazer with dark wash jeans for a polished yet approachable vibe, or go all-out with a faux leather skirt for an evening look that turns heads.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week: Everything we are talking about as far as the trends and fashion pieces, Meadow Boutique has so much to offer! Every week we have something new to choose from, so we never know what Shelley has up her sleeve for new October merchandise. This week we have THE WORKSHOP pieces, PRETTY PERSUASIONS and SEPTEMBER SKYE bags, BE COOL pieces, CI SONO has jackets to die for and JUST USA and MICA DENIM are in the mix as well. It’s better if you just look below at all the photos and you will see how all these labels are perfect for October. We will never let you down!

And there you have it—our favorite October obsessions that will have you looking stylish while staying oh-so-cozy this Fall. Remember, layering isn’t just for cakes; it’s for sweaters, scarves, and everything in between!

October's Warm Embrace

October 4, 2024 Shelley Hall

As October rolls in, Seattle transforms into a city wrapped in the warm hues of Fall. With leaves turning golden and the air becoming brisk, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe. Whether you're navigating the city’s famous rain or enjoying a sunny Autumn stroll, dressing for comfort and style is key. Layering becomes essential, mixing cozy knits, classic boots, and versatile outerwear to embrace the seasonal shift in the most fashionable way.

Think cozy scarves in rich jewel tones, wide-brim hats to shield from those occasional rain showers, and statement gloves that add a touch of elegance. Don’t forget about chunky knit beanies and fun patterned socks peeking out from under your boots. Accessories are the perfect way to inject personality into your outfit while staying cozy and weather-ready. Meadow Boutique always has the best accessories for such reasonable prices. It’s a perfect go-to, so you can pick up exactly what you need!

As Fall settles in and the time to bundle up approaches, there’s still plenty of fun to be had outdoors, especially with Washington’s breathtaking Fall foliage. One of my absolute favorite activities during this season is hiking. There's something magical about being surrounded by nature while watching the leaves change into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the crisp air and the beauty that Autumn brings. Here are a few hikes that will bring you joy in the season of color. Nature is forever giving and healing.

Best October Hikes Around Seattle:

Rattlesnake Ledge – A moderate, 4-mile round trip with stunning lake views and gorgeous fall foliage.
Twin Falls – A shorter, family-friendly hike with waterfalls, beautiful trees, and mossy landscapes.
Wallace Falls – A 5.6-mile round trip with striking views of waterfalls surrounded by autumn colors.
Snow Lake – A slightly more challenging 7-mile hike, perfect for enjoying alpine scenery and colorful fall trees.
Mount Pilchuck – For experienced hikers, this 5.4-mile trail offers expansive views that, in October, are framed by fall foliage.

October is indeed a lovely time to enjoy Seattle's outdoor beauty, as long as you're prepared for the occasional rain and changing conditions!

Pick a hike and give it a try. In the meantime, what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

Sweater Yourself In September

September 13, 2024 Shelley Hall

It’s that time of year, for yes, you got it, sweaters. It seems like no matter how many we have, we always seem to be adding more. This week at Meadow Boutique we had many shipments coming in but the box full of sweaters is the only one that made it to the Boutique. I guess that is a hint for all of us.

Fall 2024 sweater trends are bringing together both timeless and bold styles. One of the key looks this season includes chunky knits in rich, autumnal colors like mustard yellow and rust. These are perfect for layering and creating a cozy vibe. Another popular design is striped sweaters, especially in neutral shades like tan and white, which add a classic, versatile touch to any outfit.

For those wanting a modern twist, neon accents on neutral sweaters are making a statement. These pops of bright color elevate more traditional styles. Additionally, cropped and oversized sweaters continue to be trendy, ideal for pairing with high-waisted bottoms

If you're into texture, the cable-knit and ribbed designs bring depth and structure to your look, while luxurious fabrics like cashmere are prominent for a more elevated feelWhether you're going for a laid-back or chic look, this fall offers a sweater for every style preference!

What's great about a good sweater outfit is that it can be ultra-cozy without hindering your style. It is incredibly easy to layer, including those tricky items you have in your closet. It can match with your most sparkly mini, a fully sheer maxi, and all your edgiest shoes. Chances are, you haven't been fully aware of the myriad possibilities of the sweaters in your closet.

