Doubled up Pyrrha talismans

Hue Leggings!

Well-loved Troopa boots by Steve Madden

Katie is kind enough to model what she wore to work again. 

She looks chic, but still comfy in her Hue leggings, 2 Pyrrha necklaces (lucky girl!) 

and Steve Madden boots. The texture and pattern in her outfit is subtle but adds a 

nice visual interest. Thanks for joining us for weekly wear everyone!

weekly wear: BB Dakota, Pyrrha & Hue

Hey Everyone! We've decided to create a little weekly feature called "weekly wears"  to show 

off our clothing in real life!  We'll feature our sales associates (and perhaps others!) 

showing off how they style our clothing in day to day life. 

Here Katie is wearing the new Allison top by BB Dakota, a Pyrrha necklace she got as a gift, 

and a pair of Hue leggings, which she adores.

For that special someone...or a treat for yourself

- It's -

“I love you also means I love you more than anyone loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you, and also, I love you in a way that I love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.” 

― Jonathan Safran Foer
