Memorial Day Sale

Don't we all just love memorial day weekend. Most everyone gets an extra day off work for a fun filled, sun filled, four day weekend. It is pretty much the first day off work when the weather is finally nice so whether you want to lay out by a pool or boat around a lake, outdoor activities are must! Even notice that the weather is usually fantastic and warm? It's because good warm weather is what memorial day weekends were designed around.

White most of us have the day off from work, some companies work overtime during this weekend. On of the best known facts about this weekend is the guarantee to find a good deal or fantastic sale. Retails stores and other brick and mortar varieties prosper during this weekend because people like me know it is time to go buy stuff!

Although we are a fashion based company, there are other great deals out there other than clothes. You will find many deals on the latest trends but think bigger purchases for this weekend. Have you been wanting a new TV? How about paint for your house? No matter how big or small, now it your time to get it. Places like Lowe's, Macy's, Garden Ridge, Walmart, Home Depot, and car dealerships are all going to be promoting Memorial Day sales events, so get out there and spend some money. -- Sometimes you got to spend money to make money!

Oh, my cardigan!

Twinsets are so last year!

But cardigan sweaters are still all the rage.

These are the types of cardigan everyone needs to have in their closet:

• The Flyaway Cardigan-- This cardigan has no button or closures and is meant to wear open. Many have extra fabric in the front to give it a fuller appearance. These can be worn over tees, tanks, and camisoles either loose and open or belted. You can belt the outside of them or belt the tee, tank, or camisole, and still leave the cardigan open. Lots of choices with this one but completely essential.
• The Wrap Cardigan-- Along the same line of the flyaway one, this cardigan does not have much structure. Usually a bit more fitted than most cardigan, these have extra fabric in the front at the bottom used to wrap around yourself. You can wrap the ends of the cardigan like scarf around your neck or more like a loose wrap, wrapped lightly around your shoulders. The ends of this particular cardigan can be tied in the front for a different look.
• The Collared Cardigan-- This is cross between the very popular blazer or boyfriend jacket and a softer looking cardigan. Often they are knitted and have the same feel as a typical cardigan but with a couple super structured features like large collars, and substantial cuffs, maybe with the same blazer buttoning. The Collared Cardigan is a very trendy piece.
• Other fun and current cardigan looks consist of using different than usual fabrics like sheers, or heavy knits, or prints and embellishments that make them updated from the plain ones we have seen for years. Details such as ruffles, over sized buttons, or embroidery are also great.
