just goes to show, you can find style anywhere. before i go too far, let me just say that (a) yes, i realize garnet hill is for old people, and (b) therefore, i may now be old. but i was bored enough to flip through their latest catalog, and there were some pretty do-able pieces to be found, most of which were pretty darn cheap to boot!
this knit dress ($68) is such a perfect summer staple. i hate having to think about what i’m wearing when it’s hotter than hades out. yes, it’s basic, but the ruching at the neckline and the bow give it enough detail to keep it stylish, and the washed-out grey makes it look lived-in, which i love on dresses like these.
i’d pair it with flip-flops (2 for $70, and they look exactly like my $60 j.crew flips) and a chunky necklace. or, even better, this great euro/indian scarf ($52), which is exactly what i’ve been looking for to get me through the summer: lightweight, neutral, and effortless.
so, what do you think – have i lost my mind completely, or are you on board?
Wait, GH is for old people? Even though they sell ToykoBay watches and Chan Luu jewelry and FSNY flats?
sal, you’re totally right…they’re way better than they used to be. i guess i’ve just always lumped them in with j. jill and eileen fisher, since they all have that same sort of loose cotton/linen, i-don’t-want-anyone-seeing-my-waist feel 🙂 and when they do carry good brands, it’s not always the best things…like the french soles they carry are good, but definitely less ‘hip’ than other FSNY out there.
but i agree – anyone that carries chan luu gets definite bonus points in my book!
I have never heard about them before but I found quite a few items on their site I would mlove to have in my wardrobe 🙂 🙂
tahnks for sharing 🙂
GH is waaaaay better than J. Jill or Chicos…I recently discovered GH and ordered a few pieces for casual wear and am loving them! I guess I’m old 🙂
lol…okay, okay, i take back my age-ist comments about GH 🙂 and now i’m going to have to order that dress…i was scared it meant i was permanently headed to the land of no waists, but you all have convinced me it’s much more hip than i realized!
I’m in my 20s and purchased some very cute jewelry on their site. Give them another chance!
