Memorial Day heralds in the summer, and new styles

FASHION CHATTER
By Sue Manning

One of the blessings of living on the Central Coast is the weather, and Elna’s Dress Shop wants to create something that inspires, brightens, uplifts, and puts a smile on your face. If you are going to make one addition to your wardrobe this season, make it a print. From polka-dots, stripes, florals, or checks, every pattern offers a world of stylish possibilities.

This is added to some of the basic items you have in your wardrobe: a pair of black, navy, grey, white, and tan pants. Brown pants in the fall are also important. Also a basic is black dress and/or black skirt. Let’s not forget a pair of denim pants, skirt, or dress for all seasons: fall, winter, spring or summer.

Pick a basic piece of clothing that you feel is incredibly striking while also being understated and yet gives you
confidence. We will help you build a complimentary new piece of clothing to update your wardrobe.

A new season, as of Memorial Day, the first day of summer, brings in new styles. Elna’s Dress Shop is the place to come. If planning your wardrobe is something you have on your “to do” list, you must select clothes you haven’t worn for some time (say a year of more) perhaps it’s time to part with them. They are taking up valuable closet space for all the new “must haves” for the coming season. It is nice to air clothing out, as believe it or not, dust does settle in our closet.

Let us make suggestions, coordinating fashions with your lifestyle in mind. Wardrobe building is a free service at Elna’s. All local customers are entitled to a 10% discount.
