The "Match Me! Matching Table" Has Arrived

Here at Tuesday's Child and www.TuesdaysChild.com we go to great lengths and therefore take great pride in our matching skills.  We feel that it's what separates us from other stores and specialty shops and its what our local customers like about us.  To that end we have created the "Match Me! Matching Table" so that all our customers be they local or long distance can call on our fashion skills and pick our minds.  It's something that we love to do and boy, do we do well.

And you know what?  in the few days that it has been live, our customers seems to really enjoy it and have submitted more requests than we can handle at once!

Here are some of whats been happening at the "Match Me! Matching Table".  Like em and want to see the program at work for yourself!  Feel Free because it's free too!  In fact,  its what we love to do!

The request was for this Moschino item:

And our response was this T-shirts from Paul Smith Junior (see the stitching detail on the green):

And two Items that are not on our website now like this Burberry T-Shirt (for its orange to make an orange and blue match):

Burberry Brit Kids T-Shirt with Moschino Short

and this Diesel T-Shirt from last Spring Season which was a Puuuurfect match to the mini camera in the motiff.

So get involved and request help on any item you love because thats what we love!

Frontsies Backsies

You know the deal beause we all did it as kids.  You let your best friend in front of you in the long line at school or at a ride at the fair and they reciprocate the "favor" by letting you go in front of them.

Well, here we mean something entirely diferent.  It's when you have a shirt that has a pattern on the front and a different pattern on the back.  Its a creative look because it shows that the designer was not just making this shirt to get by which they could have done with the front pattern but wanted it to be especially cute and in most cases they succeed.  Mom's and Dad's love 'em because they add a special touch to what otherwise may have been just a cute T, cuz now its a cute too plus the "don't look now but WHAM!  GOTCHYA, Bet you didnt see THAT coming!

:-)

Here are a few boys and girls looks that cute on their own but throw in the back of the shirt and you got that "WHAM, DONT LOOK NOW" look!

Well Start with the GianFranco Ferre Shirt that we worked in the last few days.  The front is sedate.  The back, WOW! Factor 7!

Or for a little softer change from front to back with a definite cuteness factor is this Paul Smith Junior T-Shirt (hard to digitally depict in orange as is red, so see the pic o the site for better and more accurate color)

Paul Smith Junior Paper Dog T-Shirt

which has the paper model dog folded in the front but with the unfolded tabbed in the back.  Definitely cute!  WOW! Factor 4 

For the Girls here are two examples, first being the Lili Gaufrette Ludeul Bow Top which looks meh in the front but with the three bows in the back is quite adorable.  Even so the WOW Factor gets a 5 as its a cute but quiet top.

Finally for a simply adorable look on the theme of Frontsies-Backsies you can't beat Little Marc Jacobs who usually does something like the Miss Marc Kirsten Sweat Dress below.

With the Back Here.  Simply Adorable for a WOW! FACTOR 9

How do I know that Moms and Dad's love em?  Cause that's the last piece!

Fashion Faceoff 2 - It's Color War!

We will assume for the sake of this post that you like a little bit of color in your life and even those that dont like color for themselves probably like to see it on their kids.  (and if you don't like color or you don't have kids then we will just wonder what you might be doing here ;-)  )

That being said, how do YOU like your color?

Do you like it orderly like the Gianfranco Ferre T-Shirt on the left (And before you go wondering where the color is on the GFF Shirt, check out the second pic for the back of the shirt.  How you like me now ;-) ??)  Or like the Cavalli Devil's on the right which has that splash of paint mixed into the shirt embraced by the bright orange frame?

Gianfranco Ferre to the left,  Cavalli Devils to the right

The GFF Shirt back side.  Next to the Cavalli on the right

And if you really arent into the color that much and even the bold stripes of the GFF shirt is more than you can handle then how about the tye die colors of the Lacoste Kids Shirt, Wildly popular this season and loads less than the premius designer stuff (But thats NOT why we put three shirts to the one in the pic ;-)  )

So which do YOU prefer?

Let us know and vote!

Fashion Faceoff Number 1 - Simonetta vs. I Pinco Pallino

In our inaugural Fashion Faceoff, we bring you two Luxury Items from the hallowed Houses of Kids Haute Couture, Simonetta and I Pinco Pallino.

In truth they are both very elegant and rich and would be well suited for a very special occasion, however their usage and appropriateness would differ significantly based on exactly WHAT and more importantly WHEN  that special occasion might be.

The Gold I Pinco Pallino Dress (on the right) while being a very rich fabric with lovely design is beter suited for the night dinner affair.

The White lacelike Daisy Dress from Simonetta  (on the left) would be better suited for a daytime and perhaps outdoor affair.

Are these rules set in store?  Of course not!  Just a professional feel.  You of course can buy them both and wear them whenever!  :-)

PS:  I do have a customer who has become a friend who used to dress his home schooled kids in Pinco Pallino on a daily basis!

Il Gufo and Moncler - an Interesting Factoid

Some of you may know Il Gufo.  Most of you know Moncler and that they make a Moncler for kids line which we carry.  Recently Il Gufo opened up a store in the United States on Madison Avenue, which you can read about here.

What you might not know is that when Italian representative from Moncler came to visit Tuesday's Child they did a walk through our store (which you can do here as well for the most part :-) ) and despite all the brands that we carry, from Armani Junior, to I Pinco Pallino to Burberry, Dolce and Gabbana Junior and Little Marc Jacobs and more, they were the most impressed by the fact that we carry Il Gufo.

Interesting?

We thought so.
