The Green Monster

Everyone knows that on March 17th seemingly normal people --- your co-workers, your friends, your mom, even random pedestrians you pass on the street --- suddenly morph into that which shall not be named .... <whisper> the Green Monster.  It is rumored this affliction started a long time ago in Ireland where every March 17th you wore the color green to honor St. Patrick.  But somehow this also means that if you DO NOT wear green, you're in for a day filled with people pinching you.  Ouch!

So when you wake up on that Saturday morning, do you want to have the sudden realization that you're going to be pinched all day long? We didn't think so!  Head over to Designer Days Boutique now to get your St. Patty's day fashion that will ensure you're left unpinched!

New Year's Resolutions

As 2011 drew to a close, we found ourselves in contemplative thought as we always do at the end of a year, spending countless minutes mulling over the last 365 days.  What did I do right?  What did I do wrong?  What could I have done better? These are the typical questions ordinary people ask themselves when putting together their tentative New Year's Resolutions.

But may we remind you that Fashionistas are anything but ordinary.  Instead, these savvy trendsetters have a different perspective:  they ask things like "Did I actually wear those super trendy Gucci shoes?  Do I still love this Prada purse?  Is this wall of accessories a good investment?"

They mentally prepare themselves for the arduous task that looms before them, the tense hours staring at their closets having debates with themselves over why certain items deserve a second chance, why others were bought but never worn and why some simply must go.

In an effort to help out our fellow Fashionistas we at Designer Days Boutique have put together a list of New Year's resolutions for you to use as a guideline in your quest for closet tranquility in the year 2012:

Resolution #1:  Out with the Old, In with the Gold....  

And when we say Gold, we really mean Green --- i.e. cash, aka $$$.  That's right, take those designer duds that you have sitting in your closet that you're no longer wearing and bring them in to DDB!  Not only will it create room in your closet and bring in some additional cash for new looks but it will give you peace of mind to know all those gorgeous finds are going to a good home :-)

For more information on how to consign stop by our store at 5846 Ellsworth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15232 or call us at 412.441.0330.  You may also visit our website for more details: http://designerdaysboutique.com/howto.html


Resolution #2: Revive the Roaring 20s


Travel back to the time of Prohibition, flappers and tommy guns... the look of the 1920s was all about freedom from corsets, allowing for a natural silhouette and fun sophistication.

Vera Wang Dress (evening Drop waist):  $150; Size 36

Calvin Klein Dress: $43; Sz 6 (75% off this month ONLY)
long strand pearl necklace: $17
long strand pearl necklace with tassel:$21

Resolution  #3: Swinging 60s
Revive the nostalgia of these iconic looks with short skirts, daring patterns and whimsical tops to make heads turn.

Stella McCartney jacket: $606; SZ 38
Cynthia Steffe Skirt: 1/2 off for 27.50

Resolution #4: Let your mood rule
This year, let everyone know how you feel by expressing your mood via your clothes.  Use earthy tones to express your demure attitude and love of nature, pastels to show your tender, romantic side and floral prints to show your fun, flirty side.

You can be all business and still show your feminity by pairing this blazer and skirt with a flirty, floral top to hint at your fun loving tender side.
Calvin Klein Blazer: 1/2 off for $32.50; SZ 6
BCBG Skirt: $32; SZ 10
Lilac Floral top: $45; SZ M

Resolution #5: Express Yourself
Let's face it, our accessories are an extension of our self expression; they can say a lot about who we are.  Truly fabulous looks owe much of their success to the accessories that accent them.  A look without its accessories are like a christmas tree without its ornaments---it just doesn't work (and seriously, how much fun would that be?).

This classic little black dress is a gem all on its own, but add this eye catching necklace and you get a simple, sophisticated look that is anything but boring.
Club Monaco Dress: 1/2 off for $22.50; Sz S

Cross necklace: $28

This dress is a stunning look that can work in any setting.  Let your accessories do the talking for you!