So what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

That’s an easy one—sweaters, of course! And who do we love most for our sweaters? You already know the answer: DREAMERS and STACCATO are our top sellers. Their styles and fabric weights are always perfect—comfortable, cozy, and just right. We know you love collecting DREAMERS in all the colors and styles because they’re so versatile. Then there’s LOVE TREE and BLU PEPPER. LOVE TREE’s plaid and shacket styles are perfect for the season, especially for the classic Seattle layering we all rely on. And BLU PEPPER? Their timeless dresses are a favorite—pieces you’ve had in your closet for years because they never seem to go out of style.

Last but certainly not least, we present JUST USA Denim. Designed in California with a commitment to quality and an unwavering focus on craftsmanship, our denim is made to be cherished. "Let’s just say we’ve been passionate about denim—officially—for almost four decades. From sourcing the finest fabrics to perfecting every fit, we’ve mastered our craft and built a thriving wholesale business from the ground up.

And that’s exactly what sets them apart—it makes you want to invest in these jeans. It’s clear they genuinely care. In today's world, I want companies that care! I want to wear clothing from brands that are diligent about sourcing quality materials and providing the best fit for every body, shape, and size.

This Fall, sweaters aren’t just cozy—they’re your wardrobe’s ultimate power move. From chunky knits to sleek stripes and eye-catching neon details, sweaters are stealing the spotlight with bold, stylish statements. It's not just about staying warm; it's about turning heads. Whether you’re rocking daring colors or embracing the luxe feel of refined cashmere, this season’s sweaters strike the perfect balance between timeless elegance and modern rebellion.

September's New Arrivals

September 6, 2024 Shelley Hall

We hope your Labor Day weekend was fantastic! There’s something special about those three-day weekends, isn’t there? In a world where many of us clock in far more than the traditional 40 hours a week, an extra day to unwind feels like a rare and cherished gift. Whether you spent it relaxing, adventuring, or simply catching up on some much-needed rest, Labor Day reminds us of the value of a well-deserved break.

Labor Day quietly signals the end of Summer, marking a subtle shift in the rhythm of life. As the long weekend passes, the carefree days of Summer begin to fade, giving way to the anticipation of Fall. The holiday brings one last burst of Summer energy with barbecues, beach outings, and family gatherings, yet there's an underlying awareness that these moments are fleeting. Pools close, vacation spots quiet down, and the pace of life begins to pick up again. The evenings grow cooler, and the days shorter, as children return to school and routines reestablish themselves. Without fanfare, Labor Day ushers in the end of Summer, leaving behind memories of warm, sun-soaked days as we gradually turn toward the crisp embrace of Fall.

That’s why Meadow Boutique is already stocked with the latest Fall arrivals, just in time for the seasonal shift. As the leaves start to change, it’s the perfect moment to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that will carry you through cooler days in style. So, what’s new this week? We’ve got the hottest trends and must-have looks waiting for you, and trust us—our photos don’t do justice to the luxurious fabrics or how incredible they’ll look on you. There’s nothing like trying them on in person to see for yourself. And let’s be honest—who can resist a shopping spree, especially when Fall fashion is calling?

Shopping for clothes is my ultimate weakness—my Achilles' heel, if you will. I mean, it’s not like I have a closet bursting at the seams or anything. Okay, maybe I do, but can you ever really have too many outfits? I know, it sounds like crazy talk. Back in my teaching days, my students would pop into my classroom just to see what I was wearing, like it was some kind of fashion show. Little did I know, they were secretly counting my outfits. When they hit 65 and casually mentioned it, I had a moment of realization. Yep, that was the moment I officially came to terms with my, shall we say, enthusiastic shopping habits!

