If your style is more West Coast than Gulf Coast a trip to N.O. Surf Shop is in order. I am deathly afraid of drowning so you’ll never see me hanging ten* but the owner nicely told me “It’s about the lifestyle”.
This shop is so much more than surf and skate boards. There is a nice variety of men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing and a big selection of flip flops. The owner is passionate about buying home grown threads, so much so that he plans on discontinuing anything “Made in China”. I found his prices refreshingly reasonable without a big “boutique” markup. There are a slew of surf/skate brands as well as locally made jewelry.
For whatever reason the older I get the cuter surf brands get and I can’t help but love this Reef dress I just bought. I think the quality is great for the price and even though most are technically juniors they tend to flatter those of us *ahem* this side of 25.
As usual excuse the poor quality photos. That’s what happens when you photograph in poor lighting. Oh yes that is an ice chest in the background on my balcony. Keepin’ it classy.
So what seems like a simple, straightforward, above the knee dress…

You learn something new every day. Now I know two things you are deathly afraid of!
