<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We've been discussing how to go about naming the <a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/designers/rubymac/" target="_blank">RubyMac</a> dresses for a while. I wanted to make it easy by giving each individual style its own name, rather than a style number. Since I'm often the one answering when people call regarding things they've seen on our website, I know it can be kind of awkward trying to explain the item you're talking about. Our product names are usually just descriptions, so logically, you describe the item you see in the picture. It's so much easier when that item has a name -- the "umm... can you give me the SKU of that item?" moment is erased. That makes it easier for all. We've named the fabrics as well, so if you call and tell us you want the Lundy Dress made in Pop Garden, we'll know exactly what you're talking about without you having to describe anything at all. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Ok, so I just explained why they're named rather than telling you where the names came from. My original idea was that we'd name them after current employees, former employees, and employees' pets (since the whole line is named after our pets). That idea went out the window pretty fast though. We don't have many employees, and we have a lot of dresses! So, Siobhan and I sat down in her office with this mission in mind. Within moments, we both had the same idea -- Let's give all of the dresses Irish and Scottish names! We're by no means experts, so hopefully the googling of Gaelic and Celtic names in addition came up with accurate results.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">McAuley is Scottish. Quigley is Irish (which is Siobhan's last name & my maiden name).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Siobhan's name is Irish. My name (Kelin) is Irish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sure, eventually, we'll be down to the names that just look like a ton of vowels squished next to each other, but for right now the idea works. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Extra: Remember Dexter? The cute little guy I posted a picture of in the last blog? Well, Siobhan named him that partially because his ears are the same color as the hair of the Showtime series character Dexter. Call me cheesy, but when we came across the names Lundy and Quinn (both of Gaelic origin), I knew it was meant to be!</span></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466610208125570578.post-54853356248310362762012-03-03T12:00:00.000-08:002012-03-03T12:00:05.162-08:00My favorite dresses...<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I'm sure a lot of you are wondering, "What's the deal with RubyMac?" So, here's the story...<br />First, I'm sure many of you have noticed that every boutique seems to stock the same items. It's a constant struggle to remain unique in this business, especially in a local economy that's unable to support the designer brands we used to carry (and still adore). We spend countless hours looking for one specific thing that just has to be out there somewhere -- Just waiting for us to find it. Sometimes we luck out, sometimes we don't. Depending on factories in China (or any other far-away place) to send items to our vendors in order for them to reach us in time for YOUR most important events is terribly frustrating for us, and certainly for you!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So, that's the reasoning behind the development of RubyMac. The seed was first planted in my mind briefly in October of 2010. One day Missy said to me, "How hard can it be?" Months passed before I thought of it again. Over the past decade that McAuley's has been in business, Anderson has changed, the economy has definitely changed, and our customers have changed. I was becoming increasingly frustrated at the thought of being just another retail store. That's not what McAuley's is supposed to be, but most people no longer have the means to support what McAuley's used to be. We had to become something new. To answer the question that gave me the idea in the first place.... Harder than you think! The economic events of the past several years have impacted every industry differently, and apparel was hit harder than I realized. With so many companies outsourcing both materials and manufacturing in order to save money, what we're trying to do has become more challenging than I expected. This process has given me a greater understanding of how important it is to support local businesses and buy products made in the USA. If you don't, they literally disappear! That's why all of our dresses are being made right here in South Carolina.<br /><br />Anyway, on to happier subjects... The name: Fall is our busiest time of year. Yes, busier than Christmas. Clemson football is our biggest selling point! That was going on at the same time I was preparing for my wedding and trying to come up with a name for our clothing line. Then one day Missy comes to my office and says, "I know what the name is... It came to me in a dream." A dream. Really? I sit and brainstorm for hours at a time and she thinks the name that came to her in a dream is going to be the winner? I was hesitant, but I asked what it was anyway. She said RubyMac. I wish I could take credit for it... It's pretty brilliant. Ruby is my beloved Schnauzer. Mac is Missy's Yorkie. <br />Our babies. