I spotted Tia downtown, at Court Avenue and 4th St.
The Look: A classic 50’s style cotton midi dress is perfect for Tia’s Sunday transition from church to a downtown brunch date. She makes it her own by adding key details like the yellow skinny belt and other great pops of color, such as pastel sea-foam blue nails and gold bangles from Cambodia. By the way, this dress has pockets, which are admirably practical, sure, but also such an interesting style boost. Simply by putting her hands in her pockets, Tia can’t help but look confident.
When asked to define her style, Tia had this to say:
“Casually sophisticated. I usually tend toward more classic pieces because they never go out of style, and that’s what I’m most comfortable in. I prefer to be effortlessly stylish, and most importantly, comfortable and not overly done-up.”
Her favorite places to shop?
“Almost anywhere and everywhere. To be more specific, Ross, Ann Taylor, Target, TJMaxx, and a few random consignment shops in Memphis. You can really find some treasures in there. I once found an Escada couture pencil skirt in perfect condition for only $7!”
