Fall Favorites with Maurices

It's a well-known truth that we East Coasters can be a little...picky. Not snobby, per se (Okay, maybe a little snobby); we just know what we like and we like what we know! And we like regional, family-started clothing and accessory brands. It behooves us to remember that these companies aren't specific to New England - they're all around the country. Take Maurices for example, born in 1931 in Duluth, Minnesota. The founding family held onto the brand for almost 50 years before selling, though the current owner maintains the ethos of an earnest, hometown retailer. I like that their modern (but not-too-trendy) pieces are affordable and have a broad range of sizes (1-24) and occasions (just check out the party dresses)! Maurices is expanding into New England and Massachusetts, so be sure to pop in soon. Of course, if you'd rather check them out online, I've got the hook-up for you: 20% off any single regular priced item on maurices.com - just use code 20BF2015 at check out!
