shop it: Altar'D State

Imagine my delight when I had a little time to kill in Shreveport before a dinner engagement and stumbled upon this store at the advice of one of my friends. The window display seriously gave me heart palpitations as I was driving up. It was sort of an Anthro/Urban hybrid with colorful clothes and a fabric scrap banner. Apparently it's been open since November, tsk tsk to my girlfriends for not telling me about it before [insert smiley face here. But then kind of a serious face]. The clothes are in color coordinated sectors, which I tell ya is very pleasing to the eye. I was seriously excited about the peach/persimmon/coral/tangerine-y area but found that those colors don't go so great with my skintone. They had a small section of basics but most of the clothes I would say are... borderline whimsical, for lack of a better word. For my style they would be more like special occasion clothes than everyday clothes - but really fun special occasion clothes! I tried on a culotte/tap pant hybrid, a couple of tops, and these coral jeans I reallllllly wanted to take home with me.. BUT, it's not as evident in the picture as it was in real life, they were like a second skin. I mean they were jeggings, but too close to a legging for my comfort. They have them in every color! Oh, the banana yellow... They also have an entire wall of TOMS, some cute ethically sourced scarves, and a lot of accessories. Really fun store, so happy that the Port city is getting places like this.
