WCE Featured in St. Louis Docu-series "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's"

PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Women’s Closet Exchange has been featured in a key episode of “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s”, the new docu-series centered around Saint Louis’ popular soul food restaurant of the same name.

Robbie Montgomery, Sweetie Pie’s owner and former backing vocalist for the Ike and Tina Turner Revue, has long been both a friend and returning customer at WCE. In “Sweetie Pie’s” second ever airing episode, Robbie makes a special visit to Women’s Closet Exchange, accompanied by close friends and a fellow Ikette, for some much needed girl time.

In a recent interview with Sauce Magazine Robbie confessed, “I’m a shopaholic; I’m addicted to shoes, purses and clothes!” The article also reads, “Time away from the restaurants is spent shopping and at weekly slide dancing lessons. After getting her hair done at the Galleria she’s off to the Women’s Closet Exchange – Saks and Neiman Marcus if there’s a sale.” 

The episode is set to air Saturday, October 22nd at 9/8c on OWN. We at Women’s Closet Exchange are thrilled to be a part of the Sweetie Pie’s continuing story.

How to Tie a Square Scarf

We're in love with scarves at WCE, and what's not to love about an Hermes?

But sometimes it can be difficult to decide (or remember) just how to tie that silk square you're dying to wear.

Today we played around with three very EASY and CLASSIC methods, employing the use of one of our new Hermes scarves.

{the square knot}

1) fold scarf diagonally into a triangle
2) flip triangle point to back
3) tie at front in a simple knot

{the scarf necklace}

1) fold scarf diagonally into a triangle
2) leave scarf loose and tie ends at back in a simple knot
3) loosely roll and tuck triangle point at front

{the modern ascot}

1) fold scarf diagonally into a triangle 
2) tie at back in a simple knot, leaving triangle point at front
3) wrap scarf ends back to front and double knot



Hermes "Reveries Japonaises" (Japanese Reveries) silk scarf 
by Latham available at Women's Closet Exchange.