OK - enough about me…….what’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

Let’s take a moment to talk about THE WORKSHOP STUDIO brand. "The essence of The Workshop Studio lies in its commitment to embracing every woman's uniqueness, with meticulous attention to detail to understand their needs and tastes. At The Workshop Studio, we embody confidence and sophistication by blending the latest trends with timeless basics, accentuating and celebrating the beauty of each woman's figure." Just look at the pieces we have right now—from sweater tops to a few that rival our most sought-after brand, Dreamers sweaters. They offer a better price point and a more fitted style. Then there's STACCATO, one of our favorites. They consistently deliver the best styles and beautiful colors to elevate any outfit. And what do you think about MICA DENIM? We’re obsessed with the styles and fabrics—so soft, luxurious, and comfortable! That’s what we’re all about when fall rolls around in this city. About MICA DENIM that you should know - Founded in the heart of California, a place they proudly call home, Mica Denim is driven by the essence of unfussy, effortlessly chic, and laid-back California Cool, seamlessly blending innovation with timeless styles to stay at the forefront of the latest trends and contemporary fashion. I think they nailed it, what about you?

So, hey fashionistas! 🍂 Fall is in the air, and so are the latest styles at Meadow Boutique! Now’s the time to embrace the cozy, the chic, and everything in between. Our racks are brimming with fabulous Fall fashions just waiting for you to try on. So why not swing by and treat yourself to a little wardrobe refresh? It always helps my outlook on the day when I have new clothes! Trust us, your future self will thank you when those cool breezes start rolling in. See you soon, and happy shopping! 🌟 We thank you as always for your unwavering support! xoxoxoxo

Fall Fashion Forecast: September’s Must-Have Pieces for 2024

August 30, 2024 Shelley Hall

As we step into September and the first signs of the Fall season appears, it’s time to start curating your wardrobe for the cooler days ahead. This season, fashion is all about versatility, comfort, and a touch of boldness. Here’s your guide to the must-have pieces that will define your style for fall 2024.

1. Oversized Blazers

The oversized blazer continues to reign supreme this fall. Perfect for layering, these blazers can be dressed up with tailored trousers or down with a pair of jeans. Opt for classic colors like black, gray, or camel for a timeless look, or go bold with vibrant hues or patterns like houndstooth.

2. Knit Dresses

Knitwear is a staple for Fall, and knit dresses are at the forefront this season. Whether it’s a chunky sweater dress or a sleek ribbed number, these dresses are both cozy and chic. Pair them with knee-high boots or chunky loafers for an effortlessly stylish outfit.

3. Wide-Leg Trousers

Wide-leg trousers are back with a vengeance this fall, offering a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. Look for high-waisted styles in luxurious fabrics like wool or tweed. These trousers are versatile enough to be worn with a fitted turtleneck or a loose blouse, making them a key piece for any fall wardrobe.

4. Leather Jackets

Leather jackets never go out of style, but this fall, they’re getting an update with modern cuts and details. Cropped styles, oversized fits, and jackets with unique embellishments like studs or fringe are all trending. A classic black leather jacket is a must, but don’t shy away from experimenting with colors like burgundy, olive, or even metallics.

5. Statement Boots

Boots are a Fall essential, and this season, statement boots are the way to go. Think knee-high or over-the-knee styles in rich suedes, bold colors, or animal prints. Chunky soles and square toes are also making waves, adding an edgy twist to your fall outfits.

6. Quilted Coats

Quilted coats are not only practical for staying warm, but they’re also a major trend for Fall 2024. Look for coats in neutral tones or soft pastels for a more subtle take, or go for bold colors if you want to stand out. These coats are perfect for layering over your everyday outfits, providing both warmth and style.

7. Plaid Skirts

Plaid is a quintessential Fall pattern, and plaid skirts are a must-have this season. Whether you prefer a classic pleated mini or a more modern midi length, these skirts can be styled in countless ways. Pair them with tights and ankle boots for a classic fall look, or add a chunky sweater for extra coziness.

8. Chunky Knits

Chunky knit sweaters are the epitome of Fall comfort. This season, oversized and textured knits are particularly popular, with cable-knit designs and turtlenecks leading the pack. These sweaters are perfect for layering over dresses or pairing with jeans for a laid-back, cozy vibe.

9. Textured Bags

Handbags are getting a tactile upgrade this Fall with textures like shearling, velvet, and woven materials. Structured shapes are in, but with a soft, plush feel that adds a cozy touch to any outfit. Look for bags in warm, earthy tones that complement the season’s color palette.