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">You see, being a part of a small business (especially retail) means that you don't have a lot of personal time. You constantly feel like you're disappointing your family, and you don't have much time for friends. Our dogs are always there. They don't hold grudges, and they love us unconditionally. They say that having a pet can add years to your life, and I definitely believe it. When I've had a horrible day, my little Ruby Doodle can still make me smile. She hops around singing, and her entire body wiggles every single night when I get home. Knowing that a furry little creature loves you that much is quite heart warming.<br /><img height="136" src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg129/mcauleyboggs/rubymaccolor.jpg" width="320" /><br />As for the logo, my friends at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BlackWhisker" target="_blank">BlackWhisker</a> (who also designed my Starry Night wedding invitations which are available from their Etsy shop) custom designed it for me with very little direction. I had mentioned wanting to incorporate a sketch of Siobhan's dog Dexter in the design, but it wasn't a requirement. I really had no idea what I wanted, or how you would incorporate a dog anyway, so when I saw it I was thrilled. Now, I'm not a person who's typically pleased with the first draft of anything, but the outline of the dog got a true smile out of me. Just so Dexter doesn't feel left out, here's his picture:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I initially planned on posting pictures of dresses as well, but it's getting late so I'll have to save that for after I return from fabric shopping for the next batch of RubyMac originals! Oh, and I still have to tell you how the dresses are being named!</span></div>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4466610208125570578.post-62518587731554950502012-02-16T14:12:00.000-08:002012-02-16T14:12:56.244-08:00Your results are in...

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know about ya'll, but Christmas really creeped up on me this year!! I feel like it was just Thanksgiving! Here it is, 4 days before Christmas Day, and I am no where near done with my shopping (and I'm sure I'm not the only one!) We have tons of great last-minute gift ideas at McAuley's this season! These little wallets have zippered compartments and even a strap that can turn them into wristlets! It also comes in black!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are always certain things that remind me of Christmas and really put me into the spirit of the season, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite things!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Christmas holidays are just around the corner, and so are those holiday parties!! One of our favorite embellishments of the season is always sequins! Add a little extra dazzle to your wardrobe by jumping on the sequin trend! This trend is showing up literally everywhere this season! From nail polishes, to shoes, but is most popular with dresses, tops, and skirts for all of those holiday get-togethers!! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For those who are wanting to go all-out and bold with the season's hottest trend, a fully sequined dress is the epitome of glam! So if you want to grab the spotlight, glistening with sequins can be a great option! We still have several of the dress below just waiting to be the star of your next party! </span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/aryn-k-black-sleeveless-sequin-cocktail-dress-5064"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/55263.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Unsure about wearing all-over sequins?! Opt for a more subtle shimmer by choosing one sequined piece for your outfit like a blouse, or tank, that adds a pop of sparkle to basic skinnies or tuck it into a skirt for a more dressy feel. It gives you a glam, yet not over-the-top elegant look! You could also go for a mini-skirt decked in shiny metallics! The gold sequined skirt below is so versatile and doesn't have to be reserved for holidays only! </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's rather hard to believe that Thanksgiving is almost here! I feel like this year has absolutely flown by! Since everyone is starting to get into the holiday spirit, I though I would share a few Thanksgiving ideas this week, along with, a CUTE outfit idea!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Who doesn't look forward to the wonderful meal that is always promised by this holiday? Besides getting to see lots of family we don't see very often, the meal is my favorite part!</span></div>

