Portmans and I have a sordid relationship.
Sometimes the shop is filled with amazing gems. The 100% silk, coral coloured ruffle blouse that comes out like new every wash and goes with everything. The $17 jacket that even my dad compliments. Oh and the knee length leather pencil skirt for $50 (if only I could find it in my size and that did not require entering the hell that is Portmans in Harbour Town – anyone seen a 14?).
Then there are the other times when you enter and are like... what? Silk khaki harem pants and cropped safari jacket? (although I must admit I did comment I would like this on say Lively-Legsy-Titsy (aka. Serena Van der Woodsen) or Rhianna. Or the whole shop is black. Filled with ill-fitting cheap suits, one or two dull ridiculously expensive blouses . Then there was that one Cassi (ANTM Loser) campaign with this blue dress:
Anyway, I got an email re: their Spring collection this morning and I was pleasantly surprised by the aesthetic.
This skirt is darling. I especially like the length. It will no doubt be a lot less cute and shorter when it hits the store though. I find it very odd how short Portmans skirts are seeing as their target customers are working women. Anyone remember those miniskirt suits? Vom
So cute for spring. I LOVE these shoes.
I would definately wear this to work. With enclosed shoes though.
Another skirt I LOVE. I go through phases with my clothes lemmings and currently it is skirts. My wardrobe is desperately missing skirts.
I am now going to email Portmans and ask them who makes these shoes. I will share what I discover.

I too find Portmans hit and miss.
I have found a few great items but lots of items are too expensive. Or they are not warm enough for me.
These outfits are really cute - I can't wait to see what they look like in-store though.
