This is trade show season and I'm on my second trip of the year to NYC. This trip is for the gift show - one of my favorite shows. It's the most like "real" shopping because it has everything there - jewels, stationary, design, lighting, furniture... They also really take it the next level in their displays. I mean you have to to, the gift show is the entire Javitis Center and a section of the piers! You really have to shine to catch a buyers eye.
After nearly killing my feet at the Intermezzo show, I decided to take it easy/casual at this one. There is a lot of walking ahead of me. I packed simple, easy outfits and shoes that are feet friendly. I also have my flat boots as a back-up.
I also hope to get some personal shopping in. I just got this jacket from French Connection and I need some pieces to go with it. I'm off to the show!
So it appears that I'm either ahead of the game or one step behind - depending on how you look at things. The above announcement is from Kate Spade and no doubt has been planning the year of pattern way before I announced my pattern mixing goal. I will be strong and push ahead. I have to admit that I have so far been unsuccessful in my attempts. I had serious intentions of mixing patterns for my recent buying trip to NYC. But the shoe/hurting feet situation combined with the fact that every single woman at the shows seemed to decide to bust out her animal print, I opted for some old standbys.
My latest love is neon! Again, I may be one step behind but it will be new to Burlington.
Here's to a great New Year and I am so thankful for the one that just past. I had a great time wearing something that sparkled for the entire month of December. I had no idea that I owned that much bling! It also forced me to be more creative in my dressing which created some great outfits. I might have to try another themed month.
I think I might try mixing patterns for the next themed dressing. What do you think?
We have a great year planned at Sweet Lady Jane. We hope to spend it with you and help you obtain your fashion goals!
