Dots
Heading out of town for the long weekend? You may want to head to Dots first! District Manager of Dots, Katy Fries, was here to show us how to use versatile looks to last all weekend. Take a look at our video clip for some fashion inspiration!
Here are some of Katy’s tips:
Think functional fashion
- Pick one color story and stay with it such as black + white with pops of color to streamline your packing
- Try to get a feel for what you’ll be doing so you don’t overpack (or underpack)
- Think to yourself: Am I really going to wear this? Do I really need this?
Versatility is Key
- Make sure all of your accessories can be used for both day and night outfits
- Opt for dark denim; you only need one pair and you can wear it with multiple tops; dark readily goes from day to night
- Denim jackets and blazers are great pieces that can change the look of an entire outfit
- Choose your shoes wisely; while you may need 1 or 2 pairs of heels, you can make your gladiators work harder by using them for both casual and dressy occasions
Size Matters
- Select items that can fold easily without getting wrinkled such as knit tops
- Harem pants not only go day to night, but are space-savers
- Summer dresses are a breeze to pack as they are lightweight and can be rolled up
- If bringing a nighttime clutch and a daytime handbag, pack your jewelry in the clutch to save packing space.

Tomatoes: Saving Seeds
This year’s garden can help you get a jump start on next year! Fran Blank from Don Mould’s Plantation showed us an easy way to preserve this years seeds to re-plant for next season.
Its easy: Slice tomato, squeeze out seeds and gel into small jar. Add water and twirl jar. Cover with Saran and label with variety name. Allow mold to grow. Carefully drain water and add more water and swirl again, continue this until the water is clear and the viable seed is on the bottom of the jar. Drain through a small strainer and dry seed on a small plate. When dry, store in a paper envelope in refrigerator with desiccant. LABEL! Remember to only use open-pollinated tomatoes!
