Cameron vs Splendid

Have you checked out some of our new summer pieces from kika? I saved the best for last. I am in love with this skirt and I can see it as a summer staple. I like how breezy and cool skirts are to wear when it is hot outside. There were several maxi skirts with a side slit and stripes are a big thing too. This skirt from Splendid seemed the most similar and both are made in the USA. However, kika again wins in the color selection and the fact that our fabrics are made here in the USA too. Oh and the price is nice too. Which one would you choose?

Briana vs Michael Kors

Have you checked out some of our new summer pieces from kika? If you loved Portia from last season but maybe it was too long? You are going to love Briana! I also like the high/low hemline and it is very on trend. There were lots of dresses and skirts with this type of style but this one that I found from Michael Kors was the closest match. I like that Briana is a skirt AND a dress and while the price is a little more ... the fact that it comes in 10 colors plus a print makes that a non-issue. Which one would you choose?

Hayden vs Soft Joie

Have you checked out some of our new summer pieces from kika? If you loved Anastasia from last season, you are going to love Hayden! It is a new stripe fabric with the same dreaming drape and it comes in 10 colors. I like that the straps are more substantial so you can wear a racerback bra with it now. 

It was hard to find a good comparison item but I think I did okay. I like the chevron stripes of the kika item but they are both made in the USA. Which one would you choose?

Hem Your Own Kika Skirt

You may have read my other blog post on hemming your own kika pants so this one is just a follow up to that post. I am short and often many maxi skirts and pants are too long for me. What I like about kika is that you can hem your own stuff with a pair of scissors (or a rotary cutter). I am not home right now so I had to use scissors to hem my Cameron skirt. It is about 2 inches too long and I really want to wear it while I am in Sweden. I probably only cut off a little less than 2 inches as I wanted to make sure I didn't make it too short either.

I started off with only cutting a little off just in case I screwed it up and had to hem it with a sewing machine later. The trick was to go slow, have a really sharp pair of scissors and also have someone help you keep the fabric taught. I highly recommend a rotary cutter as it makes the whole thing so much easier but if you don't ... scissors will do just fine. Take a look!
