Valentine’s Day: Fall for your fashion
Feb 14th
Okay, so we know Valentine’s day isn’t a real holiday. And while we may not be all about the romance and hearts and chocolate, we’ll take any excuse for a festive outfit. Who doesn’t love a good red and pink color scheme?
If you’re a fashionista like us, we know you own your fair share of “a pop of red” pieces. Now’s the time to whip em out.
How cute are these red on pink outfits? We love the bold and oh so appropriate clash of color.
As girls it’s in our nature to love a holiday all about romance. Trust us, we get it. But we understand sometimes you want to fly a little under the radar on this day of love. You can still embrace your love for the holiday while staying subtle. We suggest rocking your festive hues, but pairing them with other non-valentines day colors like black or navy. Keeping your wardrobe traditional for the work place? Add your pop of Vday colors in accessories. Stack on some red bangles, pumps, beaded necklace, or nail polish.
If Valentine’s day isn’t your thing, grab your best, hot and feminine pieces and embrace your indifferent attitude. Nothing says, I love myself like a LBD or pencil skirt.
What better way to celebrate love than to show off your love for fashion?! Happy Valentines Day Fashionistas!

Hues of the Season: Fall 2013
Nov 13th
Fashionistas, we all know neutral doesn’t mean boring. This season especially, Pantone has introduced some enchanting new shades to change up your usual neutral looks.
Pantone’s new take on neutrals can turn your look from basic to fashion forward without being flashy. The calm lush shade of deep lichen is perfect for an earthy yet edgy feel. The smoky turbulence shade is cool yet sophisticated. And the ever smooth and sensational shade of brown is carafe, for a classic and upscale look.
We can’t get enough of these fresh non-traditional neutrals. Pantone also features subtle yet stunning jewel tones and vivid, upbeat brights in this season’s palate, which beautifully enhance the neutral hues.
The new neutral shades are a great way to change up your usual black, navy, brown, or khaki go-to’s. Mix and match them together or pair them with Pantone’s Fall 2013 jewel tones and brights. You can do just a splash of color or go all out, whatever your mood may inspire.
We love these fashionista’s color combos! The turbulence coat with an acai pant is perfect for a cool, urban look. Pairing carafe tights with a samba skirt perfectly embraces the warm, fall feel. Get the rustic, yet chic, style with a deep lichen skirt and a pop of color, like a samba cross-body bag. And finally, we are loving the layering of a lichen green jacket over a vibrant color like koi!
Get creative! These hues can mix and match to best embrace your unique and stunning style.

October: Sport the Pink, Support the Cause at STA
Oct 2nd
Lee National Denim Day: A fundraiser created by Lee Jeans to support the American Cancer Society. It’s committed to improving the everyday lives of those with breast cancer – past, present and future.
Chances are, we’ve all been impacted by breast cancer. The Susan G. Komen For The Cure Foundation estimates that there will be 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in 2012. And that’s only this year alone. Whether you’re a survivor, or know a friend, family member, or loved one that’s fought this disease – it’s a cause that every FashioniSTA holds near and dear.
In recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Second Time Around will donate 10% of each denim purchase this Columbus Day weekend (10/5-10/8) to Lee National Denim Day.
Can’t make it to one of our locations this weekend? Stop in all month and pick up a pink wristband for $1 – we’ll be donating 100% of those sales to Lee National Denim Day as well.
