Mapel's In Heart With.....

We have fallen head over heels for our Lanston and Krissa collection. The same fierce woman designer heads both brands. She created two collections so each could have a strong aesthetic that reads different from the other. Krisa is her sweetly feminine and sophisticated collection while Lanston is a bit more urban chic.

This month the hot ticket item has been Krisa's Linen pants. Available in Moss, White & we just got in Black (not yet on the site).They have a full Italian inspired Palazzo pant look. The slightly lower waistline makes your rear look Great (which isn't easy to do in linen pants) and the fullll leg opening is a fresh take on a predictable summer fabrication.

The favorite pairing with Krisa's linen pant is Lanston's Drape Back Tank. Available in White & Black. This top has the right amount of weight to be a little drapey without being too thin that it's see through. The open back detail is a little bit sexy but not overtly revealing. Most customer wear with a bra that can be visible from the back or a detailed bandeau top.

Here one of our favorite customers pairs the Krisa moss linen pants with a Lanston white drape back tank.

About Threads For Thought:

Style is an attitude; it is more than what we wear.

At Threads for Thought we use sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton and polyester recycled from plastic water bottles to create clothing that is comfortable, beautiful, and socially conscious; then we donate a portion of our proceeds to charity. What we wear is as important as what our clothes are made of, and where and how they are put together.

Spring Trends

70's Spring Trend

Is it Spring time already?  You would never know living here in Portland where it rains daily and the average temperature for April is 51 degrees.  Ok, now with that said... I love the 70's Spring Trend.  Being a child of the 70's I remember my mother dressing in colorful maxi dresses, color block dresses and skirts ( I called them "hippie"), halter tops, and patch blouses (she made me a flower patch blanket taking fabric scraps and creating each petal from different fabric). Her accessories were floral headpieces, bangles, and big bags.  To honor the 70's trend Mapel has a variety of dresses that lend themselves to the feel of being free, groovy and hip.These are some of our favorite 70's dresses.