I was on Pinterest a few days ago and found a super easy idea for little Thanksgiving cookies! You just take a Keebler fudge stripe cookie, turn it upside down, put a little icing in the middle, and stick a mini-Reese's cup on top! Add an orange chiclet and you have an easy, tasty Pilgrim hat dessert! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now, I don't know about anyone else, but when I am planning my Thanksgiving outfit, there are 2 requirements: a. Cute and Stylish b. Expandable! We all know everyone usually ends up eating a little too much and I hate being uncomfortable in my own clothes! So, you can still look super fashionable while having a little room to fit in all of your Thanksgiving dinner favorites! Below is an entire outfit put together that is comfy, yet still stylish! It would be easy to re-create this outfit with pieces you already have since it is based on a neutral color palette! </div>

Big collars and wide arms are just a couple of the details we have seen popping up in the fashion world lately. Take for instance this beautiful, Aryn K. cream colored coat. It has a just-above-the-knee length with a high collar, giving you a long-lean line.<br />
<a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/aryn-k-cream-high-collar-coat-4717"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/54489.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
This next style of coat always has been, and probably always will be, popular because of its classic styling. Make a statement and jazz it up a little bit by putting on this red double-breasted coat with pockets!<br />
<a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/red-double-breasted-coat-4934"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/55050.jpg" /></a><br />
Ponchos really seem to be all the rage this season! For those of you who love your little black coats but want to add a little more style, this black poncho with a precious tie-front bow gives it a fun girly-feel!<br />
<a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/double-zero-black-poncho-jacket-4981"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/55102.jpg" /></a><br />

Are you tired of your same old, boring outfits? Does your wardrobe lack fun, colorful pieces? Don't think you have to go out and buy expensive new clothes, just add-on some fun things here and there to give your outfits a little extra flair!</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Notice how boring the plain black turtleneck below would have been had she not added this cute scarf that can be seen here: <a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/bluepink-multi-stripe-scarf-4997"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/55142.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Another really easy way to add some edgy flair to your outfit is through patterned tights! Ones like those shown below look super cute with many different boot styles, skirts, and dresses! Dress them up or down... the choice is yours!!
<a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/memoi-linear-pointelle-tights-in-black-4893"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/54914.jpg" /></a>
<br />
<br />
My personal favorite way to make an outfit really pop is through fun jewelry! There are endless ways of accessorizing with necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings! These gold chandelier earrings are basic enough to pair with virtually any color or style, but still have that pretty flair you are looking for in earrings! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Don't have a lot of time to spend on fixing your locks? There are so many cute, different ways to style your hair that require little to no styling skills at all!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzSyAcNHl6JrsnfE0lpwBA-Tb3ihOonnIBRikk26VQmtPChNW6RkRkL49YSMTLuK5tQYiBGH9UJ0VzhO27Cm48MVbC7dWJhLBYN-BdEEtndjR4NuOWd8GhXrjdvxcbEqXVetS19DL_Kzf7/s1600/SwwetTwistPinVariationHowTo.jpg"></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdaqd6UDmC1Fw2Fyf5no2gfcFoP3pZ2EwTt_myr0IcVqfcV7XJCHSrioQ5nIi70FFO7d7rCL3QuRD4u-64cczQbr98sEaEE_9W6jdScMQvrroyUX31FfPVYG7sOBsL3evV8vMJY0rkOhDH/s1600/SwwetTwistPinVariationHowTo.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 188px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 340px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667841995883141410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdaqd6UDmC1Fw2Fyf5no2gfcFoP3pZ2EwTt_myr0IcVqfcV7XJCHSrioQ5nIi70FFO7d7rCL3QuRD4u-64cczQbr98sEaEE_9W6jdScMQvrroyUX31FfPVYG7sOBsL3evV8vMJY0rkOhDH/s320/SwwetTwistPinVariationHowTo.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Take for instance this sweet little twist and pin! It's perfect for those days when you just want to hit the snooze button one more time but still want to look presentable for work or school! Start by parting your hair on the side. Then take a small section of hair from behind your left ear, twist and pin it to your neckline. Do the same for behind your right ear. Lastly, separate the rest of your hair equally and repeat!<br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center">I found this next little style floating around on pinterest, and it looks too easy NOT to try!

