I'm especially loving this one! I can see how it can work so well both for work - and to dress up a pair of dark wash jeans for a casual dinner!

When Chadwick's said....
They were going to mend their errant fashion ways and get some real style going on when it came to their offerings I guess they weren't foolin'...
From their Summer Collection
I'm not saying that every single offering is a winner - but a goodly number of them are! Go on over and check it out!
Oh and by the way...I love these shoes:
Once again not being able to wear them doesn't stop me lovin' 'em! ;-)

Over at The Budget Fashionista.....
Chadwicks Becomes Stylish
I posted back in May on Chadwick's attempt to bring in a better line of clothes -- I haven't gone by their site in a while, but I'm glad to hear that they continue to bump up their style offerings!
She continues the Chadwick's theme with sale info:
Daily Deal: Chadwick's Winter Savings
And you might want to get a bag to go with that new coat:
Daily Deal: Endless.com Big Bag Sale
As ever, Ms. K clues you on how to dress well for less!

Check out Chadwicks.com....
Yeah you heard me right. Chadwicks.
I was clued into Chadwicks many years ago by a collegue at work. She always wore the best work basics, nothing fancy but clean lined and well fitting. When I asked her wear she got her clothes, she told me Chadwicks. I checked them out and even brought a couple of things from them over the years. And as my butt got bigger, I started checking out their plus size sister, Jessica London.
But over the years, the style of clothes at Chadwicks, well frankly, got worse and worse. They seemed to be stuck in a 70's time warp of long jackets and one too many fluorescent colors!
(Sister Jess, by the way, is STILL suffering from that! Riddle me this - why is that so many purveyors of plus size dressing are firmly convinced that plus-size women want to dress as a sherbet cup? : - / )
Well recently, the word on the street (Well at least from one of my shopping goddesses, The Budget Fashionista in this post Cheap Chic: Chadwicks Town and Country Tote
) is that Chadwicks is finally going to get back in the fashion game by getting some real designing talent to start creating their clothes. I admit, however, that, great source not withstanding, I was sceptical.
Well it appears that Chadwicks really is trying to get back in the game. A look at their latest catalog (yes, I'm still on the mailing list - hope springs eternal!) does show a change of offerings for the better!
A few of my favs:
Dresses:
Printed Shirtdress - Misses and Petite - $59.00
I love the bold print and the modern, simple lines of this dress!
Pleated Crepe Dress - Misses and Petite - $59.00
I'm not a huge fan of crepe and, yes it's polyester - but I like the sleeves, the color and the unusual pleating detail - definitely worth a look!
Laura Clement Flared Linen Shirt Dress - Misses - $49.99
If I still had my size 14 body - hell, my size 16 body! - this Chi-town girl would buy this dress in a New York minute! A couple of thick wooden bangles and just the right sandals - honey you could not talk to me! ; - )
And I'd pair it with the following jacket:
Laura Clement Linen Safari Jacket - $49.99
Or at least I'd try to - looking at it, there might be too much belt action going on for these two pieces to work together! But the jacket with a dark chocolate brown or black pencil or A-line linen skirt - growl!
And last, but not least...
Openwork Cotton Top - Misses - $14.99
One of the challenges that just about every woman faces as she gets older is the fact that the upper arms just don't always show themselves at their best in sleeveless clothes. I love the laser cut-out detail on the sleeve of this simple top - shows a bit of skin while giving some cover to the "jiggle" show:
Now don't get me wrong - Chadwicks has not totally given up their old ways by any means! But they are obviously in recovery - let's hope it continues!
Now if someone would just do an intervention over at Jessie L.'s!
