InsideOut Casual Chic Clothing

InsideOut casual chic clothing can now be found at MaJe Gallery in Edmonds.  This fun line is perfect for the comfort-loving Northwesterner who still wants to look sharp.

The fabric is 96% modal and 4% spandex, which is extremely soft.  I like to joke that I feel like I'm wearing my PJs, but I look good!  Machine washable, and line dry for easy care.

Made in Florida, this company has a great story to share.  For over 40 years, Iris's mom made textiles for others in her 7,500 factory in Miami, FL.  A few years ago, mom was diagnosed with cancer, and Iris quit her lucrative job to help out.  Recently, the company they'd made clothing for for the past 10 years took it all and moved all the jobs to China.

Iris and her mother were sad about that, but what made them even more sad was having to let go of all the women workers they had and had come to love.  Where would they go?  The next day, InsideOut was born.  All the women still have jobs.  And some terrific clothing is made right here in America.


The Megan Wrap in black and gray stripes
The Megan Wrap closes with a single large button at the top, but can also be worn open.  It's a wonderful long butt-covering flowy cover that is also slenderizing.  See how the stripes angle downward, rather than straight across?  That's an eye-fooler that works for us!

This item is currently sold out.  Interested?  Let me know and I'll alert you when more arrive.
The Vera Tunic is a 3/4 sleeve top that's mostly black, with some fun decorations at the bottom.  One side features a wide red stripe, and then all around is the gray stripe fabric with a slit in the front only.  Check out the red band around the left sleeve too, making for some nice asymmetry!  This top is cut wide at the hips to make room some nice flow.  Also, my favorite feature is the gray stripe fabric around the neckline!

Only the XL is available as I write, but stay tuned as another order will arrive eventually.  If you want a call when your size comes in, just let me know by calling 425-776-3778.



The Jude tunic is available in periwinkle stripe
Here's the Jude Tunic in periwinkle and black stripes.  It's a great length and features a pair of pockets in the front.  A scoop neck that isn't too deep and 3/4 sleeves that cover the flabby upper arms.  Cut generously in the hips, too.  This is just great to wear over black or navy leggings or skinny jeans.  I also discovered that it looks rather dressy when paired with a wider-leg trouser.

If you're short, say under 5'4", you can even wear it as a dress!  This style is the most popular so far. This style is currently sold out.  Interested?  Let me know and I'll alert you when more arrive.

Jenny Tunic in turquoise
Here's the Jenny Tunic, a super simple but terrific basic you can dress up or down due to its utter simplicity.  3/4 sleeves cover our flabby upper arms.  The scoop neck is perfect for jewelry, or if you prefer, a long necklace or scarf is also great.  The right scarf would really dress this top up.  Generously cut through the hips, it also covers the butt.  The asymmetrical hem is both flattering and disguising of wider hips.

This would look great over jeans, leggings or a narrow skirt.  As I write, all sizes but XL are available!

Let me know what you think of this line.  It will help me decide whether or not to increase the styles or not.  Which of these four is your favorite?

Thanks, and here's to our casual chic Northwest style!
