Won't Do Me No Good Washing in the River



Living in the South, you would think it would be warm and sunny, and we would all be out and about having fun. And normally you would be right. 
But right now its super cold! And I made the brilliant mistake of trying to go outside to get pictures for this blog. Not smart.  Other places are covered in snow, but here we cancel school just because our roads "might" freeze over for the night (Oh no!)  So I thought I would do a look to show how I use my clothes out of my closet to layer and stay warm(ish) when the weather drastically changes down here (which in Louisiana is very common).

One way to stay warm and look cute while doing so would be to pair a casual flannel with a structured jacket. Using a more structured piece as an outer layer keeps your outfit from looking bulky when you are layering. Second would be to always have a pair of tall boots on hand with those fluffy or snowflake thick socks, seriously, the more colorful the better. You know, the ones your grandmother gave you at Christmas that you looked at, rolled your eyes, and thought, "When will I ever wear these?" You can pair these hideous socks with your tall boots and no one will even know you have them on, also you can thank your Grandmother later!

Hi, Welcome to Duck & Dressing


"Hi! Welcome to Duck & Dressing!" Oh wait I don't have to say that here. I say it a hundred times a day at the store, it just flies out sometimes.

Welcome to the Duck & Dressing blog! Its a new year and just wanted to start a new adventure so that maybe I can share some of the fun behind the scenes stuff that goes on around the store and also share some of the styles that we are featuring. We've been working around the clock getting the store running but we've been having some fun too!

We had an amazing Grand Opening/Holiday party back in December and wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who came out and supported us. Also we wanted to thank everyone who helped us make such an awesome party happen. Here's some photos from the party. I hope you enjoy them!
