This is an amazing place. Yes, it looks elegant and boutiquey and you might think it's going to only have super elegant things--which it does, of course--but it also has amazingly beautiful, affordable everyday wear. I've gotten some of my favorite shirts there--machine washable, stretchy, looks great under suits, and has that designer flair.
And yes, I've broken down and gotten one of the embroidered silk jackets. Given the beauty of the fabric, the workmanship and style, again, they're very affordable. And considering I am still wearing it and getting compliments 3 years later, it's well worth the investment! It works with everything and delivers both comfort and that look of casual elegance I like to have. While Yeats may have declared that "we must labor to be beautiful" we don't need to look it.
