Has it really been a whole year?

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a whole year since I wrote my first (and only) blog entry!  Well, here it is, at long last, entry #2, (hopefully there will be more than one post this year!)

First and foremost, thank you to all of our loyal customers for supporting us this year.  It has been a rough several months,  and we know that without you, we wouldn’t still be opening our doors every morning.  We are so thankful and so blessed to be able to work with and get to know not only our local customers, but also our online community of customers.  You all have very good taste.  Ha!

Secondly, we  find ourselves in the somewhat strange situation of needing to clear out some inventory to make room for new summer lines, and new FALL lines that will start coming by the end of July!   Usually in the summer we go gangbusters from the time we open until the time we close–but we’ve noticed that tourism here in Williamsburg is WAY down, which is too bad, because it’s a sweet, lovely place to visit!  We have Busch Gardens, Great Wolf Lodge, Colonial Williamsburg, and Richmond and Norfolk are each only an hour away!  So come on down (or up, or over)!

Whew, I got all carried away talking about my home for the past 11 years.  On to more exciting things-the inventory-clearing part of this post: through July 5th only, use coupon code USABDAY to save 20% on EVERYTHING on our site: www.wear-else.com.  Yes, that means everything, including new merchandise, sale merchandise, etc.  The sale will run through the end of the day on July 5th, which is a Sunday.  When we return to the store on Monday the 6th, we’ll fill orders in the order in which they were received.  You will be notified if anything on your order in unavailable.  All sales are final, so shop carefully, and call with any questions!!

We wish you all a safe, happy and healthy 4th of July.  Happy Shopping!

July 2008

Hello, this is very first blog entry! How exciting, and what a wonderful way to spend a hot, sticky day…in a nice air-conditioned boutique!

Here at ?wear else, we enjoyed a beautiful spring and are now experiencing the hot, humid weather Williamsburg is known for!? So you know what that means… linen, linen, linen! Can you believe we still have customers who are trying linen for the first time?? We always direct first-timers to FLAX, our best-selling, bread-and-butter line for the past 10 years!? It fits everyone, it’s washable and dryable, and above all, cute, cute, cute.

We have a store FULL of Flax right now–well, a little less than we had yesterday, when 2 lovely Norwegian sisters came to visit and dropped several krona on their whirlwind trip through the States!? Tusen takk!

We carry lots of other beautiful lines, like Krista Larson, Cynthia Ashby, Rundholz, Bryn Walker, Skif, Gerties, Staley Gretzinger, Naot, Three Dot, Catherine Doll, Amy Brill….we could go on and on! As many of you know, Cass (my mom) and I own the store together, do all the buying together, pretty much do everything together–and we share a passion for amazing, creative, unique, comfortable clothes.? We go to market at least 5 times a year, and love every minute of it!? We also love providing excellent customer service to not only our local customers, but also our online customers, so don’t hesitate to call or email us if we can help you at all!
