Buxom Basics 1.1

I never stand in my closet full of clothes and complain that I have nothing to wear.  Finally I have reached a point where I am in love with each item in my closet, and just about everything works together.  Sure it seems that I am at an advantage since I own a clothing boutique, but it's just as easy for me to stock pile items that don't compliment my personal style, bodacious figure, or my budget.
The fine art of quality over quantity is something to be desired and should be your mindset when it comes to adding items to your closet.  Don't be afraid to define quality on your own terms.  Some would consider certain expensive name brands to be quality based on nothing more than a label, if that's your idea of quality certainly go with it. A quality item in my closet is a piece that can be worn over and over in different ways and will help transform other clothes into new outfits.  I enjoy items that keep their shape and color, sometimes these pieces are funky and sometimes they are simple.
Since it's my prerogative and responsibility to help you build the best wardrobe possible expect to see regular blog posts that will guide you in this goal.  You will also notice this theme when you come into the store, shopping should be a fruitful and exciting experience.  I want you to fall in love with your closet! It probably won't be easy and it certainly won't happen in a day but it can be as fun and as painless as you allow it to be.  
One of the best places to start is with some basic pieces.  Basic does not have to mean boring or even traditional.

This is the AnnaFesta cowl neck top in celery, and it's my favorite thing ever from Denver designer Anne Fanganello.  Now it may not be your color, and luckily it comes in many colors, but the design is what's key.  This top is perfect on it's own or under a jacket. It's not bulky or too long, hitting right at the waist. The neckline is appropriate for work, interviews, and speaking engagements because it's not plunging in the front.
If you are busty like I am then you already know that a button-front is probably not a basic option for you, not to mention most of them are made from stiff cotton and can feel bulky when layering.  This top is soft and breathable and easy to layer.  It's comfortable and stylish.  Stay tuned for fall when new prints and solids will be offered.
