Fashion Friday: Tips to Help You Look Great Hanging Out!

16 Apr Fashion Friday: Tips to Help You Look Great Hanging Out!

Fashion Friday 2.0 brings back a popular TIO fashion blog, first featuring Kristin Holbrook of Telluride’s Two Skirts, now brought to you by nationally renowned fashion and lifestyle blogger Erin Busbee, a Telluride local – and sponsored by Kristin and Two Skirts.

What goes around…

This week, Erin shares simple tips to help you look chicer at home in your – well – loungewear or sweats. Her idea will help you look classy and put together even when hanging out. Note: Erin gears all of her fashion and style videos for women over 40, but her great ideas translate to women of all ages

Note: Just before you listen to Erin’s impassioned message of the week, for those of us still sheltering in place, know that Kristin’s Telluride sweater sold out quickly. Which means $$$ to help support The COVID-19 Telluride Medical Response Fund, specifically extra staff, additional staff hours, supplies (like PPEs), and communications and bilingual translation efforts. But here is the good news. Pre-orders are now available for May delivery of the Telluride Sweater: purchase now and receive later to help the cause. Newborn through toddler sweaters available in white/navy.=

“We are bringing back the best selling taupe and ivory combo, and introducing white and yellow. Sizing is true to size with room, xs-xl. Thank you to our amazing medical personnel for all that they do to keep our community safe,” says Kristin.

If you already own (or have ordered) the Telluride sweater, add a pair of Moussy jeans into mix and,  with 20 percent of the sales donated, continue to support the Med Center’s Response Fund.

More about Two Skirts:

Two Skirts is a high-end women’s boutique with two locations: Telluride, Colorado and San Francisco, California. The store carries apparel, accessories, make-up, shoes, and jewelry.

It is fair to say that the history of Two Skirts began down the road a piece: Kristin followed the man who became her husband, (Kevin), who followed his ski school client, Joanne Brown, from Vail to Telluride.

“Kevin decided Telluride was going to be the next great place, so he moved to town in 1998. I followed in 1999 with a desire to open a business for two reasons: 1) I wanted to have something of my own to keep me in this remote town since I knew my husband would never leave; and 2), the timing seemed right to become an entrepreneur in Telluride,” explained Kristin.

Kristin approached Joanne about partnering in a women’s boutique.

The concept for Two Skirts was born in 2000. Overnight the store hit pay dirt and today it remains one of the most popular women’s boutiques in town.
