And New at FSB...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week- and thankfully, it's already Hump Day!! Here at FSB, we're super excited to offer a new feature! We'll now be showing how some of the clothes we've bought looks on real people! Lol! Enter Carly!
Carly is a Junior at Byrd High School, and we're so excited she has agreed to help show our wonderful customers how the clothes appear in real life! As we post pictures, we'll be letting y'all know what size she is wearing along with her height and shoe selection, so y'all can get a better feel for length and how the different pieces hang!  Hopefully, this will help you see how we would style different pieces and get a feel for the whole look! So get ready to see a little bit more of Carly! Stop by and see me sometime this week because we have put our some really fabulous things!!

Maxi Love!!

Well Happy Summer Y'all!! Things have been so busy lately, and the blog has sadly suffered! However, I'm back and ready get back into the swing of writing about my current obsessions!! 8)

First things first! As many of you may know we were fortunate enough to welcome a new Favorite Sister into the world! And with is being June, what a better way to celebrate than with Emma June!! 
To say the least, we're very much in love!! Momma and baby are both doing amazing! And I feel confident that Emma June will be as fashionable as her Aunt Lex if I've got anything to do with it!!

Now with the heat that comes with the summer months, choosing an outfit can very tedious! It's got to be just right because we don't want to melt throughout the day! Hence, my go to choice this time of year is the maxi dress because it's so versatile! I love that you can simply throw it on and make a statement with hardly any effort! 
However, there are a few rules you should try to remember: 
1. Check your length. You need to make sure you pick one that isn't too long or too short-it's got to be just right, hitting at the top of your your feet or just reaching the ground.
2. Pick a fit and print that is flattering to your body. The maxi dress can be a lot of material if you're small or curvy. Therefore, it's important to find one that shows off your best assests.
3.Try to show off one part of your body. Because your body is mostly covered, it's important to try to show off your arms or shoulders if at all possible.
4. And finally, choose your shoes based on the occasion.If it's not as dressy, go for a comfortable pair of sandals. However, if you need to dress it up, just throw on a pair of wedges. 
These are just some of the examples of the different maxi dresses we've got at the store! So if you don't have one, you need to get one in your closet soon and embrace this easy bohemian style! And if you stop by the store, you're likely to see any of the Favorite Sisters in one as well!! 
Hope to see you soon and enjoy this gorgeous weather! <3 Alex
