I heard a saying recently, if you make the dog food, you’d better be prepared to eat it.
Kinda gross, but basically it’s saying put your money where you mouth is when it comes to your product.
Part of the service I want to offer you guys as my readers and personal styling clients, is the option to find clothes that FIT well, FLATTER all shapes and sizes and are AFFORDABLE to most budgets. This is the main reason I started my little online store, Cait & Co.
What I WAS finding though, was that I was choose ‘safe’ options. I was choosing pieces for the majority.
Which, in a business sense, seems like the smart decision, but I also felt a bit like I wasn’t getting the enjoyment out of the products I was selling.
One of the biggest things I preach to clients is that you have to love LOVE something if you are going to buy it. So basically I’ve decided to give you guys the best of both worlds when it comes to the Cait & Co store going forward.
You can shop the The Basics Collection – this is for all your everyday wardrobe staples. You can slot them into your own wardrobe and personal style how ever you like.
And now you can also shop The Stylist’s Edit – yay!
Basically, it’s a collection of pieces that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, and want to share with you, but maybe are a little more out there than some of the regular pieces in the store.
So want to see what’s in the latest Stylist’s Edit and why I love them? Here you go!
The “Daintree” Shift Dress from Jericho Road Clothing $199 (size 10 – 18)
Why I LOVE it. It’s a dress. It has pockets. Need I say more?
But really. This awesome little Queensland brand has been on my radar for a while, I have one of their shift dresses (same shape, different print) from last summer and I LOVE it!
The dress is a lovely soft cotton and is also fully lined. The fit is relaxed, but still flattering over curves, oh AND you can reverse it! So wear it V-neck, or boat neck style!
We’ve got ONE of each size in the store, so if you love it, make it yours now!
The 3/4 Sleeve White Collared Shirt from Sacha Drake $199 (size 8 -18)
Why I LOVE it. This is actually the only white shirt you will ever need. Especially if you are bigger in the bust.
From one of my favourite designers ever, Sacha Drake, this shirt is designed and made in Brisbane so you know the quality is going to be next level amazing.
I’ve had mine for over 5 years now and it’s still in as good condition as the day I bought it.
The design of the shirt allows you to either tuck it into high-waisted pants or skirt, layer it under a sleeveless dress or wear it out over a skinny pant.
And the back has a flattering tuck in it, that pulls it in every-so-slightly at the waist, creating a super-feminine shape.
Note: We special order this shirt directly from Sacha Drake when you order it, so shipping may take slightly longer.
The “Hello Sunshine” Straw Tote Bag $99
Why I LOVE it. hello? Just look at it!
How much fun is this bag for summer! It’s bright, it’s big, it’s all a girl could want in a bag!
The perfect bag for taking to the beach (and fitting ALL of the towels in it), or to the grocery shop instead of using plastic. It’s got quite a big, round base, so it’s stable, but not too bulky for just running into the store quickly.
As soon as I saw this bag, I knew I wanted it! BUT I’ve only got 3 of them in the store, so again, if you love it like I do, make sure you’re quick!
What else will we see in The Stylist’s Edit.
I’ll keep adding to the collection as I see thing I love. I’m trying my best to find pieces that will accomodate as many shapes and sizes as I can, so rest assured, even though this collection is a little bit about me, I’m still always thinking about you.
I’ve also got some super-fun jewellery in the collection so make sure you check it out!
I’m just REALLY excited about these pieces, they are pieces that I love, and would definitely spend my hard-earned money on, so I hope you love them as much as I do!
Until Next Time, In Love & Style Always,
