ESPRIT DE CORPS
COOL MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS

We see many mothers and daughters shopping here in the store and in the mall that we thought it might be nice to imagine ways to interweave a style.  Infants and young mothers, college girls and their mothers, and women in their sixties with their "still shopping" ninety-year-old mothers.   It is also fun to watch them give one another style advice.  A few of us remember the days when our mothers had our outfits made to match by a seamstress.  While those days are gone it seems quite right to have a bit of shared style.

"the dress featured a metal bodice layered with silks and decorated with Swarovski crystals and weighed close to 25 pounds"

Here's our interpretation of Katniss's infamous gown with items in the shop.

Check out this fabulous article by Vanity Fair featuring beautiful photos of the cast of Catching Fire (via). The movie was fantastic, and so we decided to recreate some of the fashion we saw in the movie. We rarely post twice in one week, but to be honest, we couldn't resist! So much beautiful inspiration from this movie. We sure think the costumer designer knew exactly what they were doing!

This dress below reminds us of the infamous "mockingjay" dress that Katniss wears in the movie (the picture above).

Love this simple look. Recreate it with items in the shop.

She wore lots of sweaters throughout the movie. Try these inspired looks below.

Black Friday

an artistic reminder that this is Black Friday, the traditional day that retailers go from the red to the black in their account ledgers and it is the harbinger of a good holiday season.  happy shopping y'all.  see you in the store.

Sometimes we miss the old black and white photos.
