There’s a local designer here in the SF Bay Area who designs some of the prettiest and most wearable pieces for women I have ever seen.  Her name is Lesley Evers and these are some pieces from her collection:

Last year for my 20th (gulp) highschool reunion I bought one of her dresses.  I tried a bunch of them on in a local boutique (Bella Vita–another great place to find one of a kind designer pieces as well as things for the home) and all of them were beautiful and flattering would have been a welcome addition to my wardrobe.  Lesley Evers designs are classic and there’s something for every figure type.  She even designs most of her textiles.

I decided after having Becky that I wanted to start paring down my wardrobe and only invest in long term pieces instead of buying a bunch of things that I never really wear.  If you are looking for a special piece to add to your wardrobe I can’t recommend her designs enough!

Do you have a go to designer or shop for special pieces in your wardrobe?
