Trend of the Moment: BOWS!

I LOVE wearing bows. We have some adorable selections at Trade Chic that feature subtle and outrageous bows! Check out my outfit (from the USED section) as well as some of these cute picks from the NEW section!

This is a dress I snagged from our Used Section.. b/w with a big 'ol bow!



..and I paired it with these Betsey Johnson b/w bow earrings!



This Purple Raincoat is AMAZINGLY cute! It has a detachable bow on the back and a bow lining. So cute! OH.. and it's on SALE!!








Next up.. hanky hem bow tank top with sequin details!




Boyfriend cardi with embroidered bows!




Can't figure out why it cuts off too soon ..-but-..

SPANX! Kitsch! Missphit! OH MY!

Well, we have returned from the Las Vegas MAGIC Apparel convention with some serious goodies!! We caught up with Spanx and made a nice purchase of the high-waisted sucker-inners as well as the pre-packaged high-waisted style! They should arrive the first part of March!



You will no longer have to drive over to Lane Bryant to grab a pair of Spanx to go under your great Trade Chic outfit!


We also caught up with the lovely designers at Kitch, who we found out are located RIGHT HERE in Woodinville! Awesome! We made some LOVELY purchases with them that will be great for our more mature customer as well as fun and cute for Spring for our career and college crowd!

Last but not least, we met the owners of Missphit, one of the junior plus lines we carry in the boutique and they had some really great samples for Spring! We fell in LOVE with the vintage/pin-up type styles they have in production.. we couldn't decide which to buy.. so we bought them ALL. Look for the new Missphit styles in the boutique over the next week and next few weeks. :)

xoxo, TC

MODEL SEARCH!

Have you entered our model search? You have until February 1st to submit your application and photos! Here are some of the contestants!


Hannah, 19
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: I would love to model for Trade Chic because it is such a great store! Trade Chic always has the cutest and most fashionable looks! I bought my prom dress from here months early because it was so cute! I think that I should be the face of Trade Chic because I have a great personality and I love to socialize!


Melissa, 35
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: To become the face of Trade Chic would bring everything I believe forward, that your size can never limit your dreams. Modeling, was always a dream for me. I've been a full figured woman for most of my life, and I lacked faith due to my size. I want more than anything to show other women that you can be full figured and look beautiful. Now that more designers are working on fashion lines for women like myself, I am beyond estactic... We come In all shapes and sizes, and I like any other woman, loves to walk out the door looking fantabulous!


Lisa, 35
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: I love the style and confidence that the clothes at Trade Chic bring to me! I always leave the store with more confidence than what I came in with. I want to be the face of Trade Chic so that I can share this confidence with other plus size ladies!


Jennifer, 30
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: Trade Chic introduced me to a style I never thought I could "pull off." I am always surprised by how great I look in the styles they sell. I am excited to introduce plus size women to the fun and sassy styles that TC has. I think a lot of people could benefit from the fresh and chic clothes that are much different than the styles we all see at the other plus size stores. I would love to be the spokesperson for these great fashions!


Andrea, 18
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: I'm a fashion design student, and my main goal is to provide clothing for the fashion forward plus size woman. I really feel like plus size girls need to dress with confidence, for their shape and embrace their bodies. I just recently found Trade Chic and I have yet to visit the store, but I plan to. I love how there is a store for plus size girls that's locally owned providing fashion from all around. I'd love to be the face of Trade Chic, because women need someone who represents them and I am exactly that, a young plus size woman who loves fashion and being happy in my own body despite the media's interpretation.


Lauren, 25
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: I am a proud plus size woman with a discerning taste who knows the owners well and knows what their business is about: class, fashion, and access to styles that were previously unavailable to the plus size shopper.


Kori, 29
Why should you be the face of Trade Chic?: I think I should be the face of Trade Chic because I love the skin I'm in! And it took me along time to figure out that it's ok to be me! Trade Chic is a store that helped me be ok with myself... And for that I say "Thank You". I love being me... And being me I being a plus size woman... And that's ok! It doesn't define who I am! It just gives me more character! Thanks Trade Chic!