10. Layered Jewelry

This Fall, jewelry is all about layering. Mix and match necklaces of different lengths, stack rings, or wear multiple bracelets to create a unique look. Gold remains a favorite, but mixing metals is also on-trend. Chunky chains, statement earrings, and personalized pieces add a touch of individuality to your ensemble.

Conclusion

Fall 2024 is all about blending comfort with standout style. From oversized blazers to statement boots, these must-have pieces will help you transition into the season with confidence and flair. Embrace the trends, experiment with textures and patterns, and make this fall your most fashionable yet.

Cooler Days Ahead

August 23, 2024 Shelley Hall

I can’t believe I am saying that is going to get cooler already, but it is. We seem to always have a bit of Summer and sun in September and oh, it’s so beautiful. The fabrics at Meadow Boutique are turning to sweaters, some light, some heavier. That’s what we have come to friends! We hope you were able to take advantage of all the great Summer pieces we had this year. You can still find some, but as we warned, the Fall fashion is coming in and will be on the racks. We always love getting in all the great new styles of denim from our favorite labels. Yes, it’s happening! Our photos below are here to prove it!

I have given you all this fashion advice before but I am going to say it again - just to get you in the mood to start thinking about the change in seasons!

Fall fashion is all about layering and combining different textures to create cozy yet stylish outfits. Mixing and matching with pieces already in your closet is important. Start with a versatile base like a turtleneck or a simple sweater, which can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Pair it with high-waisted jeans or a tailored skirt for a polished look, adding a chunky knit cardigan or an oversized blazer for warmth.

Incorporating rich autumnal colors like deep burgundy, mustard yellow, and forest green can really capture the essence of the season. Mixing these tones with neutrals like beige, gray, or cream keeps the outfit balanced. A scarf in a contrasting color or pattern can add a pop of interest without overwhelming the ensemble. In Seattle, we think you aways need a pop of color to help with us because we always seem to wear neutral colors here.

Footwear plays a crucial role in fall fashion. Ankle boots are a classic choice that can transition from day to night with ease, while knee-high boots offer a more dramatic option, especially when paired with a flowy dress or skirt. Experimenting with textures, like suede or leather, adds depth to your outfit and enhances the overall look. We get in some fun footwear sometimes. At our other location we always had more to chose from because we had more room. We will get back there, not to worry!

Accessories like hats, belts, and bags also make a significant impact. A wide-brimmed hat or a beret can elevate a simple outfit, while a belt cinched at the waist can add definition and structure to layered pieces. A stylish crossbody bag or a tote in a complementary color ties everything together, making your fall fashion both functional and fashionable.

Look no further than Meadow Boutique for all your fall fashion needs. We’re constantly refreshing our collection with new arrivals every week, so there’s always something exciting to discover. One of the best things about shopping at Meadow is the sense of anticipation—each visit brings a fresh selection of styles you won’t find anywhere else in our community.

I love Meadow Boutique because it’s not just about the fashion; it’s about the whole experience—the prices, the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the unique vibe that Shelley has created. She has an incredible knack for curating the perfect space, even after the challenges we faced a couple of years ago. Despite having a smaller store now, every inch is thoughtfully merchandised, making it a visual delight and a great value. That’s why Meadow is my favorite place to shop in Seattle—it’s a true gem in our city.

What’s new this week at my favorite store? This week, we're thrilled to introduce some fabulous new arrivals, and trust us, you won’t want to miss out!

