Just Arrived: New French Connection

French Connection is one of my favorite Contemporary collections. Fun pieces at moderate prices, it is easy for everyone to find something that interests them in the collection. We recently received a shipment of new pieces- here are some of my favorites:

Patterned Halter Top $88
Stretch Cotton leggings $48
Great Summer into Fall transition pieces. You can wear this outfit as is right now, and pair with a cardigan or jacket into the fall. These leggings are great year round! They are light weight and very durable. We'll sell out of the leggings fast, so come get a pair soon!

Multi-color print top $88
I love this piece! It is a great silk top that you can wear so many different ways. Pair it with a pair of white denim now, wear it with a jacket or cardigan into the fall and winter. These jewel tones look great on most people and it's machine washable!
Tribal Print Halter Dress $168
This dress has a really fun print and a great fit! The fabric is a light weight cotton so it is very comfortable and easy to care for. I recommend it for early fall college football games, nights on the town or a September wedding.
Strapless Red/Navy dress $148
This is one of those patterns that French Connection recycles every season. The reason why? IT LOOKS GREAT ON EVERYONE!!! I'm serious- this dress flatters all figures. It is a bit short, so it's not for the ultra-modest, but regardless of if you are a size 12 or 2, this dress is sure to make a statement at your next event. I love it because you can easily dress it up or down. Wear it with flip flops now for a casual summer event, pair it with a sweater, tights and boots into the fall. A good value for a great year around dress! We also have it right now in solid red, black, turquoise, and a print version.
Classic Red Dress $168
Another great French Connection Classic! We have had this dress in the past in different colors and it always manages to flatter and please! It is a great cut- not too short or too low- which makes it perfect for the office or an evening out. I love this dress because the possibilities for accessorizing are endless. It is a great canvas for that really great belt or stunning necklace. Once again, it is a good value because you can wear it year round and to multiple events.
Fun, Flirty Print Strapless $148
This dress is just so so cute! We have had it in for 3 days and have already sold 4 of them. I think this is an ideal dress for the young or the young at heart. Again, it is a bit short, but the seaming in the body will make your waist look tiny tiny! If you are small in the waist, but bigger in the hips, this would be a great dress for you. It will accentuate your small parts, and camouflage your trouble areas.
