Distressed Jeans

 



Distressed (ripped and faded) denim jeans are making a strong comeback.

In the world that is Tattered Rose, they never really went away.

You either love 'em or hate 'em. But they DO go so well with so much of our clothing. We don't sell a lot of jeans but our Magnolia Pearl jeans are definitely distressed and gorgeous!

The juxtaposition of faded, distressed, laddered, ripped denim jeans with a beautiful, romantic top or coat is what we are all about.

They say that if you wore a trend the first time around, you shouldn't wear it the second (or third) time. But, since distressed denim has become a classic, I say there is a pair of distressed denim jeans for just about every woman and trends have nothing to do with that.

You choose the degree of distressing that works for you...and then you rock them!

Happy First Day of Spring!


We have all been through the wringer this past year! Welcoming Spring on it's first day in 2021 is a wonderful way to celebrate our tolerance, patience, love and determination as women.

I am am not living in fear any longer(because of the virus) and plan on living my life as close to normal as possible. There is such beauty in the world and fresh air to breathe freely and unencumbered.

I am inviting Tattered Rose customers and friends to come in for a visit either today or soon. We can have up to 4 people in the store at one time. 

Soon, we will have places to go and reasons to celebrate and in my mind, that always includes a bit of shopping.

We have some wonderful new pieces in the store....

Come and have a look. Wear your mask or not in my store.....if we social distance that is as safe as I want to be. I miss hugs and I miss my customers.


See you soon................♥

Duster, the Coat you Can Wear Like a Dress....

 


Since time began...no, let me fast forward to 1995.....since then, in my shop, I have always carried some type of duster.

There have been leather ankle coats like they wore in the movie "The Matrix"....there have been long velvet duster coats that Helena Bonham-Carter wears....lace and many other fabrics made into duster coats that can often be worn as a dress.

The DUSTER is such a versatile item to have in your wardrobe. Wear it relaxed and unbuttoned with jeans for that cool girl vibe. Wear it as a coat with for an evening out. Wear it as a dress if it has a button front. On the beach as a coverup...riding a horse....getting married...and a gazillion places and occasions in between.

At Tattered Rose, the duster will always be part of our repertoire.

Long live the DUSTER!

*The duster shown above comes with it's own little black dress! New in the shop...only 2 available.

Store Closed Today

 


Tattered Rose will be closed today but will definitely be open Friday and Saturday this week.

With this extreme cold, the heat does not work in our store, making it too uncomfortable for human beings.

It is warming up by tomorrow so we WILL be open Friday and Saturday 11 am to 3 pm for your Valentine's Day gift buying.

We truly apologize for any inconvenience.

Urban Romantic Clothing at Tattered Rose




 As long as Tattered Rose has been around (since 1999) we have presented our customers with feminine clothing with an edge. That "edge" is the juxtaposition of hard and soft, feminine and masculine, old-world and new-world.

Magnolia Pearl is only one of the lines we carry but it seems like we were made for each other...

Tattered Rose + Magnolia Pearl = Urban Bohemian Gypsy Romantic.

Our shop is bountiful this winter, with a carefully curated collection of the most beautiful, artisan, pretty clothing we have and will always carry.

It's a lot to ask you to come in for a visit when the thermometer is dipping to such low lows but when it warms up a bit, we hope you can make a point of stopping by during our Covid-shortened hours:

Wednesday to Saturday 11 am to 3 pm

Until then....take care, stay warm and well.