BLU PEPPER has completely stolen the show with their stunning Fall sweater tops. Each piece is a perfect blend of comfort and style, making it the ultimate choice for the upcoming season. But let's not forget about DREAMERS—our all-time bestsellers in sweaters. Their diverse range of styles and colors makes it easy to see why so many of you have a DREAMERS sweater in every shade! Whether you're a fan of cozy neutrals or bold hues, there's a DREAMERS sweater that's just right for you. Then there’s DEBUT, always adding that extra special touch to their designs. This week, it’s a charming bow detail that elevates their sweaters to a whole new level of chic. For denim lovers, ORAIJE is quickly becoming a crowd favorite. Their jeans are simply amazing, with styles that fit like a dream. And of course, we can’t forget about STACCATO—a brand we've loved and trusted for years. Their pieces never fail to impress, and they’re a staple in our collection for a reason. With Fall just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to start thinking about your wardrobe refresh. While the weather may still be warm, those cooler days are on the horizon. And we know how Seattleites are—always planning their next escape to somewhere tropical when winter hits! So, take a look at our latest arrivals below. Whether you’re searching for the ideal sweater, the perfect pair of jeans, or both, we’re here to help you find just what you need. Don’t hesitate to ask—we’re always happy to assist!

One final thought before I go: Picking up a sweater for fall at Meadow Boutique is like finding the coziest, most stylish hug you'll ever wear. You know it's serious sweater season when you start rationalizing that yes, you do need another one—even though your closet is already a cozy-knit paradise. But really, who can resist when Meadow has sweaters that practically whisper, "Take me home, I’ll make you look fabulous and feel like you’re wrapped in a cloud"? Plus, it's a lot easier to explain one more sweater to your partner than it is to explain why you're wearing that same old hoodie for the third day in a row. xoxoxoxo

The Ever Changing Seasons

August 16, 2024 Shelley Hall

There is always something new at Meadow Boutique every single week in case you haven’t noticed. There’s still Summer fashion and also there is Fall fashion coming in slowly. Sale items are also happening here.

As Summer fades into Fall, the world of fashion undergoes a transformation that mirrors the shifting landscape. The light, airy fabrics of summer give way to richer, more textured materials that embrace the cooler weather. Bright, bold colors are gradually replaced by deeper, earthier tones—think warm browns, burnt oranges, and deep burgundies that evoke the changing leaves.

Layering becomes a key element in Fall fashion. Where Summer called for minimalism, fall invites complexity. Lightweight jackets, cardigans, and scarves make their appearance, allowing for a creative mix-and-match approach. The focus shifts from the simplicity of summer dresses and shorts to the versatility of pieces like tailored blazers, chunky knits, and ankle boots.

Footwear also adapts to the season. Sandals and espadrilles are swapped out for boots—whether they’re sleek and polished or rugged and weatherproof. The need for warmth and comfort leads to the incorporation of materials like leather, suede, and wool, which not only protect against the chill but also add a tactile richness to outfits.

Accessories play a crucial role in this seasonal shift. Hats, gloves, and scarves become both functional and stylish, offering a way to express personal style while keeping warm. Jewelry transitions from the delicate and minimalistic to more statement pieces that can stand out against the heavier fabrics of fall attire. The transition from Summer to Fall in fashion is about embracing change. It’s a time to experiment with new combinations, to rediscover the joy of layering, and to appreciate the cozy elegance that Autumn brings.

We decided to do something different this week and take the photos off the websites we order from. I like this concept because it shows you how the fashion looks on bodies. So what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique that you may want to stop by and try on?

THE WORKSHOP, STACCATO, BLU PEPPER and GIGIO. WOW! Get ready to cozy up in style this Fall! Check out the adorable selection of sweaters, chic tops, stylish pants, and of course, the must-have dress for the season. These pieces look absolutely stunning on the models, giving us a glimpse of how fabulous they’ll look on you. Better yet, it’s the perfect opportunity to mix and match with what’s already in your closet, adding that extra flair to your outfit. Let the Fall fashion inspiration begin at Meadow Boutique!

We hope your summer has been nothing short of amazing, filled with memorable moments that you’ll cherish as the season comes to an end. As the back-to-school season approaches, we know you’re preparing for new routines and the excitement that comes with it. Whether it’s getting your kids ready for their first day or simply embracing the change of seasons, there’s so much to look forward to.

For us, this time of year is especially thrilling as we begin to see the arrival of fresh, new items that inspire our love for fashion. Fashion is more than just our passion—it’s our way of life, and we’re eager to share it with you. Let us be your go-to source for all the style inspiration you need to step confidently into the next season. Whether you’re looking for the latest trends or timeless pieces, we’re here to ensure Meadow Boutique is always ahead of the curve, ready to make a statement wherever you go. Come in. See us.

