It's about that time for "Back to School!" most of us students dread this time, but who doesn't love the back to school shopping part of this whole process?! At Shop 112, we have all your back to school needs like: 

> Cardigans: for those cold classrooms that we must sit in for an hour, with so many cute colors & prints, you won't have to freeze anymore, and with so many colors one is sure to match any outfit you wear! Also go great with uniforms if that is your dress code.

> Tote Bags: Not everyone is a "backpack person", so here at Shop 112 we have these super cute totes to hold your books around school, and in stripes! (who doesn't love stripes?!) Perfect for your books or a casual Saturday tote bag.

> Casual Necklaces: Now a days it's ALL about statement necklaces, but to school you probably don't want to be the shiniest one in the class, so we just received these perfect stone necklaces in three versatile colors, that go with (literally) any outfit but still make a subtle statement.

> Tops: Whether you like long sleeve or short sleeve, we have tops that are perfect for school, and are dress code friendly. These are a few tops that are selling fast at the shop and a crowd fav!

> Skirts: Along with the usual pants to school (which I'll feature in back to school pt. 2 post) skirts can also be cute for school, here are a few of the longer styles, that again, don't violate dress code violation, and go perfect with a top and cardigan. 

> Scarves: During fall scarves are the perfect staple for any outfit and in those pesky cold classrooms. With a variety of styles, colors, and designs, they are a sure choice for anyone's pick.

> Shoes: Walking around school all day can be tiring, and hurt your feet. Here are a few styles from the shop that are flats and are very comfortable, but also cute, and won't hurt your feet after being worn all day.

A Private Shopping Event!

Last night we had a "private shopping event" and took out all our absolute new arrivals! Fresh out of the box, hung up, and ready to be bought! We stayed open three hours after our usual closing and let customers come in and get a first glimpse at the latest trends we received! We had snacks, mini donuts, wine, and tons of fun! Right now we have a bunch of new things out and all for a great price! Perfect styles for the end of the summer and even some cute styles for pre-back to school shopping already. Come by and see everything we have: patterns, dresses, tops, bottoms.. we got it all!

How to Style our New Inventory!

One word to describe our new inventory: Eclectic! We received a bunch of brave new prints that are really cute as well as bold pieces. Perfect to end summer with and wear to that last getaway to the beach before the ever so popular back to school shopping begins. I've pictured a couple ways to wear our new attire and how I think it would be cute as well as tone down the bright prints. 

{playful print with simple lace tank // colorful skirt with toned down lace top}

{the simple lace tops that can easily be paired with almost anything ..versatile is the key!}

 {comfortable hippi-esque pants w/ a adorable lace 3/4 sleeve // more fun pants + chambray!}

The battle of the gladiator, your choice in brown & black! They go with almost any summer attire and are actually very comfortable and bigger on the calve area for us muscular girls! 

Last but not least for the outfits, this top is extremely playful, bold, easy to wear, and really comfortable. I paired it with some simple white shorts since the top speaks for itself. Very fun top to wear out with girlfriends, or just a normal casual day.

And per usual we got MORE maxi's for all you maxi lovers! I'm loving the one pictured to the furthest right with the roses, so fun and different!

A Dress For Every Occasion!

1.) This dress can be perfect for a themed party, like "cowboy/rodeo" kind! It will look so cute with cowboy boots or some flats! Loose and flow-y, this dress is ready for you to be twirled in! I added a belt to it to define the waist area since the top is flow-y and certain bodies will lose definition.
2.) This next dress is a more fancier dress and can be used for indoor weddings, as well as a fun outdoor wedding. A very versatile dress, it goes great with heels, flats, or even the ever so popular cowboy boots! This flow-y top flatters the chest area of us ladies and it add a nice flirtatious vibe. This look will go good with a cute chingnon hair style or a side bun.

3.) This fabulous "little hot pink dress" is a great dress for going out or a night out with girls! A very fun, flattering dress... it's perfect for dancing and looking great!
4.) This next dress reminds me of a "babydoll" look, super cute, with a little bit of sophistication added by the lace. This dress can be good for any occasion, a wedding, a party, Sunday's best, or even a dinner out at the beach.

5.) A dress every girl should own is a fun polka dot dress! This dress is flattering for every body type and is perfect also for every occasion. It can be used for Sunday's best, a party, girls night, anniversary's, and almost anything you can think of. What better way to spend a good amount of money on a dress than it being used for its fullest use!
6.) This fun maxi is great for the beach, but also can be "fancied" up for a great beach wedding, or just a casual day shopping around. It's a fun summer color and the ruffles add a great girly touch.

7.) An all time favorite dress at Shop 112 is the classy "Audrey Hepburn" dress, simple, classy, and the bow adds that feminine touch. A must have for ALL girls.
8.) This next dress is a super comfortable and is stretchy so it's perfect for all body types. I loved wearing this dress for just a normal day, and it received so many compliments. I think this dress is great for a casual dinner or to church, because it's perfect on the length on the legs and isn't too short.

9.) I love this fun dress, very twirl-y and flirt-y, it's great for a dinner out at the beach, or a fun summer party to attend. The fit is flattering and is waist defying so it's great for making our bodies look great!
