How To Wear A Scarf

Friday, February 25th, 2011

Adding a scarf can be both functional and fashionable.  Throwing on a scarf sounds simple enough right?  I usually wear mine in 3 or 4 different ways over and over again so when I saw this online, I knew I had to share it with all of you.  My favorite is the side bow, I’ll be rocking that look very soon.

Who Loves Short Shorts?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

We do we do!  Wearing shorts is not just for Spring & Summer anymore.  Pair them with leggings or tights when its chilly outside and bare legged in the summer.  I see shorts as the casual sister of skirts.  I would wear shorts in lieu of a skirt to change it up a bit.  We’ve received a few different styles of shorts in for Spring and we are getting a lot of questions like “what kind of top do I wear with it”? Well I’ve searched for some inspiration pictures to help you all out.  Will you be wearing shorts anytime soon?

Bermuda Shorts + Belt + Nude Blouse = Casual Chic


Army Green Shorts + Tweed Blazer + Booties = Perfection

Black “dressy” shorts + Ivory Blouse = Fun & Flirty

Colored and/or Paperbag Short + Striped Cotton Top = Comfy Casual

Any Style Shorts + Casual Button Up = Classic

Jean Shorts + Printed Blouse = Bohemian Chic

In A Cinch

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

I don’t think I can go a week without wearing a belt.  It’s an easy piece to throw on an outfit to add color and texture.  Belts are a great way to show off your waist.  You can cinch a dress, tunic, sweater, or blouse.  One of the belt lines we have been carrying for years is Elise M.  The price points are fabulous (under $40) and they have lasted me for years.  Here’s some styles we have at the store:

Charlize double wrap hip belt in gold $40

Charlize double wrap hip belt in military green $40

Reese waist belt in black $34

Reese waist belt in metallic $34

Reese waist belt in camel $34

Reese waist belt in brown $34

Reese waist belt in grey $34

Megan hip or waist belt in black $35

Megan hip or waist belt in caramel $35

Statement Necklaces

Tuesday, January 11th, 2011

The holidays are over, you took down the tree, packed up your decor, and moved your holiday dresses to the back of your closet, but don’t let your holiday statement necklaces collect dust.  These pieces can be worn well after the holidays and beyond.  We are all about mixing casual with dressy here at Parc.  Throwing on a statement necklace is a quick fix to glam up an ordinary casual outfit. I couldn’t have referenced statement necklaces without some pictures of Ms. Olivia Palermo, the queen of statement necklaces, she does it oh so right!

So pull out those statement pieces and…

Wear it with a t-shirt.

Wear it with a sweatshirt.

Wear it with a crisp or casual white button down shirt.

Wear it with a striped cotton shirt or dress.

How will you wear yours?