Taking Time For A Little Vacation

August 9, 2024 Shelley Hall

I'm keeping my location a secret, but I can share that I'm enjoying a delightful little vacation. The sun is shining brightly, and the heat envelops me like a warm embrace. From my deck, the brilliant blue sky frames the ocean waves that dance below; I can even hear their rhythmic lullaby. Nestled in a comfy chair, I savor my coffee, and I can't help but wonder: why does everything taste so much better on vacation? I’m truly grateful for this chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing my mind to quiet as I soak in the sights and sounds around me. What about you? Where did you sneak off to this summer? Come visit the Boutique and share your adventures with us, we would love hearing about it! Did you get to flaunt any fabulous pieces from Meadow Boutique?

I love everything I have purchased at Meadow Boutique, but it doesn’t stop me to keep on buying. Oh my!

I hope you all were able to get away for a bit during the Summer before the kids are starting back to school. Even long weekends can be a vacation for some of us. A summer vacation for me is about the mind, body, and soul and finding balance and rejuvenation in a way that refreshes me entirely. I pictured myself waking up to the sound of gentle waves, the sun casting a warm glow over the horizon. My days are filled with mindful practices—morning yoga sessions on the beach, breathing in the fresh sea air, and feeling the soft sand beneath my feet. It’s been great to nurture my body with fresh, locally-sourced meals, savoring the vibrant flavors of the season.

If you haven’t taken a break yet, it's high time to treat yourself. With so many stylish and comfortable outfits from Meadow that are a breeze to pack, you'll be ready to go in no time. Staying around Seattle? The weather is still gorgeous, and you've got plenty of time to enjoy it, even into September.

So, don’t wait—just go and embrace the adventure!

August: Sunny Days In Paradise

August 2, 2024 Shelley Hall

Seattle is known for its rainy reputation, but August will bring some of the sunniest and most pleasant weather of the year. August usually sees plenty of sunshine, with long daylight hours and relatively few rainy days. The weather is typically warm and sunny, with average high temperatures around 75-80°F, making it perfect for outdoor activities. Seattle in August is truly delightful. The long days, with lovely sunsets provide ample time to enjoy our city's beautiful scenery and lively culture. August in Seattle is a vibrant and beautiful time! We all know this and love this about Seattle.

Meadow Boutique still has plenty of Summer wear. The dresses, the tops, the shorts, the hats, the earrings, the sunglasses, are still here for the taking, but BEWARE, slowly Fall fashion will be creeping in and you will be asking us where all the Summer pieces went. We don’t want you to miss getting what you need for the days left of Summer. September is still a warm month here too. Summer is our paradise in Seattle and here’s why you need to dress accordingly:

Natural Beauty: The city is surrounded by stunning natural scenery, including the Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and the Cascade and Olympic mountain ranges. This provides us with ample opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, and boating. I know living here I have partaken in all these activities and it has been awesome. The older I get, the more I think bout how grateful I have been to have lived in a place with such amazing activities.

Mild Climate: Seattle's climate is relatively mild compared to many other parts of the United States. Our Winters are generally wet but not too cold, and summers are dry and warm without being excessively hot. This is a very nice feature. We have seen lots of customers come from other parts of the country to get out of the excessive heat in their state. They think Seattle is paradise!

Vibrant Culture: Seattle has a rich cultural scene, with numerous museums, theaters, music venues, and art galleries. We are also known for our strong coffee culture, with many independent cafes as well as being the birthplace of Starbucks. I have been many places in the world, and I can tell you that no matter where you go to a Starbucks, it all tastes like it does in the states. Starbucks is consistent and you can count on them wherever you land in the world. We love our small little coffee shops too. They have so much character and are intimate and usually have great workspaces for those of us who work online.

Innovation Hub: We are a major tech hub, home to companies like Microsoft and Amazon. This has attracted a lot of young professionals coming in and out of town and has fostered a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship. This is something to be proud of for our city.

