Spruce You Can Use

Peel Fall Collection

If it’s Monday, it must be cardigan and pencil skirt day. But let’s face the facts: It could be Tuesday through Friday, too.

Your wardrobe rotation is looking more dejected than a Wall Street analyst.

Improve your outlook with Peel, an elegant and affordable take on feminine classics.

The white blouse will never be another shapeless button-down once you get a look at the three-quarter puff sleeves and playful Peter Pan color of the Ladylike blouse.

The Heroine dress jazzes up the little black formula with a bow-shaped neck detail and a gathered A-line skirt. Floral details shoot color into the stone-colored Cabin pullover.

To top it off, designer Megan Berks uses sustainable fabrics where possible.

Looks like a worthy investment.
