After not buying anything while I was in Italy, I’ve been itchin’ to do a little shopping. So when Lori invited me to a Shade Clothing Open House, I was willing to alter my schedule slightly to go. And I was so glad I did!
Kristine had told me about the modest, longer tops put out by Shade Clothing, and I’ve seen them in Bon-Macy’s stores, but never tried any. Moderately priced, but functional, they are still not in the “bottom of the fashion food chain” price range I normally live in. Unless it’s a sample sale. This Open House was.
I walked right in and picked up the perfect item for me: yet another short sleeved button-up white cotton dress shirt. You see, I may have mentioned, I dream of having one whole summer when I wear all white shirts. And even if I decide that’s too restrictive and never end up doing it, nevertheless, I LOVE wearing short-sleeved white dress shirts in the summer. And this one is so nice and long!
The Shade personal shopper was also offering deals from the clearance page of their web-site, lots of stuff for $6 apiece.(True or false = shipping is always only $2.95?). I chose the long sleeve t-shirt pictured here but in “currant”, which is a wine color.
Total score: two basic tops, in colors I wear, for $13.52. And a fun night out with a friend to boot!
For those who may not know, Shade Clothing Personal Shoppers will bring a showcase to your home (like a Tupperware or Pampered Chef party). Has anyone ever hosted or been to one? I’d love to be a guest!
I had a nice time as well! I think your new white shirt will be a great spring/summer staple, and you can’t beat that price. 🙂 I don’t think the shipping is always $2.95, but I could happily be wrong. I had a party in the fall and it was fun. I recommend the sales rep we met last night – Tara. She’s one of two personal shoppers in Spokane and provides exceptional customer service.
And a side note – the little girls’ shirts are awesome for kids! As we discussed last night, we can’t start the trend of dressing modestly too soon, especially since some brands make low riders for preschoolers. They are a little longer and are great for layering.
Thanks for a fun night!
I think that white shirt would have been a good deal even for the 13.52 – so the other t-shirt is basically free! 😉
Wow! Their stuff is that inexpensive? That’s terrific. I’m actually not familiar with them, although I LOVE Longaberger Baskets and Pampered Chef. I’ll have to ask around and see if anyone knows anything about them around here.
