| Welcome to our October Newsletter |
 There is no denying that fall is here now. Celebrate the change of season with new clothes from KC's Boutique.
Fall and winter fashions from our major lines are in, so shop now to find new styles for cooler weather. Many of you already know that we only bring in one of each size per style, so you won't see yourself anywhere around town!
This month, we are featuring our local models once again - Carolyn, Deb, Jeannie, Marion and May - modelling fashions from our most popular lines. While many of these pieces are still available, they are selling out fast, so please remember that we cannot guarantee the availability of what we feature in the newsletter, on Facebook, or on the website. If you are loving what you see, hurry in and shop before it's too late!
Don't forget to sign up for our upcoming special events: the FDJ Fit Clinic this Thursday and the Joseph Ribkoff Trunk Show in November. Scroll down for details.

Plaid is Back
A common theme for fall is plaid, glen check or stripes in pants, skirts, jeans, jackets and sweaters. Remember last month's style tip? Every woman can wear these types of prints, so don't be afraid to try them!
Corduroy is Updated
In bottoms, corduroy is back, but better than ever! The new styles are soft and lightweight for a more modern look. Corduroy pants have flown out of the store, but we still have a few pairs in soft grey, taupe and winter white.
David Cline Delivers
Are you heading south? Want a lightweight layering piece? David Cline Tops are back and perfect for every woman! These breathable tops are so popular because you don't have to iron them and they cover up your arms without feeling stifling. Made in the USA.

| Style Tip: Winter Clothes for Hot Women |
 We are talking about hot flashes! After 10 years in business, we hear the same thing from many women before winter hits - they get too hot in the fashions of the season. Ladies, don't worry; we can help!
You can still rock winter styles without overheating by following these tips:
We often hear that
polyester is simply too hot. You may want to
abandon wool and cashmere too, especially if you're wearing them right next to your skin. Layering helps though!
If you feel like you are suffocating,
avoid closed necklines like turtlenecks and
stick to v-necks and round necklines for the season.
Collect
crisp blouses that you can wear untucked and pair them with relaxed,
unstructured jackets for soft tailoring. This combination looks more professional than a simple tank or t-shirt, but can be breezy enough to keep you cool.
If you're wearing a single layer,
go with bamboo, rayon or cotton tanks, ¾ sleeve tops and t-shirts. The full arm length tends to lock in the heat and make you look heavier. S
hort sleeves draw the eye upward to make look taller and slimmer, plus natural fibres are breathable, so you can deal with those "moments" in stride.
Stay away from heavy coats and
go for cardigan-style sweater jackets with a zipper or button front like those from Putorti and Parkhurst.
Ponchos are another great outerwear option. Be sure to wear a t-shirt or tank top underneath to stay comfortable.
Winter vests are a wonderful alternative to heavy winter coats and they are versatile. They transition from inside to outside easily, and they are easy to take off.
Layering is obviously key! Do stay away from bulky pullover sweaters (think heavy acrylic pieces). They tend to be difficult to remove when you do get hot, plus they seal in your heat.
Finally, if you simply can't stand to wear much,
go with a loose fitting scarf and winter hat in rayon for an instant fall look. You'll look comfortable and feel cool.
As always, if you want help finding
cool fashions, we are here for you!

We look forward to seeing you for the Fit Clinic this Thursday, and in store this month to get your winter wardrobe updated!
Remember, we are open on Sundays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Sincerely,
Karen & Connie
