The Art of Layering

 

When you live in Alberta, you know that the weather from one day to the next can change on a dime.

At Tattered Rose, our philosophy is to sell clothing that is mostly for year-round wear. Sure, we DO bring in some lighter weight clothing for Spring and heavier clothing for Fall. But in general, we prefer to offer all weights of clothing all year 'round so that our customers have choices.

Layering is one great way to dress for almost any temperature. Coats, jackets and shirts layered over camisoles and t-shirts give you options. And we LOVE the look of layering. If you're not sure how to wear layers, we're here to help!

Happy Spring/Fall/Summer♥

Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life!

 

Tattered Rose is open today and Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm. Until the Covid restrictions are fully lifted, we will have these slightly reduced hours.

BUT, what we can accomplish in our short hours is amazing!

We have new arrivals in the store and more on the way, including the star coat shown.

Happy Spring.

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.
