Notes On: Paying it Forward
Posted by

This morning Summit Credit Union came to me with a similar campaign and left a ten dollar bill hidden in one of the Atticus fitting rooms with a message for the lucky finder to use it to help someone else. Moments later, a gust of wind knocked over a recycle bin on the curb in front of the shop and hundreds of papers started blowing all over the sidewalk. Stephani and I immediately ran out to help pick up the sudden mess, and within seconds we were joined by about 15 passersby who stopped to help. At the risk of sounding super cheesy, I have to tell you that I actually felt like my heart was swelling at the thought of so many people taking five minutes of their time to help clean up our street. So, setting aside the cynical humor you surely have become accustomed to as a reader of our blog, I want to remind you that sometimes it's nice to give a random gift, or to help a fragile model if she happens to fall on the Prada runway.
Here is my random gift to you:
Use the code: PAYITFORWARD at atticusshop.com to receive 15% off your entire purchase (including sale items!!). If you're in Madison, mention this post at Atticus to receive 15% off your entire purchase. This is only good through Friday, May 7th. So, hurry up before your luck runs out, and don't forget to pay it forward by sharing the news with your friends!

On the way to work this morning, I let my feelings about how I looked be known with the comment,"I might as well die...I hate my outfit." That may have been a little dramatic, but I really just didn't feel good about my staple Nicole Richie go-to outfit today.
The minute I got to work, I ransacked the racks and tried on all of my current Atticus favorites (Relwen men's shirts, Charlotte Ronson dresses and Filippa K Tanks) and the winner was the Loomstate La Paloma Jumper.
Even though I told myself I was going to stop shopping, it's impossible to feel guilty about this outfit. It looks so good, in fact, that I didn't even have to justify the purchase to Kristin (who already told me she'll be borrowing it...a lot).

Accessories Report

On the bracelet front, I'm partial to Jessica Kagan Cushman, (see my favorite here) but for those not akin to wearing their hobbies on their (literal) sleeve, rings are an equally statement making route. Outrageously over sized, double knuckled or anything extravagant will do. House of Harlow corners the market on affordable costume pieces, but if you're looking for something a bit more haute, Giles and Brother's handcrafted charmers are nothing short of mini masterpieces.
Perfect for warmer weather when clothes start coming off, your accessories can take the main stage.

Come and knock on our door

Last night however, something caught my eye and I sat up with rapt attention. "Oh my god," I said aloud to no one. "I'm totally digging Chrissy's style!" Her blend of playful rompers, teeny-tiny short shorts and striking mix of colors and textures spoke to me. One commercial break later and I was furiously taking notes, planning how I'll be biting her style this summer. Here are a few looks I decided on:

- Wide leg, high-waist pants with slouchy tucked in tees, or cropped tops and vests
- Obscenely short shorts paired with wedges and socks
- Jumpers and one piece play suits
- And of course, there's room in any wardrobe for a little glitz, even if happens to be in a dream sequence