Eco-Friendly: Seattle is known for its environmental consciousness, with a strong focus on sustainability and green living. Our city has numerous parks and green spaces, and there is a strong emphasis on recycling and reducing carbon footprints. This does not happen everywhere in the USA so we should be pretty proud of ourselves for caring about our earth like we do in Seattle.

Diverse Neighborhoods: Seattle boasts a variety of neighborhoods, each with its own unique character and charm. From the historic Pioneer Square to the trendy Capitol Hill, there is something for everyone. And look at Queen Anne, home of Meadow Boutique! You know we aren’t leaving anytime soon. We are like a mainstay in Queen Anne. everyone seems to know where to find us.

High Quality of Life: Seattle consistently ranks high in quality of life due to its strong economy, good healthcare system, excellent educational institutions, and overall livability. No place is perfect - I mean no place. We have our issues, but there are plenty of us that stand up for the good of our communities with the hope of change!

These factors combined make our home in Seattle an attractive place for us to live, often earning it the label of a modern-day paradise.

So there you have it - August is paradise in Seattle, so what’s new this week to tickle your fancy?

Dresses this week from the THE SHOP COMPANY, LENA, ENTRO. Then there’s HYFYVE t-shirt & a tank. There’s even an ADORA crocheted vest - so cute and trendy. VICI has a very sweet embroidered cardigan. The color is like ice cream flavor. The WORKSHOP button up is very versatile as a sassy top or a layered piece. We still have the LA MIEL kick flares and SNEAK PEEK wide leg jeans and ORAIJI shorts. Going once, going twice, seriously get in and grab them while you can. The FEDORAS and BLU PEPPER light weight pants are perfect together. there are so many pieces we can mix and match for you.

Meadow Seattle’s Fashionistas

July 12, 2024 Shelley Hall

You all are fashionistas in our eyes. When you step into Meadow Boutique, you bring joy with your conversations, laughter, and the excitement of trying on new styles. You buy with enthusiasm, and we always share a special bond that feels like a new kind of friendship. This is the magic of our beloved little boutique and our wonderful customers like you.

As we reflect on the past half-year, we are filled with immense gratitude. Despite the challenges and awaiting the rebuilding of our cherished spot, your unwavering support keeps us going. No matter where we've relocated, you continue to celebrate us, and that’s why we are still here.

Our definition of a fashionista in Seattle is someone who has a keen interest in fashion and keeps up with the latest trends, all while incorporating the unique style elements that it is known for. Our fashion scene is influenced by its distinct weather, tech culture, and the city's eclectic and laid-back vibe. That’s why we get in the new arrivals we do. All the fashion is well thought out by Shelley because she knows you all so well and what sells and what her diverse age groups really like to wear. So, here we are showing you what’s new this week and being the fashion minded customers you are, you will find something that’s just perfect for you.

If you love fashion, you undoubtedly have a fashionista story to tell. For me, it all began at the tender age of 5 or 6. My mother, always dressed to impress, was the epitome of elegance, from her meticulously styled hair to her perfectly coordinated shoes. Her makeup was flawless, embodying the glamour of the 50s and 60s when style was paramount. Each morning, she would lay out my outfit for the day on my bed—before I had to wear a Catholic school uniform, which definitely cramped my style. Everything had to match, or I would throw a fit. I remember sitting on my bed, eagerly waiting for my mom to choose clothes from my dresser that matched perfectly, even down to the socks. I was quite the little diva when it came to my wardrobe. Thankfully, my persistence paid off, and I always got my way with how I dressed. As I grew older, my love for fashion expanded. I not only had one closet but three, overflowing with clothes, shoes, coats, hats, and handbags.

Living in Denver for a while, I had the opportunity to work with fashion designers, sharing their stories as a radio host and staying updated with the latest trends in their studios. I even participated in fashion shows just to wear their stunning creations. I worked at Nordstrom as a personal shopper when I wasn't teaching, indulging my passion for fashion by helping others find their perfect look.

