Wear-It: Coral

It's no secret that coral is one of this Spring's "it" colors, and we're more than happy to embrace the trend. After all, what's not to love about the friendly orange-red, statement making pop that this shade lends?

Believe it or not, coral is a very wearable color. The red undertone means it's flattering on nearly all skin tones, so there's no reason not to work this new staple color into your wardrobe! Below are a few tips for pulling it off in every way, from lipstick to pantyhose...

Wear-It: Coral Lipstick

  • The rules for wearing coral lipstick are actually quite easy: If you have a lighter skin tone, opt for a shade with more pink than red. If your skin tone is darker, embrace more of a deep reddish orange.
Wear-It: Coral Clothing 
 Whitney Port wears a coral blazer with tortoise shell sunglasses and summer neutrals.
  • Work coral into your wardrobe by starting with a key layering piece, such as a blazer. Throw it over cool basics like a white tee and your favorite denim to naturally transition into the piece. Nude shoes are great with this look as well.
  • If you're feeling color happy, try coral denim paired with a cool mint green blouse and/or shoes.
Wear-It: Coral Accessories
 Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) wears DKNY "Camilla Coral" tights with her LBD. 
  • A coral handbag or jewelry is an easy, non-committal way to try the color on for size. Of course, these same pieces can be used to add big impact as well. Feeling adventurous? Opt for coral stockings and turn heads this Easter! 


What ways do you plan on wearing coral?

    Just slip into something fabulous, pour, shake, and sip.


    Holiday Party 2011

    Last week we wished one another happy holidays and toasted to a wonderful year at Frazer's Restaurant & Lounge in St. Louis.

    Staff from all four of our shops attended for an evening fine dining and surprises, complete with mini designer purse place settings, a specially prepared menu and our very own signature cocktail - the Resale Row-tini!






     It takes a small (and stylish) army to make what we do possible.

    Happy Holidays to all and cheers to 2012!

    Staff Cocktail Party 8.18.11

    At WCE we consider ourselves not just a working staff, but a family - a team of hardworking women, sisters, friends.

    From time to time we like to gather outside the store for a little relaxation, which often includes good food, good drinks and lots of laughter.

    Last night was one of those times. Here's a glimpse into our work hard, play hard mantra:
