Opal at South Lake Union

I drive by Whole Foods in the South Lake Union neighborhood at least 4 times a week.  Generally I do my shopping at other locations but branching out one evening I wandered into the parking lot and “discovered” Opal (2121 Terry Ave, suite 100).  This boutique is great fun and full of color for spring.  The staff who identified herself as the manager was super friendly and there were 10 things I put my hands on that I really loved.  They have jeans of course, J Brand and True Religion to name  a few, but what I really loved were all the great t shirts and dresses that just made me smile.  It felt like a comfortable boutique to shop in with clothes for real people.

Back to the Basics

I’ve been looking (again) for the perfect pair of jeans. This time what I really want are comfortable, everyday jeans that aren’t too low, aren’t too high waisted, are long enough and have some style. Pretty much what I want every time.   I’m also on a budget but believe in spending good money on something you love so I’ve taken that into consideration as well.

Entering back into the picture after being out of my closet for years… Levi’s.   I’ve found straight leg, dark wash levi’s for everyday and also black jeans for more of a cropped, European flair.  And at $79 that’s a bargain these days for jeans.   Check out the Levi’s store next time you wander by or look at retailers like Fred Meyer for sales and bargains on their Levi’s selection.
