Size Matters Not!

We love to write these articles... and our customers love them too. I think that it's important to show that depending on the item, many different body types can wear the same article of clothing. I've heard it time and time again - "I can't wear that." It's true that not everyone can wear everything. For example, I don't like the way I look in white jeans or shorts.So many ladies think you have to be tall to wear a midi or maxi dress. I honestly don't think that's true. I wear them all summer long. Since they are longer, they are perfect for picnics, outdoor concerts, etc. (we'll be doing those again, right?). Normally, I go to Wolftrap several times a summer, and a long flowy dress is perfect. You can see in the pictures below that Allison (5'10") and I (5'2") can both wear the same dress. I usually wear a flat sandal but will do a wedge if I want to make my outfit look more dressy.  Johnny Was is an amazing brand that offers the same style in a variety of sizes. You can see here that both Allison and my bestie Mary can wear the same dress. It looks lovely on both of them. I love size-inclusive brands! Speaking of size-inclusive brands, we love Sanctuary at Kiskadee. Many of their styles come in sizes XXS through 3X. Beautiful sister duo Jessica and Kaitlyn both look great in this light lavender top from Sanctuary. The eyelet sleeve turns this basic tee into something a little more special. As always, we are happy to drop things off at your house to try on there! www.kiskadeeshop.com/birdbags