McAuley's has always been known for showing you several different ways of wearing individual pieces in order to give you unique outfits, as well as the most possible use out of your purchases (therefore giving you the most for your money). That concept is what led us to the Outfit of the Day! Almost every day, we're posting a complete look <em><u>and</u></em> giving a one day only discount on some (if not all) of the pieces that make up the outfit. Now that you know exactly what the purpose is behind the Outfit of the Day, I wanted to share today's look with you:<br />

<center>We got in lots of new arrivals today! Unfortunately, we were a little short-staffed, so we didn't get to take pictures of everything on one of our employees yet. We've got a few new arrivals that will be posted to facebook tonight, but in the meantime, here are some of the items we didn't have a chance to photograph yet!<br /><br />
<img height="400" src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg129/mcauleyboggs/IMG_1993.jpg" width="300" /><br />Just because this new dress from Envi has a little purple & orange in it doesn't mean that it has to be reserved for gamedays AT ALL! It's great for just about anything and can be dressed up or down. Here, we've shown it on our mannequin with our <a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/orange-basic-stretch-belt-4798">basic orange belt</a>, but it comes with a sash of its own if you're not into belts.<br /><br />
<img height="400" src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg129/mcauleyboggs/IMG_2011.jpg" width="300" /><br />Here's another dress from Envi... This one is a faux wrap style in a blue & grey leopard print that's very versatile.<br /><br />
<img height="400" src="http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg129/mcauleyboggs/IMG_1995.jpg" width="300" /><br />You'll get to see how adorable this Sao Paulo skirt is tomorrow when we take a picture of it on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Miss-Aiken-SC-USA-2012-Jennifer-Young/244994942190412?ref=ts">Jennifer</a> (She's Miss Aiken SC USA and will be competing in the Miss SC USA pageant next month -- click her name and you'll be taken to her facebook page).<br /><br />
Don't worry Clemson fans, we didn't forget about you! <br />

It is one of my favorites because it is so easy to use animal prints to dress up an otherwise boring, plain outfit! Last week we got in a huge shipment of tights, including LEOPARD print tights! They are super adorable, and even the celebs like Kourtney Kardashian are loving the leopard print!<br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiTdyEx3T_HHE86rWMwvCq3vlum3NjLgS7_gUu1w2xIwNa0wtW_pBAhonC0SzrAlQSPTWFE__tg33y6Fq0BxRLQiRrgVPsX7FKjri231ZrpZfJ19UqqFCWns5fffGJ7pCK8-qXl-77N_7M/s1600/Kardashian+leopard+tights.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 214px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662662995825094338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiTdyEx3T_HHE86rWMwvCq3vlum3NjLgS7_gUu1w2xIwNa0wtW_pBAhonC0SzrAlQSPTWFE__tg33y6Fq0BxRLQiRrgVPsX7FKjri231ZrpZfJ19UqqFCWns5fffGJ7pCK8-qXl-77N_7M/s320/Kardashian+leopard+tights.jpg" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoJ3CIGkqAHvE8qiBVGmQn7Zgqya_fJVxW2IBbiIgoiDxuijOgK-1R296c-2U5VsPlEoCmfXoR90gJY3nFzc6fEAJonZBwvyawwNZB4kGj18Qh2lrMc1moSogt2ug-zxZai2Kk-put-1jO/s1600/leopard+leggings.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662663250915040466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoJ3CIGkqAHvE8qiBVGmQn7Zgqya_fJVxW2IBbiIgoiDxuijOgK-1R296c-2U5VsPlEoCmfXoR90gJY3nFzc6fEAJonZBwvyawwNZB4kGj18Qh2lrMc1moSogt2ug-zxZai2Kk-put-1jO/s320/leopard+leggings.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="center">Another fun, yet easy way to wear the trend is by throwing on accessories like scarves. Not only do they keep your neck warm when it's cool out, but they add a little punch of fun! For some reason, animal print scarves have always made outfits look more upscale and expensive without the expensive price tag!