Pinch Hitter

I realized after making my Fall Must Have list, that I left off a key player.  While sitting barside at Bill’s Bar & Burger (R.I.P. Hog Pit), a male friend was discussing a date from last week. He said it went great and it wasn’t because she was a Harvard grad or had great legs.  The first thing that came out of his mouth was, “She was wearing fur!” Yeah, I know, bizarre. However, my other male companion was equally enthusiastic about this statement. Hm..? Did her fur make him want to reach out and give her a bear hug or did she just look incredibly chic? Probably both.

I, myself, own a beautiful vintage mink fur (sorry, PETA, better than a coyote hat, right?). Here are a couple of options so you can give your next date some warm fuzzy feelings.

Basically, if a store could resemble my dream closet it would look like the inside of  Darling.  Owner, Ann French Emonts, a former costume designer for Broadway and theater, has really found a way to mix fashion forward pieces with chic vintage.  She has even created her own private label dress line that compliments Darling’s style.

From date tops and blouses, to dresses and skirts, Darling has got you covered.  Top off your latest fashion find with some carefully chosen accessories.  Not only will you look fantastic, you will not break the bank.  With tops ranging from $50-$225 and dresses from $98-$495, everyone can afford to look stunning.
