life goes on...

Okay, so the world's a mess. Go BUY A DRESS! Seriously, I have not taken over Vogue as written by the Bush Administration. The markets crash, the sky is falling, the world is about to stop rotating on it's axis. Guess what-you still have to go to work tomorrow. And that wedding you're going to-it's still happening. And your 50th birthday party -uh huh-trust me, if I could stop that one, I'd be as loaded as your guests at your open bar. It's where you chose to spend it that makes all the difference. When it's right-when is looks fabulous, fits perfectly, and most of all, has supreme purpose, that's perfection in a nutshell. A love supreme. So many times this week, I heard women say "I love my pants", "I love my clothes-they're so special", "I'm so happy I did this". Well, I love my job because of it, and that doesn't sound like the Apocalypse to me. But talk to me Wednesday.....

for a few dollars less......

Say you've got s new potential job offer. And you need a fast makeover. And Tim Gunn's out of the question, because you think he and his kind are the anti-Christ. What do you do? Do you go to Neiman Mark-up, and blow $150,000? Nah-You come to see Jennifer Butler(that's me), and despite the fact that I'd be tempted to tell you we're all God's children- sisters and brothers, brothers who want to be sisters, brothers who dress better than their sisters, etc.- but I don't because I don't believe in mixing clothes and state. Instead, I'd tell you you can't buy style. But you can leave the styling to me, you can look great, and feel great about yourself, get in touch with your true best self, and I can get you there. For a lot less than $150,000. It will take more than a day, and a three store shopping spree. But you'll love your clothes, and you'll have them for a really long time, and they'll fit like a glove. And they will reflect you at your best.
And okay, okay, while we're on the subject-I must say, the boots gave her away that she was under outside influence. No one in Alaska with that hairdo has 4" heel patent pointy toe boots. Unless she's being a "naughty witch" for Halloween-oh-hey....come to think of it.....

Yes! A Dress!

Fifteen minutes to get ready this morning-how to cope? A forgotten dress! I told myself I would wear what's on the floor this season- not the bedroom, the store- and I had forgotten about this great jersey dress, printed, easy, and fifteen minutes, shower to door. More than ever, with all the stress we are under these days, the faster we can get out the door looking pulled together, the better. I love the versatility of a skirt and jacket, or jersey, but I did some great dresses this summer, and have carried it through to fall. Check out the show under see the latest show on the website, and better yet, pop in the store, and see how easy looking fabulous in a snap can be

That's right- I have a blog...

Work, work, work...no time to think-Hey, I should run for office! A friend just linked his blog to mine, and I realized I haven't had time to post in quite some time, since every Friday I am amazed it's Friday again, since wasn't it just Saturday, and wow, look, I'm 80 now! Anyway, I'm sure many of us feel that way, but you know what makes it better? Perfect pants. And a cocktail dress. At least that's the story around here. We've been busy filling orders and doing fittings, but will soon be posting the photos from the fall show, in case you didn't make it. In the meantime, if you didn't make the show, stop my the store, and see what you missed. It's my favorite collection ever- smart, gorgeous, and full of surprises.
