Welcome into March. Just as I thought spring was here, the weather starts messing with me. We did get a little taste of some spring weather. Just enough to tease us and get us all excited. I think I can be patient, because I know we only have jus a few more weeks and then Spring it On!

Store Happenings
Well, it hasn't taken us too long to start filling up. We have been getting in quite a bit of the spring/summer fashions. The store is really starting to look like spring has arrived. All the spring colors are so much more pleasant to look at. This is the time to start your shopping, while we have a nice selection.

E-Mail List
Last month I mentioned we will be sending out e-mail blasts. Due to problems we experienced with the hotmail account, we have discontinued it. We are now at fashinboss@gmail.com. We continue to have fashinboss@aol.com as well. I apologize if this caused anyone any problems.

Winter Clearance
Through the end of March we will have the remaining winter items drastically clearanced. Stop in to see the daily bargains.

Furniture & Home Decor
We have many new pieces that have arrived over the last couple of weeks. Currently we have a beautiful newly upholstered sofa, a curio cabinet, a couple of office desks, a microwave stand, a CD swivel cabinet and lots of odds and ends. Stop in to see what our daily arrivals are. We are expecting more pieces over the next few weeks.

We were able to make it to Kansas City to pick up our new home decor' pieces and they are out on the sale floor. We found lots of bargains. For all you angel lovers, we have another supply in. Don't wait too long, because you know how fast they sell.

We have a great selection of Easter home decor' in. Easter is going to be here before we know it.

Picture Sale
March 23 - 31 all pictures will be 15% off. We have lots to choose from and different styles. Spring is a good time to start redecorating and this is the best way to do it.

Fashion Tip of the Month
Skirt and Dresses with Slits

In 2010 the mid-thigh split skirt/dress is out. Long slit skirts or maxi dresses, in light flowing fabrics that give a not so subtle hint of leg as one walks or struts along. In fact, they give more than a hint of leg. They show off the whole leg with the split reaching the top of the thigh.

There may be a single side split, or centre split, or dual side splits with a panel of fabric that falls along the middle section.

How to Wear Skirts/Dresses with Slits
Heels are a must. Flat shoes don't do the look justice and will cancel out the utter sexiness of the above thigh split.
Tanned, toned, bare legs are perfect for this look this summer.
Go for light, breezy fabrics. Movement and flow are a big part of the charm.
Take inspiration from the "Grecian" trend. A drapey Goddess dress with a high split is the ultimate in summer sultriness

Meditation of the Month
"Make the Ultimate Commitment"
" Commitment is a way of life."

The ultimate commitment is the one you make to yourself.

Today, make the commitment to yourself to take full responsibility for your life and to make the most of it.

Remember time waits for no one. The choices you make and the actions you take, today, determine your tomorrow.

Say farewell forever to excuses, indifference and regrets. Stand up, claim what you want and get ready to do what it takes to get it.

Remember, with every challenge passed, you're a little stronger, a little wiser and a whole lot more experienced. In other words, commit yourself and never settle for less than your ideal.

What Are You Looking For
An Irish Blessing
Author: Unknown

Some people find life to be a giant supermarket - with miles and miles of aisles and aisles, with so many shelves of so many choices, of everything they are looking for and even more.

Some people find life to be a small country store with just two aisles - with just one or two choices for everything they think they need for everyday life.

May you find what your looking for, whoever you are and wherever you are.

See you next month!