</p></center><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx59a3QUxwq1ZKYEsA2rJ5iOddOOyQtWspoAiO2ycOlt5rbFAUCWq9IBohBY0cRGUSbxCYxTzYC8K_Ki8eiEsVurHZd3XXtMD68fOaNN0OZvlK_TPCuFC8fQ63x5omY7rv7ubaGzQDJsek/s1600/animal+print+scarf.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662664416434216194" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx59a3QUxwq1ZKYEsA2rJ5iOddOOyQtWspoAiO2ycOlt5rbFAUCWq9IBohBY0cRGUSbxCYxTzYC8K_Ki8eiEsVurHZd3XXtMD68fOaNN0OZvlK_TPCuFC8fQ63x5omY7rv7ubaGzQDJsek/s320/animal+print+scarf.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="center">If you're a little more daring and like to be bold with your outfits, try going with an all-over animal print dress! The one shown below is a Laundry by Design piece that is flattering for virtually all skin colors and body types! It's also super comfy! </p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMM80yWeTO26qOpeCwd7IHegPopFDSUtzLA-k564K47k843624ei02j4459WOVjcu_wIBA2cuQ7H9ItDo0jtdOopPah9UboO_22C-dVE1t-nbyv-3IyByhxAh6fmeds4NMawOZmN9oi4N_/s1600/animal+laundry+dress.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/laundry-by-design-pleat-cowl-dress-4486"><img src="http://www.shopmcauleys.com/catalog/53981.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><p align="center">Don't forget that throughout the month of October, McAuley's is hosting a Question of the Day contest on facebook!

I found an old picture frame at a local thrift store that had no glass or anything with it for only $2! I hate that I didn't take a before picture because it was truly hideous: gold paint that was chipping and turning green... completely gross-looking! I knew this piece had potential, it just needed a little primer, paint, and glaze! I had seen some picture on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Etsy</span> and different blogs about people turning old frames into earring holders by adding a piece of screen to the back of the frame. If you are like me and have entirely too many earrings and no where to store them, this will be the perfect <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">DIY</span> for you!<br /><br /><br /><center>I definitely recommend using spray <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kilz</span> primer. It is so easy to spray your pieces instead on using a brush and trying to get in all the little nooks and crannies if your piece has lots of detail. You can get it for around $7 at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Walmart</span> or Lowe's, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">there</span> will be plenty left for several projects.<br /><br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaI8g0hC9ec1m2nyiKvkhedmLAk7SkCvS9SiwEWTgeWVz3LThLCFE3in17vGKF1S8gdpg2lSbewzMeU0YRrLDCZd3IyZqyWoBuIqyqWtoA8u2Bv72PN77HTH9nsRNZsIow-_d_GtO9Tzux/s1600/kilz-primer-and-sealer-10004.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660058843278456162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaI8g0hC9ec1m2nyiKvkhedmLAk7SkCvS9SiwEWTgeWVz3LThLCFE3in17vGKF1S8gdpg2lSbewzMeU0YRrLDCZd3IyZqyWoBuIqyqWtoA8u2Bv72PN77HTH9nsRNZsIow-_d_GtO9Tzux/s320/kilz-primer-and-sealer-10004.jpg" /></a></p>I started out by spraying my frame with 2 coats of this primer. It doesn't take too long to dry, only about an hour or so. Once it was completely dry, I started spraying on my color: <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Krylon</span> Ocean Blue. I had seen a ton of projects in the blog world done in this color and knew I just had to try it! <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Krylon</span> makes a ton of different spray paint colors. I found this one at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Walmart</span> for about $4 and there is plenty left to do about 5 more earring holders!