Before the era of influencers and Instagram, I would have certainly embraced those platforms. I adored putting together outfits for other women, which led me to run a nonprofit called Dress for Success Denver. This organization provided women with workplace clothing and helped them understand how to live a new life. It was a place for a second chance and super nice clothing! Fashion isn't just a passion for me—it's a way of life. I love creating it, wearing it, and working in places that celebrate amazing fashion. One of those places was Meadow Boutique, where resisting the urge to buy every new piece was a constant struggle.In hindsight I would have loved to have been a fashion designer, but we all know how life happens it’s own way. Today, I still dress like it's my last day on earth, strutting my stuff regardless of the weather. Cold or hot, I'm in it to win it! Thanks for letting me share my fashionista story. We'd love to hear yours, and don't say you don't have one—if you come into Meadow, we know you do!

Come out….. come out….. wherever you are and see what Meadow Boutique has in store for you this week! So Fashionista friends, what are you needing for your Summer wardrobe? We keep getting incredible pieces in for your viewing and buying pleasure every single week and that’s no joke.

This week, we have an array of fabulous items to elevate your wardrobe! Discover amazing shorts from BE BOP & ROYALTY and chic tops from LILY STAR, ROZ & ALI, and BLU PEPPER. For a playful twist, check out the funky shorts and top ensemble from ROSA CLOTHING, or add some flair with a fun kimono from AS U WISH. And don’t miss out on our SUNGLASSES, back at just $18! With prices this good, why not grab a couple? FLOPPY HATS are a timeless staple, perfect for completing any outfit. Feeling the heat? Tie your hair back with one of our stylish SCARVES available in a variety of colors and patterns. Embrace your inner Fashionista and make these pieces WORK! Everything in our store screams, "I am here, and look at my outfit!" Meadow is where it’s at friends, I mean fashionistas!

I won’t keep you any longer this week with the blog—especially with this gorgeous weather! Seattle's skyline is breathtaking, with its blue skies and lush green trees. It's truly heavenly, and you should be out there enjoying every minute of it! But before you head out, take a quick look below. Pick your favorites, come in and try them on, and see what you think! We’re certain you’ll find something perfect to complement your fashionista flair. And please, spread the word about Meadow Boutique! I’m always surprised when people don’t know about us. What?

Cue the dramatic music as parents everywhere brace themselves for the next three months.

It's a well-known fact that the last day of school triggers an immediate transformation in your kids. They go from dutifully completing homework and attending classes to becoming miniature tornadoes of energy and demands. And you? You’re suddenly thrust into roles you didn’t quite sign up for: entertainers, snack dispensers, referees, and occasionally, amateur rocket scientists (because why not build a spaceship out of cardboard boxes?).

Mornings start with the optimistic plan of educational trips to the museum, but by noon, it’s clear that the only thing your kids are learning is how to argue about who gets to sit where in the car. By afternoon, the living room looks like a hurricane passed through, and by evening, moms or dads are silently questioning their life choices while hiding in the pantry, munching on what was supposed to be the kids' snacks.

Let’s not forget the infamous, “I’m bored!” declaration. It's as if your kids have a radar for the exact moment their parents sit down for a break. They emerge from their rooms, eyes wide with desperation, clutching at their chests like they've been wandering a desert for weeks. “I’m bored!” they proclaim, as if the house isn’t filled with toys, books, and a backyard that’s practically a theme park. But amidst the chaos, there are moments of pure joy and laughter. Like when a simple game of hide-and-seek turns into a two-hour escapade, or when you find your kids having a dance party in the kitchen, wearing your socks on their hands for some inexplicable reason. Summer is a wild ride. It’s loud, messy, and exhausting, but it’s also filled with memories that you’ll cherish forever after you manage to catch a quick nap and clean up that glitter explosion in the living room.

Amidst this chaos, retail therapy becomes a much-needed escape. Stopping by charming boutiques and local shops like Meadow, you can momentarily step out of the role of entertainer-in-chief and indulge in a bit of self-care. Whether it's picking up a stylish new outfit, treating yourself to a gourmet coffee, or simply enjoying the peaceful ambiance of window shopping, your retail excursion will provide a refreshing break. It's a chance to recharge, find a few treasures, and perhaps even discover new ways to make the summer days more enjoyable. So, here's to retail therapy ladies —because sometimes, a little shopping spree is just what moms need to balance the summertime madness.
