Hi Everyone!
You know when people say “but who’s counting?” That would be US!
WE ARE!
We can’t wait until we can open our doors and see you all again. It could be as soon as June 8th. That doesn’t seem so far away, so let’s all hope that the virus stays on the decline and we can start to take appointments then and get all of you looking spring/summer perfect.
In the meantime, we had so much fun FaceTiming with some of you last week for Wardrobe Wednesdays. For anyone who missed out on this last week, this is how Wardrobe Wednesdays work:
We have thirty minute time slots from 12-4 available to FaceTime or Zoom with you. We will pre-select items to show you based on your requests for the items you are looking to fill in your wardrobe with.
To book a slot, please do the following:
EMAIL us at U7Wardrobe@gmail.com and let us know your top three time preferences.
Here are the slots for this Wednesday, May 20th:
12
12:30
1
1:30
2
2:30
3
3:30
By the way, these are all PM appointments, but like last week, here are some suggestions for middle of the night viewing in case you are up past your bedtime: the last two episodes of the Last Dance, Never Have I Ever (this is a fluffy comedy from Mindy Kaling, but sometimes a global pandemic calls for some fluff,) The Half of It (which won Tribeca,) we’ve heard Upload is great and The English Game. Because you have 60 hours of nothing to do you can watch all six seasons of Bosch about a LA detective. Also, if you feel like crying for an hour and a half watch Becoming, the movie about Michele Obama. No matter what party you support it is very interesting to see how your life changes in an instant when you become our President. If you have suggestions please send them along. We are getting to the end of our watch lists.
2. Let us know the kinds of items you would like to see. For example: dresses, tops, pants, jewelry, etc. Let us know the sizes you would like to see. No judgment if you’ve gone up a size or two since the stay at home order. It’s a global pandemic for goodness sakes! Lots of baking happened. We get it. A reminder that everything except Annemieke is on sale at 20% off.
3. Please let us know if you would like to FaceTime or if you would prefer to Zoom. For FaceTime, we will have you call us.
4. We will pre-select items based on your requests and have them ready for your 30 minute chat with us (we can’t wait to see your lovely faces!)
We can also walk through the store and go through the jewelry cases to show you in real time. We also have winter sale items and they are all 70% off.
5. We will email you by Tuesday evening with your time slot and a Zoom link if we’ll be Zooming.
If all the slots fill up don’t despair because we will continue Wardrobe Wednesdays until we reopen.
Once our doors are open, we are more than happy to FaceTime or Zoom with anyone unable to visit the store.
See some of you Wednesday! Yay!
Our style icons checked in with us this past week and here they are:
We got in lots of masks this week and after orders were filled here is what we have for sale to anyone who wants them. They are 65 dollars each and they cost 18 dollars to ship via UPS. Our post office near the store and our houses are closed so we are dependent on UPS which has raised their prices by a lot!
Neoprene with crinkle on top
Plain neoprene
Plain crinkle (these are very comfortable) and because they are nylon they don’t breathe so they are very good for safety.
And cotton which are very pretty on
Now for this week’s giggles.
There were some really good ones and we needed some extra laughs this week.
We have told you about our love for @pluto.living and this week’s video touches on something a lot of us are fretting about: putting on pants with buttons, again.
Here she is:
In this same vain:
For those of you who are working from home, this one is for you:
For those of you not working from home, these are for you; one tells you what day it is and the other gives you a suggestion for creating a neighborhood event: 
Thirty years from now, this is what the next generation’s students will be working on:
As always, the Fun & Games section is here to occupy a few minutes of your time, because most of us have way too much of it.
Hereare the answers to last week’s NYTImes Spelling Bee puzzle:
Here is this week’s puzzle:
Kenny told Ricki he had 23 and she has never been prouder of him. Ever.
Remember, the rules are as follows: make as many words as you can using the letters provided. Each word must use the center letter at least once. Letters can be used more than once and each word must be at least five letters. Words are one point each unless they use all seven letters in which case they are worth three points. There is always at least one seven letter word.
As always, please let us know how you are! We really do love hearing from you.
Two things to leave you with before we go:
and…
A word of thanks to all of you that have written encouraging notes, sent us pictures, let us in on all the funny memes, sent us good tv to watch, facetimed and zoomed (those are real words now right?) with us and purchased masks. It just reinforces what we already know: we have the best customers of any store in this country. And for those of you who have written to make sure we are not going to close we can tell you this: we promised we would do anything and everything in our power not to close and we aren’t going anywhere. The minute we can open we will. Yes, it will be different because we won’t be able to have lots of people in at once and we will have safety regulations in place. But it will still be fun and we will still have great clothes and accessories for you. So no worries. Let’s all concentrate on being healthy and safe and wearing our masks when we go out.
Before we go click on this because sometimes it is good to remember we are one big world.

Stay safe, stay well, stay strong and we will see you soon! Hopefully in 21 days. See? We are counting!
