What To Wear Under What You Wear

Happy Friday #follygirls!

Today I want to talk about “what to wear under what you wear”; that's right, I’m talking about slips!

At Folly we make our Erin Slips in a variety of colors such as Jade, Electric Blue, Sweetest Pink, Black, and Ivory. AND a limited edition hand-dyed slip in Butterscotch!

 

 

The LIMITED EDITION Butterscotch Erin Slip






Slips are not only a functional staple of your closet, but you can also create totally new outfits just by changing the color of the slip you wear underneath! 

Let me show you what we mean:

Here is Heather! A #follygirl who so graciously offered her time to come down to Folly and try on slips for us!

We took lots of photos, and did lots of twirling! We wanted to make a visual of what different colored slips would look like under the same dress. The results? Sarah and I were both impressed at how much a little pop of color underneath changed the dress and created a whole different vibe!

If you're going to own just one slip, have it be the Erin slip in black. A black slip will serve you in so many ways and be an instant closet staple to wear under what you wear!

If you're craving some pizzazz... try switching out the classic black for either jade or electric blue. Or love what Heather's wearing? Come on down and snag yourself a limited edition butterscotch while they're still here! Heather is wearing the Butterscotch Erin under our Dahlia dress.

Do you have a sheer dress and are looking for a slip? We encourage you to bring it in! We could tell you how the colors might look under different dresses, but it's so much better to SHOW you! So don't be afraid to bring some dresses with you the next time you stop into Folly. Color theory is a magical thing, and sometimes trying an unexpected color yields unexpectedly amazing results!!



I encourage everyone not to underestimate the powers and uses of owning at least one slip. I personally love wearing slips under the few sheer dresses I have, and I love even more to wear them around my home for that extra confidence boost. Use your slip for practical, fashionable, or sexy purposes! We like to say here at Folly that the slips are sexy but practical, aka sexypractical™

So go ahead, channel your inner Elizabeth Taylor and strut around!


 

 

 

But these sexy slips are made to be worn. No "saving for a special occasion" needed ;)


Here's a little recap of why we think you should try our Erin slips:

1. Provides coverage under a sheer dress

2. To change the color of an existing outfit 

3. To have your clothes lay nicely on your body

4. To feel SEXYYYYY!  

5. I don't know.. you tell us! DM us on Instagram @follypdx of why you love your Erin slips and how you style them <3 


That's all for now,  thank you all for tuning in! 

 

Aya's haiku of the week:

A dress that shimmers,

A slip that brings out your eyes,

Meet me at Folly

Berry, Pink, and Watermelon! Our fave colors for summer....



Summer is nearly here! It's been so warm here in Portland the past few weeks I can hardly believe it. I've been waking up every morning to a new surprise in my backyard garden! Roses, veggies, irises...spring has really sprung! Now that mothers day is over it's time to treat yourself ladies! I know plenty of you got Folly Gift Cards! ♥

Now it's time to figure out what you need. We are full to the brim at Folly with beautiful pieces for everyone. Right now I'm really loving the pinks, corals, and reds we have in store!

This is the perfect a-line dress! Silk with a little bit of stretch for an easy fit. 
Berries are really flattering on everyone! 

The always perfect Nora dress in Peony
Party it up in the Nora! Shes the perfect dress for weddings, picnics, parties, dinners...
Oh she does it all! Light as air silk in the prettiest blush and red. 

The Jenni is the perfect dress up tee! Great for a more polished look. 
Perfect for work and play!!

The Jenni also makes a phenomenal dress! The bell sleeves and cowl neck really lend themselves 
to a little dressier look than your average knit dress. Great for work. Pockets! Who loves ya?

This is one of my favorite Sarah Bibb designs! A nice flowy cape dress that fits just right through the body.
Sexy, comfy, chic!

It's Hyla Season! Your Favorite Wrap-Skirt Has Arrived!








The Hyla was the bread and butter of Sarah Bibb's line before she was able to expand to have her own lil production facility. And it's still a Folly Favorite! The Hyla is a perfect A-Line Wrap skirt....and it's fully reversible. Think of it as two skirts in one! The Hyla is especially great for traveling because it's lightweight, cotton, comfy, and can be made into so many outfits with a few different tees! All priced at $145.


Hyla Skirt - Pink Flower/Diamonds


 

 
Hyla Skirt - Paisley/Green Check

Pick your favorite side and go with it until you get bored....then reverse it! Or switch with every wear! Up to you. Fun. Functional. Ethically made...with love! This is the quirky & cute skirt missing from your life. ♥

(Plus an adorable video of designer Sarah Bibb showing you how to wear the Hyla!)

Blue, Blue, Blue

I think the color blue doesn't get enough of a place in some people's wardrobes. It's chic, it's classic, and it's fun! It's certainly a perfect color to give off a really cool and fresh vibe!

Sarah Bibb knows this well. That's why she made both the Jenni Dress and the Nora in beautiful blues. Jenni is easy for everyday and to work. She is simple and fitted perfectly to make getting dressed in the morning so simple! Nora on the other hand is the perfect dress for any event. Dress her up or down with your accessories! And both of these lovely cobalt ladies are perfect paired with one of Sarah Bibb's Obi Belts.

Jenni Dress in Cobalt with a SB Obi Belt

Nora Dress in Blue Alligator with and without SB Obi Belt
Just look at this amazing silk print! Such lovely colors in such a classic print.

The Casio Tee by Sarah Bibb is such a perfect alternative to your average t-shirt.With cute princess seams this will set you apart from the crew neck crowd. In lovely soft jewel tone cobalt (and also emerald) this is so easy to wear with your favorite jeans, skirts, or tucked into some high-waisted pants! 


And last but certainly not least is the Sleeveless Piping Dress by 15/20 .

Black with a lovely cobalt blue piping detail. This dress is so flattering with a fabulous silhouette and strategic piping for an amazing slimming effect. And it's so chic and comfortable! A great go-to LBD alternative.

And all of these pieces shown are made in the USA! What better reason to shop at Folly?