<br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kcUPoU0u2tcW1c8HMRhN3OidxR-aXipVLA-nsCWc2ssJSbKfuL6XXpXMI08tQ3hZt264WCGxka1tt9FSGerc70B4kaY940oezfpoVzChrenDh0rzKJeh3ueQwjjRmfJOzu1T-kqnFDLM/s1600/krylon+ocean+breeze.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 265px; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5660059348237251218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-kcUPoU0u2tcW1c8HMRhN3OidxR-aXipVLA-nsCWc2ssJSbKfuL6XXpXMI08tQ3hZt264WCGxka1tt9FSGerc70B4kaY940oezfpoVzChrenDh0rzKJeh3ueQwjjRmfJOzu1T-kqnFDLM/s320/krylon+ocean+breeze.jpg" /></a></p><br /><br /><br /><center>Once the paint was finished drying, I added a piece of screen that I found from an old door underneath my house. I measured the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">amount</span> I would need and used gorilla glue to hold it in the back. If you have a staple gun you could probably use that too, but my frame was a bit fragile and I didn't want to risk cracking it.<br /><br /><br /><center>The next step is completely optional: glazing your piece! I love the shabby-chic look that the glaze gives it. I used <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Valspar</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Tintable</span> Glaze from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lowes</span> with a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">coffee</span>-bean colored tint added. The can of glaze is a little more expensive: about $15, but i used a tiny, tiny amount for this project and have so much left for future uses! I really just <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">globbed</span> it on the frame, let it sit for about 10 minutes and then wiped away the excess with an old rag. You can leave as much or as little glaze on there as you would like, and it's really easy to add more! The glaze takes a little longer to dry.

Take tweed for example; it used to be that women seen in tweed were viewed as matronly and frumpy. Now, if worn properly, it can look elegant and sophisticated while still being fun! I think people of by-gone eras of tweed just weren't sure how to wear it. Take a look at these poor groomsmen from the 70's:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuoHlH7y4Gi3YoOuA18P4hq-rjYTB8zXeo8PFxrkvjCSuTeGTS6UhzcVoLD-0M20TTjOrI-n4FS9Hg3pywqDLTEr_-isIBHAhjYUcqfuZga-csEG6FSqkrEeemyUkeMX4mNDwdShD_QjA0/s1600/bad+tweed.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 257px; HEIGHT: 196px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654540216783700466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuoHlH7y4Gi3YoOuA18P4hq-rjYTB8zXeo8PFxrkvjCSuTeGTS6UhzcVoLD-0M20TTjOrI-n4FS9Hg3pywqDLTEr_-isIBHAhjYUcqfuZga-csEG6FSqkrEeemyUkeMX4mNDwdShD_QjA0/s320/bad+tweed.jpg" /></a><br /><br />One classic, iconic trend setter who actually wore tweed very well during her time was Jackie O. I don't think I have ever seen an ugly picture of her!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinEmp_bdx4Cit45J84_Fe7BZTIyiLnqg_eN13jBIVyDxlo6TCpTaUOq-fl1NEEaaSWlWT1dMJKOI3yWro1UMyh5O1fuDYIrhSOqCHelwCR_592pDHDdHGQKPvOVXZS7Cz7U_zgnudKCzEZ/s1600/jackie-o-show1.jpeg"><img style="WIDTH: 182px; HEIGHT: 320px" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654540693527017138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinEmp_bdx4Cit45J84_Fe7BZTIyiLnqg_eN13jBIVyDxlo6TCpTaUOq-fl1NEEaaSWlWT1dMJKOI3yWro1UMyh5O1fuDYIrhSOqCHelwCR_592pDHDdHGQKPvOVXZS7Cz7U_zgnudKCzEZ/s320/jackie-o-show1.jpeg" /></a><br /><br />If you're thinking about trying to add some tweed to your wardrobe for the fall, don't be afraid, just don't overdo it! Add a simple tweed jacket to a plain skirt, or take a solid color top and add some flair with a tweed skirt like the one we just got in!
