Greetings! I lined up another successful Tippi Match over the weekend, with the help of
LC of Bella Seattle. LC discovered a lone Tippi Dress at a Seattle area Anthro. I checked my Tippi Matchmaker List and sure enough, Natalie was still looking for a Tippi. After several phone calls, Natalie had no luck with an SA finding the Tippi. Shortly after, LC informed me that the dress was
on a rack by the door. Finally, Natalie got hold of a Sales Associate that went looking for a dress, that was now described to her, and
on a rack by the door. Success. What made the deal sweeter was, she picked up her Tippi at the 25% Red Tag discount.
Search Tips: If you are looking for a special item by phone, it helps to give as much information as possible, including a description of the item and the possible location in the store. Style numbers are usually necessary, but they won't find a dress that hasn't been entered in the stores inventory control system. And be aware that SA's don't always know the online names.
A few weeks ago I inquired about purchasing a Black Cardigan. An overwhelming number of Ladies suggested J Crew's Jackie Cardigan. I was hesitant. I find it difficult to spend $62 on a plain cardigan.
I am officially a J Crew Jackie convert. This is a great sweater. TTS. No stretching after a long day. I couldn't be happier with this Cardigan. True, I can't wear it outside in 110 degree F weather, but it's perfect for the ice box temps in the office. So great in fact, I ordered another in Laquer Yellow. I'm on the verge of a third very soon.
My office has a long tile hallway that runs dead center down the middle. There have times when I attempted to soundlessly tip-toe my way to the Powder Room. Yes ladies, I was wearing wooden clogs. So you must imagine my happiness to discover how quiet the Finest Hour Heels are. Now I can joyfully skip my way to the Potty with no embarrassing clang, clang.
My Clank-Proof Clogs are showing signs of love.........right up front.
Anthro has an almost exact pair of Miss Albright's, although much higher, on sale
HERE.
I don't need to tell you how much I love this Dress. Many Ladies had a desire for this dress that was strongly associated with Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." The last time I watched this rather disturbing Sci-Fi movie I was just a kid. I caught the tail end of the movie about a week after I received my Tippi. It's still disturbing.
It almost seems silly to tell you this, because I've never felt anything like this from a piece of clothing.
The Tippi Dress mesmerizes me. I'm fascinated by the shadowed, scene that circles the skirt. The dress is Wispy, When a breeze catches the delicate Silk Skirt, it ripples like water. I feel pretty just by wearing it.
Isn't that exactly what a dress should do?
Do you have a Dress that does something special like this for you?
Does it have a name?
and finally....
What did I borrow from the Mompos dress to wear with the Tippi?
