ELNA’S FASHION CHATTER
By Sue Manning
I took over Elna’s Dress Shop and it became a merging fashion, quality and versatility shop.
I take my cues from current trends, putting the freshness of street wear with the sophistication of international design for a unique look.
The key phrase for Elna’s is “attainable style for all occasions, regardless of age, body type or look.”
Our vision is forever young with effortless street style, timeless beauty, mixing past inspiration with present innovation.
If you are looking for a collection that encompasses just about every piece a girl could need in her wardrobe, look no further than Jess & Jane. The key quality customers rave about is the super soft feel. That gives them the latest trends without sacrificing comfort. We proudly carry Jess & Jane apparel, so stop in and you’ll be sure to find something that suits you.
Fashion can sometimes seem intimidating and inaccessible. We think we need the “total” look, but not all things belong together. Fall gives us the option of being free-spirited, so feel free to mix and match! Forget the norm; mix prints, textures, and colors. Look for leather, earth tones, plush textures, tapestries, florals, and jewelry with a bold look.
There are new rules on wearing scarves. The thin scarf can be considered an updated take on a choker. It surrounds the neck, but cascades in any direction the wearer desires. Play with color, textures and patterns, and don’t try to match your outfit, rather enhance it with this graphic, bold accent.
In a tough retail market, we pride ourselves on being very customer-oriented. Stop in and see what I mean. If you have a specific top, skirt, or outfit that needs a face lift, come see us. All our associates are personal shoppers for you. No guessing about size — you actually try the garments on and take them home with you.
You may discover new lines and stock up on your favorite brands, completing your immediate clothing and accessory needs. Don’t forget the third Wednesday every month for a 20 percent discount on all regular-priced merchandise, and selected sale items 50 percent off except Danish costumes.
We are open Monday, Wednesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed on Tuesdays. We are located at 1673 Copenhagen Drive in Solvang. For any immediate questions feel free to email us at sue@elnas.com and follow us on Instagram @elnasdressshop.
