| It's Spring! Cathy Ramage in Hip Wa Zee and Stacey Parris in 2Gs. |
A couple of weeks ago I hosted a lovely bunch of people in my garden for a fashion photo shoot. Diane Hare did the rosy make up and Mark Green snapped the photos. Two of my lovely friends, Stacey Parris and Cathy Ramage, agreed to be my models and Sid N' Nancy, 2G's and Hip Wa Zee were kind enough to allow this little blogess to borrow some fabulous outfits. Thanks, y'all!
So the idea for this post began a couple of months ago when interviewing the lovely Caroline Desanctis (February's Fashion Slice). The girl knows a lot about fashion and aside from educating us on the wonders of a certain red lip stick, she also revealed how a closet sans sweatpants is a better off closet, indeed. And it is true! All of the looks below are proof that style and coziness can peacefully coexist. sigh of relief*
And so below are some outfits that I picked out from the aforementioned clothing stores. I like to think that these outfits are as breezy as a flower garden and as intimite as a lady's powder room.
Let me know what you think!

| Tea time with Stacey in a Hip Wa Zee vintage pink slip. Hip Wa Zee really is one of a kind. Located at 940 Harden Street, this Columbia jewel offers a wide variety of costumes (rentals and for sale) year round. But if you aren't thinking of Halloween in May, that's alright. You still need to check out their vintage apparel. For instance, the pink slip above! |

| Cathy, inspired and all in silk from 2G's. 2G's is located at 723 Saluda Avenue. There, one can find clothing made of some of the most amazing fabrics. I love their variety of silks and airy cottons and I'm also a fan of their très chic big floppy hats! Be sure to stop by when shopping in 5pts. At their low prices, 2G's is an absolute must! |

| No dirty dishes here! Stacey in a mint green silk kaftan with copper embroidery from 2G's. Cathy in a vintage nightie and apron from Hip Wa Zee. |

| Stacey "Wildflower" Parris. Belt and sunflower dress from Sid n' Nancy. Last but not least, Sid N' Nancy! Located at 743 Saluda Avenue, this is one of my favorite shopin' hot spots. You'll always find something you love! Whether it be a cute leather skirt for $25 (true story!) or an $8 sunflower dress, be prepared to leave this shop with a zebra stripped bag in your hand and a naughty smile on your face! |
