It’s time to ramp up your style for those Zoom and Skype meetings!
I find that sticking with a routine and getting dressed for work helps me feel more productive. To create the same feeling for you, I’ve gathered my favorite new must-haves for your home office.
We are HUGE BB Dakota fans over here at Statements. I especially love their Line By Line Shirt Dress, Warming Up To You Cardigan Sweater and Hissy Knit. These pieces are a surefire way to level up your work-from-home look.
Snakeskin is so in right now and I’m loving our latest Snakeskin Bag.
It’s the absolute perfect size, the color combination is fantastic, the beautiful gold link strap is adjustable and bonus it’s VEGAN! You will love!
Going for a more casual look? The Sunrise Tie Front Dress is cute and extremely comfy. She is totally versatile for Spring/Summer too! And the Purr My Last Email Cheetah Sweater speaks for itself – this piece was made for working from home and staying cozy.
Speaking of staying in and dressing down…
We might as well make it cute! Meow’s the time to score some adorable loungewear – the Meow’s the Time Cheetah Jogger is a great way to channel that fierce energy while getting your errands done. I also LOVE the Dye Candy long sleeve low key t-shirt.
The Flower and Dot Print Square Scarf and Vintage Linked Chain and Rope Print Square Scarf are the perfect accessories for the non-wash hair days while we’re cooped up at home.
Everyone could use some hope right now.
There is such an intense atmosphere right now. We’re anxious, uncertain, and adjusting to a new normal that feels everything but normal. What better time to send some positivity to someone you love, keep it for yourself or send a gift to a healthcare worker to show your appreciation for all that they are doing to keep us healthy and safe. These necklaces are beautiful reminders of encouragement.

Once again, I can’t thank you enough for your love. Small businesses are certainly struggling right now, and your support means the world to us at Statements Boutique. If there is anything we can do for you, please reach out. We are all in this together.

]]>On the cusp of 2020, the beginning of a brand-new decade; I thought about how the world of retail has certainly changed in the last ten years. Today everything moves at lightening pace and the world seeks and expects instant gratification. Shopping is as easy as the click of a few buttons and bonus your package arrives the next day! It has become a ‘sit and shop’ environment. Call me old school, but especially when it comes to clothing and accessories I want to see, touch, feel and even smell the merchandise as in leather goods. When you purchase something and are spending good money; I feel it is so beneficial to have someone who can assist you with everything from the perfect outfit, to the proper accessories to match and even provide style tips for hair and makeup. I call this, “The Personal Touch” with someone who has your best interests at heart.
With that said; I feel so fortunate to be a small business owner in a town like Madison. What I love about my customers is no matter where they shop, be it online, at the mall or even house parties; they still shop local at their favorite downtown stores. I shop with all of you in mind and strive to create an environment that is a little oasis from your daily grind. It is not just a store to me but a place where I have had some of my greatest laughs and deepest cries with you my friends.
This my Twelfth Christmas I feel humble and yet proud of my achievements. I plan to keep going, maybe another store one day, who knows. I want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of Statements, but especially being a part of my life!
Happy Holidays to you and your families and hope to see you soon for that perfect gift.

We have plenty of faux leather pieces in store that you would swear were genuine. Our Hammitt handbag selection is full of genuine Italian leather goods that are a perfect addition to any outfit as well as a perfect gift for all of the special women in your life!

]]>I don’t know about you ladies, but Brooke and I absolutely LOVE the fall. It is such a fun, exciting, adventurous time of the year, plus fall fashion is the greatest. Whether you’re in jeans and a sweater, leggings and a tunic, a dress with tights, fall is the time where you get to wear all the comfy clothes you want! It’s the time to snuggle up in oversized sweaters and feel cozy all day long. We have a ton of fall clothes already in stock and plenty more on the way. From jeans to leggings, black lace tops to sweaters, fun tights to cozy socks, we have it all!
There’s only one problem with the beginning of fall - it’s cold in the morning and hot in the afternoon. How can you make your outfit work for both scenarios? Well, we love to layer in the fall. You can throw on some of our LA designer jeans with a sexy black lace blouse and a comfy black cami underneath then layer it with a killer leather jacket and some booties – the perfect solution. My personal favorite black lace top is this one from BB Dakota that is a hot seller here at Statements!

This dress in particular is perfection for a graduation. I say YES to wearing white on graduation! Wearing white on graduation is a tradition that many girls love to follow. White symbolizes new beginnings and the positivity that is to come as we complete this milestone in life and enter either college or the real world. This dress designed by Lavender Brown is detailed to perfection. The sleeves are flowy and sheer making it perfect for the warm weather. The crocheting detail is so intricate and gorgeous that it’s truly a masterpiece. The shape is flattering for any body type and anyone wearing this dress will feel beautiful and sophisticated.

]]>Personally, in speaking with several tremendously inspirational women (and if you want to know who they are please contact me) I’ve been working for the past 3-4 years I would say to break this cycle. It is so important to do things for you and I believe you can inspire yourself! Take moments in the crazy to just stop and breathe. Grab a cup of coffee and do absolutely nothing. I have found that in the quietest moments I’ve been surrounded by my own voice screaming the loudest with jubilation and excitement for whatever is in the moment or coming next. As we all know it’s so hard to “live in the moment”, but just try and take half of that moment and do for you. I used to believe that it’s selfish to follow this practice, but it’s SO not! The more you give back to yourself the better you’ll be not just for you, but also for your husband, your children, your family, your best friend or your co-workers.
I implore you today to inspire yourself! Take that dream that you’re scared of and at least jot in down in a journal or tell your family or someone that you trust. This brings you one step closer to making it a reality. Even if you just say it out loud to yourself, put it out there! We have the power to already know what we want and how to get there, but we stop ourselves. No matter how little or big it is start with yourself!

]]>Fashion is all about how it makes you feel and the confidence that it provides for you. If you like it and you feel good, embrace it! Who cares what people think; who cares if you’re following the right trends. Trends are always fun to look at for inspiration and they definitely help to broaden your fashion horizon but they’re not a strict guideline. Let the trends work for your style and your comfort zone.
Make sure what you wear makes you feel beautiful, makes you feel confident, makes you who you are.
This fall, keep your eye out on the streets to see what other people are wearing. Get inspired to wear what you love. Be your own style icon. Wear what you like, how you like.
If you love plaid, wear flannels every day! If you love oversized sweaters, get yourself a great pair of leggings and some killer boots! If you obsess over handbags, buy a statement, leather bag and wear it with pride!
No matter what strikes you out there in the fashion world, be you and be proud!
