Skinny Pants vs Nordstrom

I have done this comparison before but these pants are a lot more similar than the ones I found before. Our clothing ranks up there in quality with the big name brands and this is just one way to showcase that. I love the feel of these pants, all the colors and the pocket details too. How about you?

DeLisa vs Eileen Fisher

It is that time again where I peruse the big retail websites and find things that I can do side by side comparisons with. I have several that I am working on but first ... one of my favorites ... DeLisa! I never have found a button down shirt that FITS me until now! Plus it comes in a ton of colors, organic cotton and almost $80 less than this other shirt that I found. What do you think?


I love this comment from the kika blog:

I love this top. I bought one from Nordstrom’s and it isn't as nice and was more expensive! I also love that you have it available in so many colors."

Ash & Orchid Jewelry

I have a wholesale jewelry account that has a lot of sterling silver jewelry but it also has a lot of other options too. I had a website to sell the jewelry but it just wasn't working for me. Now I have added a few jewelry items to my Square account as it allows me to sell items on there without charging me money to host them. I only get charged when I sell an item which I really like. Selling jewelry is not my focus but I will do it if people are interested. Mostly I use the jewelry to inexpensively accessorize my clothing and well ... to accessorize me too!

So, let me know if there is something you are looking for as I can probably find it in the 1000's of items in my catalog. All my jewelry prices now include FREE shipping and FREE tax but I can give you a coupon code for various discounts too. Maybe you are local to me and don't need free shipping? Maybe you live in a state that doesn't add sales tax? Maybe I just like you a lot? ;) Just let me know!

Ash & Orchid Goes Networking

Sometimes it is challenging finding new outfits to wear everyday. Especially when my new clothing samples arrive and I haven't had a chance to try everything on yet. I also never know if the sizes they send me will actually fit or close enough anyway. I saw the colors Ash and Orchid together and knew I had to put a look together and I just hoped it would work out. I loved it and I got lots of compliments at the networking meeting that I went to as well. It was fun to see at least 3 of us in some shade of Orchid too!

The top and jacket were one size too big for me but I made it work. I really loved that I can have the look of a business suit but be completely comfortable with no restrictions at all through the arms and shoulders which are my trouble spots. Plus, I can throw it all in the wash and it comes out looking exactly the same the next time I wear it. What do you think?
