Happy Monday Lovies~

 

If you know anything about me, you know I love being a female.   I actually really enjoy it.

I grew up with three older brothers  –  yes, I was the Only Girl AND The Baby  in the family! – and a long list of male cousins.  Living in the country and close to family was such a gift  –  one I didn’t appreciate until those days were long gone.

There were endless afternoons of Barbie adventures, playing dress-up and paper dolls with my three favorite girl cousins and countless summer days of bike riding, fort building and swimming with all my boys.  So many summertime memories that fluctuated from gold glitter to go-carts and babydolls to dirt bikes.  By the time I was 16, I was the only girl I knew who could style her hair like Farrah Fawcett AND be the neighborhood quarterback with a perfect spiral . . . those were the days!!   I have always been both tomboy and girlie girl – which explains why I apply my make-up as I watch ESPN College Game Day during football season!!

The point is you have to be true to who you are!   You’re An ORIGINAL And That, My Friend, Is A GOOD Thing!

 

 

To be one of a kind in a world overflowing with duplication

is certainly a gift and a rarity.

Oh-So-Chic

 

Maybe that’s why I was drawn in to the style that Picadilly Canada presents.  They’ve been leading the way in fashion innovation for over 40 Years!  Their designs stand the test of time – proving to be classic pieces that remain relevant for years to come yet incorporating enough personality that each design transitions from office exec to office party without a hitch.

Picadilly Canada knows that the choice of leading the way isn’t always easier but is absolutely filled with reward as they continue to manufacture in their native Canada.  Their aim of consistent quality hits the mark every time along with customer service that Leaves Their Clientele Wearing Picadilly And A Smile!     

 

Sooo . . .  Let’s Talk About This FABULOUS  Dress !!

 

 

This LBD Is A New Arrival To  Picadilly Canada’s 2017 Line

I Fell In LOVE The Moment I Laid Eyes On It!

Classic With A Bit Of An Edge

 

 

True to Picadilly Canada fashion, this gorgeous piece is a classic cut with a modern twist.  Details are foundational in any Picadilly Canada design and this LBD does not disappoint.  Subtle embellishments at the hem and an unexpected asymmetrical cut take this dress from basic black to classically chic.

 

The modest length opens the door for almost any event – a quiet dinner to all-night dancing!  This little number takes All Occasion to another level!

 

I am always on the look-out for a great Little Black Dress.  And, yes, they are available at every turn but the reasons I chose this one are simple.  First, I love the weight of the fabric – a knit jersey with enough support to hold its shape and enough give to be extremely comfortable.  Secondly, it has sleeves!!  I realize I say this often but sleeves are SO important to me!!    Summer, Winter, Whatever – I always prefer a dress with a little sleeve!  And of course, last but not least, the fabulous design.  I, like most of you, don’t want to “see myself” coming and going so I love that the design is more than basic but not overly done.  Just SO CHIC!

A Leader In The Fashion Industry For 40 Years! 

Nothing Tops Experience In Excellence . . . Absolutely Nothing!!

 

And let’s just take a moment to talk about the fit.  I, of course, ordered this dress online and one just never knows without a proper try-on . . . however, I can honestly say this dress is a perfect fit.  I Mean Seriously Perfect!   This is where you can really begin to understand the quality construction of the garment.  Ordered online yet fits like a custom piece – that’s what 40 years will do for you!  Nothing Tops Experience In Excellence . . . Absolutely Nothing!!  

Picadilly Canada designers know the way to every woman’s heart!  They’ve done a magnificent job creating foundational pieces in rich neutrals and then taking a sharp turn as they incorporate beautiful color in pieces you’ll wear again and again!  Gorgeous Greys to Breathtaking Blues!  You may have quite a difficult time making your choices!!    The dress I’m wearing also comes in Royal Blue and is just gorgeous!!   Quite Honestly Thinking I May Have To Place Order #2!!   Decisions, Decisions . . . .

 

 

Picadilly Canada offers a huge selection of beautiful basics for daytime/ office wear.  BUT Don’t Expect the same ole same ole . . .  each piece has that signature Picadilly Canada design that takes quality and style to a whole new level – So much so, that many pieces are wonderfully transferrable to an “after hours” look, taking your wardrobe on a journey far beyond its purpose of purchase!!
