Every once in a great while a clothing brand seems to explode into our consciousness. Once unheard of, it is suddenly popping up everywhere! Quince falls into that buzzy, viral category. I first spotted it via an Instagram ad. The dreamy-looking (and supposedly washable) silk skirt sparked my interest. However, the price point ($60 vs the $150 mark) really solidified things. You know your girl loves a bargain!…
When someone labels their product “perfect” my reporter brain immediately leaps into action. Call it a professional hazard, but I’m a bit of a skeptic.

Have you ever bought a shoe you thought you’d love, only to have it languish at the back of your closet? This has happened to me more than I care to admit.

In fact, I’m going to counter popular culture by saying I don’t want to be sexy. Sophisticated? Yes. Classy? Definitely. Alluring and mysterious? Sure. So, let’s talk for a minute about what’s classy vs.…
