From our May “Summer Style” issue.
On West Gay Street, you’ll find Blink Boutique, with bright white letters popping out against the dark green building. Mannequins wearing brightly colored outfits can be seen in the window as you walk by. You’ll find pieces from multiple designers, anything from cute sandals to formal floral dresses. The coral-colored walls and white dressing room doors make the store vibrant and welcoming.
You’re here for the Up on the Roof Party hosted by the West Chester Downtown Foundation. You want to look your best as you enjoy the delicious Limoncello catering and the music by The Donny Syracuse Band with your friends.
So, you look through the racks until Ilysa Biles, the shop’s owner, pulls out an outfit that’s perfect for you. It’s a white, knee-length jumpsuit from Just One Answer with vertical, blue pinstripes of diverse sizes running down the length of it. It’s woven from cotton, and has a classy V-neck, spaghetti straps, and a self-tie belt.
Now, all you need is some footwear to finish off the look, but you’re not looking for just any shoes — you’re hoping to not have blisters that stop you from dancing at the end of the night. The Faris nude heels by Splendid you see in the rack might just be the first choice. They are open-toed, have a comfortable, criss-cross strap, and a back to support your ankles and soles. Plus, they have thick heels to support you as you bust a move.
Get excited to let loose up on the roof of Chestnut Street Garage!
The jumpsuit is $98. The shoes are $158. For more information, visit Blink at 136 W Gay St. For more information, chat with Ilysa at 610.431.2212.
